Anyone know the name of this song? I'm doing a presentation at school for my final exam about the Cove and the slaughter of dolphins (and other animals) world wide in early May. I would really appreciate it!

@brittboo858 the song is called SAPPHIRE BLUE by Paul Jago. I hope the presentation goes well--we need to get the truth as far and wide as possible. :-)

@delfinusdelphis I agree and disagree with you, I personally believe that killing another species for consumption is unacceptable but its a sad but true fact of life. What happened here happens everyday to other species, so why is it so different if it's dolphins?

[delfinusdelphis]

@deathtoraj dolphins literally saved my life at sea and they certainly didn't have to place their lives at risk to save mine and then swim me all the way back to shore, nearly a mile. but they did. It seems only fair I try to return the favour. Also they have very complex brains, bigger than our own, if that means anything to you. It certainly means a lot to the neuroscientists who understand the staggering ramifications. Killing all these other animals doesn't have to happen either.

I understand why everyone gets upset by this, the pictures are terrible but at the end of the day this is no different then fishing for tuna or any other type of animal that lives in the ocean or on land for that matter. Think of the millions of pounds of chickens or cows we go through every year. That meat doesn't appear from thin air. God put man at the top of the food chain for a reason and everything on this earth is ours to use. If dolphin is food to them then I say by all means, eat up.

@mo11217 Yours is exactly the kind of mindset, utterly devoid of compassion or connection with our fellow beings, that so contributes to the suffering and horror so rampant in today's world. Can you imagine Jesus stabbing dolphins to death? Ripping the heads of chickens? I think not.

COMPASSION AND KINDESS towards our fellows humans, animals and even the environment upon which we ALL depend, is the key to a better world. Indifference and complacency are among the greatest evils!

If you spend your hard earned money to purchase tickets to attend captive dolphin shows or to swim, pet or feed captive dolphins this video shows what your ticket purchases are encouraging ~ The continuation of the terrorizing, capture, slaughter of entire pods of dolphins (dolphin families) and sale of the few survivor dolphins into lives of captivity. Still want to see a dolphin show? Swim with captive dolphins? Well then, the blood of their slaughtered family members is on your hands.

I like that this message about the evil being perpetrated in Taiji Japan is getting out, but I don't like this abuse!

[reallymustiwtf]

i just can't watch, it's sickening(not the video the killings)

[brittboo858]

@delfinusdelphis Thank you very much! :)

[Lauren4sa]

Aren't those common dolphins? 

[Lauren4sa]

@brittboo858 good idea

[lovebigboobs29]

@brittboo858 The planet is fine and in no way of being killed. To each their own I agree with animals as entertainment as well as consuming meat and animal products. Its my choice what I spend my money on

[brittboo858]

@lovebigboobs29 Why are you watching this video? It's people with your mindset that are slowly killing our planet! No one is telling you that you have to boycott them we are because we don't agree with animals being a) tortured b) slaughtered and c) confined to a concrete fish bowl for the rest of their lives.

Whoops! Sorry crftysue. I made a boo boo. My very rude remarks were intended for lovebigboobs29. I'm spending lots of time writing in support of dolphins and trying to persuade Taiji people and Japan to stop this terrible slaughter. Most Japanese don't really know what's gong on but those at Taiji are arrogant pigs who have no emotions except greed for money. Terribly sorry, sue if I upset you. God bless all animals, birds and creatures.
