  • 100 million sharks are killed each year to cut off the fins and then thrown alive into the sea to die suffocation and bled. videos of this type, where the Sharks faced absurdly charismatic species like the dolphin, do not help the species. I have nothing against the Dolphins, they too are slaughtered in Taiji each year to meet Japanese aquariums and meat markets. sharks do not eat humans, we are not part of their diet and dolphins do not need to save us, we humans who must save both species.

  • I wasn't listening, then I heard "Penetrating it's prey" and burst out laughing.

  • Wow, Dolphins can make their own toys, and play their own games. I love dolphins.

  • I wish I was 50% human and 50% dolphin.

  • Alternatively, they might just want to have sex with humans ...

  • Wow, I love BBC's re-enactments, very realistic!

  • @sideshow0192 Well,I must say.i am with you on this one.Most people don't wanna know about what's going on in The Cove.They just don'T!It is easier for them to have A drink with their mate's in their local,and have e few laughs..But when it come's to stay up all night doing research,signing petitions,watching video about The fucking Cove!They just don't have the bloody time for it!So i say to all you LAZY pretending to care but don't!HELP us out with the Dolphins,Or just SHUT the HELL UP!!

  • 6 sharks dislikes this video.

  • @sideshow0192 Nothing at all is wrong with loving earth's creatures. I love dolphins, and I love to swim with them. However, even if I held a different opinion, I don't quite see how that makes me "ignorant". To me ignorance is about lacking information, not about holding a controversial, even absurd, opinion (as in VESSHELPINGCATS' opinion that Japan deserved to be hit by a tsunami).

    Anyway, I'll direct you as I did sonbuhitsunei (below) to the comment that my comment was replying to.

  • 6 dislikers were Japs that ate Dolphins

  • I think it's arguable that they, not we, are the most advanced form of intelligence on this planet. Doubt it? Which species kills it's own kind for not holding the same belief? Or simply for the pleasure of it? Which species destroys it's own habitat, rapes, steals, and attacks others for simply having darker or lighter skin? Kills a peaceful species that has been known to save their lives at sea? US. Dolphins direct their intelligence toward something more useful: love and life and happiness.

  • OMG I LUV DOLPHINS T____________T

  • too bad japanese are killing them,, oh wait have they been hit by a tsunami???

  • @jeffagain1 yep!And i think i am sorry to say,the japanese did diserved it,too bad a few dolphins did die on that day too..They couldn't get out of the pen's,they all died..God bless them poor soul's..

  • @VESSHELPINGCATS Could you help me understand why tens thousands of people "diserved" to die, or have their lives uprooted, because some people kill dolphins?

    If you sincerely love dolphins more than humans, might I suggest that you forfeit human society to join your dolphin brothers and sisters. I wish you the best of luck.

  • @JacquotA Tens of thousands would not die were dolphins not killed- that is clearly a fallacy. There is no population dependent on their meat- it is a delicacy and not a thing of sustainance. Even if it were...frankly, we are over populating the Earth, and disease, death, and starvation of our kind will be, mark my words, an inevitable result of it. We simply cannot sustain a population of 15, 20 billion, which it WILL BE in 50-100 years, at the rate it is burgeoning. Perhaps I misunderstood you

  • @sonbuhitsunei

    You did misunderstand me (as did JohnAlthani), but that's okay. I really just want to hear VESSHELPINGCATS respond to my original request. If you are looking for clarification, you might want to scroll down to jeffagain1's comment about the tsunami and VESSHELPINGCATS' response to that comment (which is what my comment was referring to). It's kind of convoluted.

    On another note, I totally agree with you about overpopulation.

  • @JacquotA *when I said JohnAlthani, I actually meant sideshow0192.

  • @sonbuhitsunei dOLPHINS ONLY LIVE UP TO 20 YEARS MAX!So,There are no danger of they over populating the earth..It is pretty much the opposite.We are living now longer, and longer well to our 90's or some people 100 year's old!What chance are these poor Animal will have if we don't help them now??Have you ever think of that??Over eating,over fishing,over KILLING anything that moves!Come on!??Wake up Mate!Help us to STOP this CRUELTY,or don't say nothing at all..No offence!!Sign the petition OK??

