Is this video for real?

Who the fuck cares if she was "really" crying from watching the dolphin slaughter.

DOLPHINS WERE/ARE STILL KILLED.

That's the point of the documentary, and since that's been exposed, the fisherman are doing everything they can to point out errors and "lies", it's pathetic.

Honestly, all these pointed out errors doesn't mute the main point of the film. Furthermore, the evidence for the counter-claim that the woman wasn't crying over dolphins is insufficient and dubious - accounting the local clearly have an opposite vested interest. Anyone with a decent brain understands the Taiji fisherman is angry at the film's potential of harm to their income and not to some factual errors. Hence, it makes the telephone interviewer's question completely irrelevant and confused.

Animal are slaughtered in every country - here in the USA - in China - in Europe - for food and fur. Just look at how much abuse people do to their own spouses and children ..... it's our species, they have always been and will always be CRUEL and sadistic - yes it's sad because at least some of us evolve to where we have empathy toward each other and other living things.

A "documentary" film based on lies surely loses its force as a documentary.

As for "what matters is dolphins dying" kind of non-sensical comment, idiots who leave comments think that their food grow on supermarket shelves.

These 2 pathetic things that have zero importance in the film is the best you could come up with? Seriously just STFU.

STFU MAN, BULLSHIT

[Ido013]

Both sides are so stupid. One side is obsessed with the so-called cruelty against the dolphins (should they look at their own cow and pig pen they'd need to STFU), and the other side is trying to cover irrelevant details making this video irrelevant. Stop being influenced by what you see and get some sense people.

very small details would not change the fact that the fishermen are criminals ! Killing a dolphin, is like killing a child of 7 years old... It has the same spirit, intelligence, self awareness, feelings, and pain ! One century ago, doctors used to do surgery on babies without any anesthesia, because babies can't say " stop, you are hurting me !" If someone can not express his pain, dooes not mean that he is not suffering. We don't do that any more, so why we keep being so crual with animals ?

@TKKTism こんなもんが映画か？アカデミー賞か？嘘の塊やろが。お前らええ­加減にせえよ。

日本人はみんなお前らの事をうすうす知ってるぞ。日本人は知らな­いからというのはウソだ。

みんなお前たちのしていることはしっている。白人どもめ。

アメリカ人にはこの責任をとってもらう。少なくともおれは、ハリ­ウッド映画をみない。

お前ら俺の言うことがわかるか？理解できるんか？日本語もわから­んと、英語をぶくぶく噴き出しやがって。このくそ野郎が、邪魔な­白人は皆殺しだ。イルカのように死ね。

People who made this should hang their head in shame, trying to justify this slaughter saying people are just trying to eradicate things from the world that is not of their liking,,, Yeah right, good job we didn't hold that philosophy over Hitler killing the Jewish people or the countless other insane acts of so called intelligent people.This is all about greed, money, an easy buck, thats the only reason. Find some morality FFS instead of greed and corruption and then try to blame it on culture.

@P1NKBLUSH Yep Japanese are intoxicated by all that mercury, no wonder their brain is not functionning properly!

I can't believe they still deny the documentary, just pitiful human beings on that Island!

Especially those fisherman!
