The Cove Trailer

Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, The Cove follows a high-tech dive team on a mission to discover the truth about the international dolphin capture trade as practiced in Taiji, Japan. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening worldwide.


The Cove exposes not only the tragedy of dolphin slaughtering in Japan, but also the dangerously high levels of mercury in dolphin meat and seafood, the cruelty in capturing dolphins for entertainment, and the depletion of our oceans fisheries by worldwide seafood consumption. We also see how the mandate of the International Whaling Commission has been manipulated by the Japanese Fisheries Agency for its benefit and its subsequent effect on the rest of the world.

@Bahamas137 yakusa will cut your finger.

You, sick meat eater! You are ill.

You should lift the safe whale meat up. Whale is not a man but an animal.They are delicious food.Livestock screams, when killed, but it keeps silent about a whale and it dies. Livestock is cruel. They are delicious food.

@Bahamas137 Cowards!...That's you.

@rano0672 How stupid you are! There is no mercury of a dolphin as the damage of the tobacco which your mother smokes. And since it is little, it is soon discharged by the outside of their body. It is safe. Those who are actually harmful do not have one person, either. It seems that damage has already appeared in you who eat the sick meat of livestock rather. If the remark of me and you is compared, it understands immediately.

Cowards!

Cowards!

Cowards!

Cowards!

Cowards!

Cowards!

WHALE MEAT IN CHILD’S SCHOOL LUNCHES SOLD BY JAPANESE WHALERS IN JAPAN FOUND TO BE TOXIC

Samples, bought from two local supermarkets, also had 10-12 times more methyl mercury than advised levels, he said.

“We were shocked that it continued to be served in school lunches,” Ryono told Reuters by phone.

Other types of whalemeat are already served in school lunches nationwide, including in Tokyo.

“The levels of mercury measured by scientists in whale meat are higher than the levels in fish eaten by people in the Minamata Bay area of Japan,” said the Japanese Research team. “The region is well known for its previous problems with mercury. Hundreds of children were born with birth defects caused by their parents consumption of Mercury contaminated items.”