  • And yet people slay dolphins in a very cruel way and in huge numbers then put them in cans... fkn humans!

  • I love dolphins so much. The Japanese have an annual Dolphin Hunt in which they catch them and kill them by cutting their heads off with machetes while the dolphins are alive. I can't imagine how anyone could be so barbaric.

  • @JoyousinJesus That is because they are CRUEL INSANE! People!That's why we must press on with this Sign the petition on save the dolphins site before September.If we don't finish this,more poor Dolphins will be SUFFERING again,and again forever more!!We cannot let this continue!We must get President Obama's Attention so he can see that this Barbaric act like you said,does BOTHER us!He will Speak to Japan's Prime minister,it is the only way for this CRUELTY to STOP for good!We must not give up!!

  • Respond to this video...That's because they are not Human, as we know it..They are Crazy People!!Believe me!I lived there for 5 years,I know that all they think about is money, and golf!!Ah, and eating anything that moves..Even if it is FORBIDDEN to KILL DOLPHINS!!We all know where they're going, when they die don't we!??

    I am sorry but i don't feel one bit sorry for a country that have so much money!And still choose to be Damn CRUEL!We nee Dolphins ALIVE not DEAD!BOYCOTT Japan!!

  • @JoyousinJesus FUCKA YOU DORUPHIN!! FUCKA YOU WHAIRU!!!

  • That's not a dolphin, it's a pokemon.

  • LOL lois!

  • robot unicorn attack

  • fuck me

  • I hate when scientists devalue an animals ability to think and reason and empathize like these traits are exlusive to the human animal.

  • Don't compare chickens and cows to dolphins, though all human history they have helped crews of ships either to navigate through dangerous places or saving survivors from sharks and taking to the coast.

    In most sea cultures of the world, dolphins are sacred, signal of good luck, and the only friend you will find in the middle of the sea.

    Perhaps, the lack of a real naval exploration culture is what makes the japanese bale to kill thousands of dolphins every year.

  • @pjboom you couldn't have said it better dude or girl..voted for you..Thank you for saying that,keep up the good work and blog a bit on google,and facebook.You have a very nice way of putting all together..LOL!We must stop the Japanese!They're very cruel people!!

  • @pjboom Well said!There are still light in the end of The BLOODY Cove..If we had more People like you on youtube,or any other site doing something to help these poor Animals..Friends..Maybe we could STOP the Japanese for good!!There is no reason why not!We have Twitter,Google buzz,care2,my Space,facebook..You name it..So many site we can go and Blog..It all COUNTS!!Problem is,People are too busy having a good time they don't think about it!The Dolphins have to put up with SUFFERING for 3 month!

  • some people actually want dolphins classified as non human persons there are some interesting arguments for it though

  • @TheWhiteOp Yeah, what is with the arguments? We write off any creature less smart than us as animals. what are we then?!!! cos we're not plants. intelligence is irrelevant to whether we're animals. dolphins arent technologically advanced so what? that doesn't make us better than them, in fact its opposite. they're trying to get us to understand them so fricking hard, and we're off blowing ourselves up and killing em as well. it's sick and its wrong, and makes us pathetic compared to them.

  • One of the smartest creatures on the planet.

    An one of two known creatures to simply have sex for enjoyment. Second would be Humans =D

  • 058 omnomnomnom

  • I really dislike the way people use the word 'rational' sometimes.

  • Humans have a fatty layer under their skin for boyancy, like whales and dolphins (Apes does not) The birth of a human is excruciating, like it is for dolphins. When Dolphins give birth there is always an experienced female in the matter at hand to help the one giving birth. Humans have a dive reflex; our heart rate slows down whenever we dive, APES does not. Humans thrive in water, infants knows how to swim before they can walk. There is evidence that Dolphins can use abstract thinking etc.

  • dolphins .. pls dont save us. Humans will repay by killing u.

  • I know, right?! Why must they be killed? Like, omg! So brutally killed! All the fuckwits and treehuggers with me, let's go drop a nuke on hiroshima!

