Inside The Cove

Get a sneak peak of the shocking new documentary about a secret dolphin massacre

Hardly anyone knew that a gruesome dolphin slaughter was happening in the remote village of Taiji, Japan, but the secret is out—and it is hitting big screens across Canada this month. Star dolphin-trainer-turned-activist Ric O’Barry teamed up with photographer Louis Psihoyos and the Oceanic Preservation Society to produce The Cove, a shocking documentary about the multi-billion dollar dolphin entertainment industry and the market for dolphin meat. The film brings to light the exploitation of marine animals with graphic scenes obtained through an undercover operation led by activists and filmmakers determined to get the truth.

It's time the Japanese Government stop this insanity, they slaughter whales in the Antarctic and call it research. One wonders what kind of research is needed to be done on Whales these days and why in such vast numbers by them. Sadly the only ones out there doing the good fight to stop this disgusting practice is the Sea Shepard Society. Now it comes to light thanks to the great work of Louis Psihoyos and The Oceanic Preservation Society, another barbaric act of the Japanese. There is really no reason for this but it is typical Japanese, they have a way of denying and lying about their deeds, example, to this day they gloss over their atrocities committed during the War to the extend that in their history books, these thing did not happen. Now when this film hits the air waves, we will hear from them, more lies on how this is just research or we are trying to feed our starving people, some BS anyway. It's time Japan cowboy up and put a stop to this slaughter of Dolphins and Whales. It's time to stop these acts of ignorance and barbarism, there is no need for this and no reason in the world for these acts. Sadly these are only words that will fall on deaf ears but it's time to write to our legislators around the world to get them off there back sides and do something other than worrying about offending the Japanese. They need us more that we need them.
I did see the Cove in an advance screening last week in Toronto. Both Ric O'Barry and Louis Psihoyos were there and answered audience questions afterwards. As for the documentary itself - parts of it were definitely hard to watch. Like Sharkwater, The Cove exposes practices against animals that are tough to swallow. The film does strive to end on a positive note, by including some of the Japanese reactions to the film and changes that have been implemented as a result. For more about dolphins, check out bluevoice.org - this website was mentionned during the film, and representatives also contributed to the documentary. Let's make our world a better place, before it's too late!
