There was a story this AM on Ananova — Dolphin massacre turns sea blood red. The images were of an EXTREMELY red body of water, and men in small boats hauling in large amounts of dolphins. The photos were snapped by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and well, they look fake. The water is FAR to red, and the amount of blood in the water to make that happen would have to be up around… maybe 75% of the water’s volume? If these aren’t fake, then I think the only possibility is as I’ve created below:
The actual Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s site is down at the moment, so I’ll point you to Consumer Freedom’s overview of The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (with choice quotes from SSCS founder Paul Watson — e.g. “There’s nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you win. Then you write the history.”)
(I should point out that I don’t know who Consumer Freedom is backed by, but they were one of the larger sources of info on the SSCS.)

While I certainly consider the slaughter of marine mammals by humans a bad thing across the board, I’m going to have to agree with your assessment that this photo seems a tad overdone.
I did find the above link from PBS (a more legitimate site, imo) that also talks about the water eventually becoming red from a similar slaughter. So, who knows? While I don’t agree with the individual’s rationality for killing animals, I do appreciate the fact that they think it should never be done lightly or with torture.
If you have difficulty finding the link, which I thought would show up under “Link”, but instead comes up under “www”, then just paste this:
