instead a good AWARD WINNING doc of DOLPHIN killing SHOULD INCLUDE ALL COUNTRIES that are CURRENTLY KILLING DOLPHINS

not focus on japan and NEGLECT TO MENTION....... other countries.



[xoxo221x]

why is the film so focused on japan, japanese culture, jap ppl, the town? isn't this about dolphins? why didn't he take the time to include other dolphins being killed in the same way in the FILM ABOUT DOLPHIN? why was denmark and other countries killing dolphins not mentioned?

why so much focus on japanese and japan

[xoxo221x]

sign pentition to stop senseless hunting of deer and bears (remember bambi? awwwwwwwwww)

sign petition to stop foie gras

sign petition to stop animal captivities...not just dolphins in japan

sign petition to stop denmark killing of dolphins

[xoxo221x]

and why do you think ppl in denmark kills dolphins?

does it matter if they supply to see world or to eat them? it's still killing, i don't see a huge media coverage over there.

and dolphins are contaminated everywhere...it's in the same ocean.

@xoxo221x The bigger issue that was discovered in The Cove was that the Japanese people were being poisoned (mercury) by dolphin meat being masqueraded as whale meat, especially to school lunch programs. Why are dolphins being killed in Denmark - to supply the dolphin shows with dolphins and/or to feed people? Are their dolphins contaminated?

[xoxo221x]

cows are considered sacred in some people's view, so when do we stop killing cows for their peace of mind?

denmark kills dolphin (check my vid) I don't see OBARRY rushing over to create huge negative publicity for them and destory their rep and economy

Mercury pollution in Japan has no ground in actual fact.

Regulation toward pollution in Japan is highly strict after Minamata accident. If mercury pollution is now going on just like you say, many many Minamata would occur.Japan is one of the most successful country about countermeasure toward pollution .Japanese environmental technology is the highest level in the world. And mercury regulation is highly strict. Mercury pollution of cove is complete fake story.

@chrysan6128 Did you see the movie. More important than the dolphins being saved was to save the Japanese people from eating mercury contaminated dolphin meat being masqueraded as whale meat. The Japanese didn't know they were being poisoned by a few greedy fisherman.

[chrysan6128]

The cove insulted Japanese for money. For profit the cove denied the culture in Japan. For business the cove destroyed the tradition in Japan. This is the conflict of interest between the money and the cultural tradition.

Nobody in the world could answer why dolphins are superior to other animals. Why only dolphins are smarter and more beautiful than other animals?

Great work! Look forward to seeing this film!
