Drive hunters
Hello,
what does "drive hunter" mean here? is this a hunting technique? or does it mean that fishermen do it a bit violently?
Taiji is not the only community that hunts dolphins, thousands of which are killed across the world either by intent or by becoming ensnared in fishermen’s nets. But Taiji’s fishermen are notorious drive hunters, banging on metal poles to herd panicked dolphins into a cove, then spearing them to death in what protesters describe as a gory bloodbath.

It is a hunting technique: a line of hunters or fishermen moving forward and creating a disturbance in order to drive the game either to other waiting hunters or to a constricted area where they can be more easily killed.