    You're all so adorably stupid and angry... it's almost sickening.

  • So many people in the comments section are ignorant hypocrite fucks.

  • it should be illegal to kill dolphins, they are animals and deserve a right to live. they are amazing creatures.

  • @Alm2430 i only agree because they save us and they're so intelligent.

  • magnificent creatures! Why must they be brutally killed? *shakes head*

    unfair, very unfair.

  • I must admit that i do not like that some people kill and eat dolphins, but i don't see how it's much different than killing and eating cows and chickens. I watched the cove and it did upset me a great deal. Not the fact that dolphins were being killed and eat, butn rather the manner in which these killings were carried out. It is totally grotesque to let any animal suffer like that when you kill it off. Any killing of animals for any purpose should be as quick and as painless as possible

  • @mortenrobinson I think it comes down to the intelligence of an animal. Chicken and dogs are considered stupid. Where as dogs and dolphins, etc. are considered smart and useful. I don't know. That's what I think decides what animals should be killed.

  • To those who are commenting on the Japanese killing dolphins ~ It's not just one culture killing one species. People in general want to eat anything that moves. Learn about factory farming, and you can imagine what certain cultures would say about the animal "food" industry in the U.S. As for the oceans, we are bleeding them dry. Bluefin tuna, and many others, are on the verge of extinction. Watch the film The End of the Line. Very informative!

  • @soulflower1970 but dolphins save humans!

  • @soulflower1970

    that's funny, before i read the comment section, i was thinking :Fucking Japs, Fucking dolphin killers" thanks for the moment of clarity!

  • The gross people in The Cove are not like all Japanese. Japanese don`t like to eat dolphins. Those gross murdering people are just greedy bastards.

  • lol we might not be being saved they just want to play lmao

  • Dolphins are really intelligent and amazing creatures. But as far as saving drowning people...well, there are just as many stories of them pushing people underwater as well. We may never know their real intentions. ;P

  • Ah, really lookin forwoard to the day they all leave and say "so long, and thanks for all the fish" Just sayin.

  • don't just focus on Japan, the Faroe Islands and the solomon islands also kill dolphins.

  • Imagine If We can communicate with dolphins to the point of them helping us discover medical problems in thge body?

  • I love dolphins and I know the narrator! He did DK Eyewitness for the english. Can I find more clips like this one narrated by the same person?

  • @ Keviar245.... dude no animal is safe from asians.

  • Lets take a good look at this video - soon this will be the only reference given to future kids in school - this is what dolphins looked like, and sharks and turtles - until the world became to greedy and created the world's worst man-made disaster that killed all of this magnificent beauty that God created for us to nurture and marvel.

    Their intelligence is a SPIRITUAL COSMIC INTELLIGENCE, not stupid flawed like the modern humans'. They love humanity and forgave us already for everything.

  • I went to To Japan for school and tried dolphin meat it was really tasty

  • @faget7444 u asshole!!

  • japs love dolphins more than anybody else.

  • In a recent study it was found that dolphins are much more intelligent than previously expected. They are so intelligent, that they actually act a little stupid so as not to insult the scientists who study them.

  • @RuniChannel1 And then again some people are just stupid. Amazing animals, dolphins are.

  • im a reptile and i can hear it it makes my ears bleed

  • i love dolphins. I am japanese and i HATE HATE HATE that japan industries kill them. It pisses me off, that is acutally one of the reasons why i dont like being japanese too.

  • @nikkigirl44 dont feel bad about your ethnicity. There are good and bad people through all parts of the world. what matters is the difference the good people and yourself make.

  • i was never super interested in dolphins because I always saw the stupid girls with the ankle tattoos and the bracelets, but their intelligence is mind blowing and it disappoints me they aren't considered non human persons. They remind me of Zora from Legend of Zelda and Gorillas remind me of Goron. lol

  • i think dolphins are one of the most amazing animals

  • Dolphins can actually create their own tricks using their imagination. They have the ability to make decisions and they probebly look down upon our stupidity.

  • I love dolphins, always have done, watching them swim calms me down and they save people =) Intelligent, caring... If only we could talk with these magnificent creatures.

