The Cove
“The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises in Taiji, Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the world is not aware this is happening as the Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. The focus of the Social Action Campaign for The Cove is to create worldwide awareness of this annual practice as well as the dangers of eating seafood contaminated with mercury and to pressure those in power to put an end to the slaughter.”
What a great way to spread awareness. I will admit, I’m not very educated on the dolphin situation in Japan, but I think we all need to educate ourselves a little more on stuff like this. The Cove came out in theaters this past summer. But if you haven’t seen it already, catch it on DVD December 8th.
