After the Oscars Sunday night Matt decided we should check out this award winning documentary. If you haven't seen it, I definitely recommend it.
The Cove reveals the practices of a small village in Japan (Taiji to be exact) as they work in the dolphin industry to create revinue. I won't give away too many details but it's fair to say that I had NO idea that this kind of slaughter/exploitation of dolphins was going on in the world. I mean, honestly, I'd never really even thought about where the Sea Worlds and large aquariums of the world get their dolphins. Now I surely will.
For the little girl that wanted to be a marine biologist ages ago (it's true, you can ask my sister about the mean stunts I used to make her pull so that I could pretend to be training whales or dolphins), this was an eye-opening documentary.
Now go....rent it for yourself....and let's save the dolphins! (if that's not cheesy, I don't know what is...)
I had some really inappropriate comment to say here about Tri Delt and dolphins...but that's lame. Soooo all to say I'll put this in the Netflix queue!
ReplyDeleteI was talking about this documentary the other day with Nicole after the trainer died in Sea World from the orca whale. I also wanted to be an animal psychologist so that I could train the animals - but it really makes you wonder...