  • largest known dolphins are killer whales. Note that they aren't called "cuddly whales."

  • they are also known to murder and rape.

  • excuse me, rape?

  • I suspect dolphins are more intelligent than Chimps. Humans use the animals ability to obey commands as a litmus test for intelligence.. it doesn't makes sense to equate intelligence with ability to obey when some animals like the dolphin do not have the opposable thumbs necessary for many abilities.

  • @lauraleesmithagain A study in 2009 showed dolphins to be the second smartest animal, humans being the first.

  • @IAmTheCthulhu that's just human arrogance that makes us first. We can't accept that there could be something smarter than us. And Bottlenose Dolphins can be total bastards.

  • @DalekHunter1994 i think that'd be awesome if they were smarter, just incapable of using their smarts to their advantage. Myabe someday they will though. :)

  • This made me so happy. :)

  • @OfMelodies

    Me too. I wanna snuggle one of them now :3

  • once humans wipe themselves out dolphins will become masters of the world, especially when sea levels rise

  • They'll check out our old homes and be all like "the fuck"

  • Beastinblack: In addition, one of the accepted criteria for intelligence is adaptability. They have been here some 30 million years longer and will probably survive us as well...

  • Just like on that Simpson's Halloween Special.

  • It's seems reasonable to me that over time the social cooperation between dolphins and humans may have endeered us to them allowing for them to more successfully proliferate, thus this behavior is continually passed on.

  • So long, and thanks for all the fish!

  • @godalmightywtf I love that movie! :)

  • This is soo emotional.. I just Love how dolphins are...they are so harmonious with nature and seeing them just makes me forget my sadness..:):) Humans likes us have to learn from them..

  • @ranuvawinter Just don't look up any videos about the darker side of dolphins.

  • i miss read the title dolphins are humans. that would have been good. this is not.

  • if i ever drown in the sea... i`ll pray to dolphins...

  • Dolphins are a lot less violent than humans. Makes sense, though. Their neocortex is larger.

    No dolphin has ever killed a human. Dolphins have saved countless human lives through the ages. They certainly don't deserve to be tortured for 20-30 hours in Japan and Denmark.

  • but aint it true that dolphines torture little wales just for fun and even rape female dolphins after havin them separated from their calves?

  • dolphins are the only other mamalls that have sex for pleasure.... just wot i found out on a documentary...

    haha 1:21-1:24 dolphin just stairing at the womans belly P:

  • Dolphins are extremely intelligent and self aware, that is true. And with personality comes Selfishness from the natural urge to reproduce and pass on ones genes for as long as they can. You could find that Humans have the same ultimate goal if you exclude the need to explore. If that is true Dolphins are capable of evil, its also shown that they do Rape and Kill for fun and not food or competition, they can be equally destructive and violent as Humans if they were more Evolved.

  • that's really the only downside to intelligence.

  • Yes there're records that dolphins rape their females and kill porpoises for fun, but they NEVER do harm to humans. That's a strange fact, goes far beyond the reasoning of the selfish gene.

    BTW, dolphins are MORE evolved than humans in terms of physiology and neurology.

  • @Adominae 1994, A man got killed by a bottlenosed dolphin in the coast of Brazil.

  • @idricool "In December 1994, a dolphin off the coast of Brazil seriously injured a man who witnesses say was harassing the dolphin. The man subsequently died from those injuries...."

    One case in history.

  • I love dolphin!!!! Wish swim with them!!! kiss their lovely nose.

  • dolphins are so cool

  • there are also stories of dolphins that fuk with surfers dragging them down. dolphins are also known to kill sharks for fun

  • Actually angiesauraus, Bottlenose dolphins kill porpoises for fun too (and the injuries are pretty horrific for the porpoise). Males will also hold females hostage and subject her to forced copulation. They will also carry out infanticide. Many of the large dolphins will also eat smaller dolphins.

    I get so sick of people trying to make dolphins out as walt disney 'gods' rather than seeing them as wild animals.

  • yh im glad they kill sharks for fun... cos i bet if a great white saw u in his place he wud probably kill u for fun too..

    and dolphins never known to have killed anyone yet.

