The Cove
The Cove is a 2009 documentary film that recorded one former star dolphin trainer, Ric O'Barry,
and his effort in revealing the cruel dolphin hunt in Taiji, Japan. The team of adventurers penetrated the tight security around the Taiji cove and obtained forbidden footage of the mass slaughter of dolphins. Divers were used to sneak cameras into the secret area; the cameras, designed by Industrial Light and Magic, were hidden inside fake rocks that blended with the landscape. The effort devoted to get the hidden fact revealed is tremendous to imagine.
The film is a perfect example of activism in animal rights.
It touches on multiple areas around the relationship between human and dolphin.
It also raises awareness and debate around whale hunting and whale eating in Japan.
Dolphins in aquariums; dolphins in the sea;
dolphins in the Taiji cove; dolphins on the plate.
What animal will be the next?
