Every year in Taiji, Japan, 23,000 dolphins are slaughtered in a cove for their meat. Former dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry is at the forefront of uncovering Taiji’s hunt to the public. But is this practice a cultural difference, or just plain wrong? Here’s a trailer:
So what’s the environmental/ethical impact? The film argues these points:
Like Eye of the Whale, this film addresses many other ethical questions during the process of uncovering this scandal. Aside from the climate change issue, there’s plenty of reasons you should be thinking about every purchase and tossing what’s no longer used.
As an animal lover, I was pretty upset after seeing the flick . But while there are some tough scenes to see, I definitely recommend watching it.
These slaughterings begin September 1st each year. Want to do something? Visit the Cove’s website for more information.
