I haven't watched the film, only the trailer. But after watching this heart wrenching trailer on how the Japanese kill the dolphins just for money, I just had to blog this out to share it with you guys.
The Cove is a documentary film showing light on the CRUELTY and HEARTLESSNESS of humans. In particular, in Taiji, Japan. If you have read the recent Sunday times Newspaper, there was also a similar article on dolphins captivity. What's even worst is that the Japanese don't know that this is happening in their own land. Because the cove, in which these killings are done are blocked off from the rest of the world. And so to say that the only people that can access this area in Taiji are the 'murderers!'
Not only that, they sell these dolphin meats to the japanese as whale meat. If you didn't know, dolphin meat contains high level of mercury. By consuming it, it is as good as consuming poison. Can you believe it?!? Not only do this 'murderers' kills the dolphins, they are even a hazard to humans' lives!
This documentary is showing at only two Golden village cinemas- Plaza Singapura and Vivo city. I suppose that its run time is ending soon. So I'm urging you guys to catch this film, I'm going to catch it too. I've read reviews of this film and they are excellent. And if you are still worrying about the quality of the film, 'The Cove' is the winner of the audiences award at the Sundance Film Festival 2009.
What I want to say is that watching this film doesn't have to mean because it is good, but because you have the heart to care about the dolphins. One by one are being killed for as long as this is stopped by some governing body. To do that, you need to spread the word around, let the clueless people all around the world know what is happening. We have to let them know that the dolphins shows all around the world are not just entertainment but also cruelty towards them.
Imagine, you were that one dolphin captured for some show, losing all the freedom you once had. Living under the scrutiny of the people that you wouldn't even harm. Loving that very being that had captured you.
Imagine, you were that one innocent, friendly, young dolphin living in the cove, who has so much more to live for before you know it, a spear appears.......
We all know that dolphins would never harm us.
So what are you going to do after this? Are you going to sit around or Save the dolphins?
