Watching the Academy Awards just now, I came across a documentary that made my heart stop. The Cove is a film about the annual killing of dolphins a National Park at Taiji, Wkayama, in Japan.The film highlights that the number of dolphins killed is several times greater than the number of whales killed in the Antarctic, and claims that 23,000 dolphins are killed in Japan every year. The migrating dolphins are herded into a hidden cove where they are netted and slaughtered by means of spears and knives over the side of small fishing boats.
Of course, contributing to this effort is much more complex than simply buying cruelty-free products or adopting an animal from a shelter. This is an issue that needs to get the attention of the American and Japanese governments in order for change to happen.
Here's what we can do:
1. Sign a petition stating that the current dolphin slaughter in Japan is not okay: Text DOLPIN to 44144 to sign the petition straight from your phone
3. See the film! available on DVD and on itunes
2. SPREAD THE WORD: The more people who know, the more people will want to act.
