@ASUTRISH The Sea World in Japan is not affiliated with the SeaWorld in America. They aren't the same park, and to be honest, I don't know if they've even ever communicated. If you're going to discuss your "facts" you better get your stuff together and do some research.

I personally think that the Cove needs to have a special rating because it's not meant for stupid, ignorant people, because when those kinds of people watch the documentary, they take it to a whole new level. So many of them suddenly becomes dolphin experts, angry and racist towards Japan, believing in delusional things like karma, etc. It's really pathetic and needs to stop.

I own the Cove and have seen it a dozen of times, you would have to be retarded and ignorant to think that what they are saying is that anyone who goes to see a dolphin in captivity is directly supporting Taiji or whaling, c'mon? Are you just trying to start some bullshit? Get real. I do NOT support keeping large marine mammals in an enclosure of any kind but not all of them mistreat creatures or get them from taiji. Your pathetic.

yo! 1% 99 % it doesnt fcking matter! LEAVE THE DOLPHINS ALONE!!!! cant you just freakin eat chicken or beef!? damn you carnivals! there must be a reason why JAPAN dont want cameras.

I watched the movie and asian countries are WELL KNOWN to do this against see animals... so YOU GET YOUR FACTS straight and go back to eat farm animals like everyone else!

@IAmADalek Ive seen the film many times. Rick was the main trainer for the Dolphins on Flipper in Miami not a Junior trainer at all. Your wrong. Even wikipedia. states it. Its everywhere. Show me any info you have to prove he was just a Junior trainer and had nothing to do with those Dolphins. Dolphins and Whales were imported into the US well after that. No wild dolphins were allowed to be caught and then bought and imported into the US. But Dolphins already in other parks could be bought.

[IAmADalek]

@Stopthegreed I'm assuming you haven't watched the film? There has been two (TWO) dolphins in the US from Taiji and that was back in the 60's. American parks and European parks don't need wild caught animals as they breed well in captiviy. This film is so one sided, the facts are so skewed and mutilated by O'Barry that it's just stupid. RIc O'Barry is up his bum and thinks that he created the Dolphin Swims and aquarium. He was a junior trainer with Flipper. He's ridiculous.

@xoceebeexo Seeing as you think Dolphin's are Fish, you're arguement is now mute.

@Lily5185

Moving past the fact that your statement doesn't make any sense at all, it has absolutely nothing to do with this video. Not at any time it in the video it's said that the killing of dolphins is a good thing. They just want to show that the facts on which "The Cove" is build are actually false, and that the makers of  "The Cove" contradict themselfs.

@augusta776 The video is criticism against irregularities in movies, not once does the narrator (and I assume creator) lend his own moral standing to any particular view. He does not say any of the following A) The movie, and its overall point is false, B) That these points undermine the entire movie, C) That the hunt is morally justified, D) Although he is likely an advocate for aquariums, he does not advocate their existence. All he is doing is pointing out specific falsehoods.

[augusta776]

The point from the movie is that Japan is slaughtering dolphins. Way more than it needs to. Also, that they use captivity profits to help fund the slaughter. You can't say that the money doesn't go to the slaughterers. Read a few books about dolphin captivity and the horrible effects and you'll see that captivity should be ended. This video is ridiculous;all in all the slaughter needs to stop! end of story.