  • i love the ending :)

     -animals rock pplz sox xD

  • oh gosh this made me cry

  • And how do they know dolphins can "X-ray"???

  • "like" an x-ray...

  • THEY STUDY FOR A LONG TIME WITH THEM

  • simply fasinating i mean really extraordinary. I want to get this documentary now this looks really good

  • What's with this slimy obsession with the phrase "extra sensory"?

  • monkeys have sex for pleasure not just humans and dolphins. It's interesting that they have more senses operating than humans, it must be that they are smarter than us in some ways or perceptions.

  • I have sex for pleasure and they call me a DOG!!!!!????

  • lol i LOVE dolphins

  • I have only one thing to say about this.

    AMAZING!

  • Desmond Morris hypothesized that humans were amphibious apes at one time, which would explain many characteristics about human physiology (chubby babies that instinctively know how to swim, moist dung, legs that straighten out, slightly webbed fingers, etc.), so it's possible humans and dolphins once had a close symbiotic relationship.

  • It's quite an exciting and facinating idea that humans could share more common biological traits with dolphins than with apes. Dolphins appear to be highly social cretures who don't live well in isolation much like humans. I believe the theorized common ancestor to the dolphin is a wolf like creature. The social aspect of "pack" behavior makes sense in that regard.

  • dont show your disrepect here

  • yea other than us dolphins are the only animal that has sex for pleasure making them my fav now i learn they save people, i love dolphins

  • i wish i had xray vision too :) lol

  • It really pisses me off that the japanese kills thousands of them for their fishing industry.

  • @keviar245

    i agree. we should join the sea sheperds.

  • @keviar245 lets kill japanese people cuz they faggots

  • @keviar245 dude japs kills whales, not dolphins. Im pretty sure.

  • @dcchun they do indeed kill thousands of dolphins for "Scientific" research but it is sold in fish markets labeled as whale meat. Watch "the cove" that is all the confirmation you need. They kill both whale and dolphins not exclusively the other.

  • @keviar245 But it's totally fine that us Americans kill millions of Chickens and Cows?

    We do the same thing, just different animals.

  • @BlaskoWX in theory, we have been known to have been aquatic apes at one time, that is why babies are able to swim right when they get out of the womb as well as a waxy coating; we also have a diving reflex if properly trained permitting us to dive for minutes at a time. it is speculated that we were symbiotically alligned with the dolphin at that time. regardless; dolhpins are one of the smartest beasts on earth second only to humans and that is widely challenged as well.Theyarenotjust animals.

  • dolphinss... little dolphins... creatures divine!!!

  • i hope this dolphins will rescue me when i drown.,because i cant swim that well.hehehe

  • learn  from the dolphin

  • and start pushing sharks away with youre nose ???

  • It's the same as use throwing a punch.

  • dolphins have sex for pleasure..just like us haha

  • and we destroy the planet...

  • wow, thats incredible stuff

  • I wish humans could sence half as much what thease beautiful creatures do. I praise God look around there is so much beauty , When I have a bad day Im so thank full I find a site like this , so I might have to refocus and take a deep breath and be thankful for life life is Good

  • Dolphins are such smart, friendly & sensitive creatures!

  • dolphins are such beautiful creatures, its to bad teh japanese brutally kill them year by year in the 10s of thousands... the wrold we live in..

  • I feel much for this subject to this day I do not eat  tuna

  • @1wonluv3 plz Obama, let's bomb Japan one more time with a nuclear weapon.

  • I think we have a lot to learn from dolphins and whales.

  • This whole setup is stupid. I don't want to be tempted to watch a show I can't see in entirety. Make these entire shows available for purchase on iTunes and I'd buy it in a second!

  • that was awesome

  • Thank you BBC. You are the BEST. Please come and teach America some of these things! Let American media know that there is more to life than Britney Spears or Paris Hilton.

  • Ever hear of National Geographic?

    you dumb Fool! you think its the only

    America cares about because you focus on only that,also BBC America is a station already/ we have BBC through cable

  • very good thanks well worth watching .

  • Lovely...thanks Beeb
