Save japan Dolphins

So this is a movie i watched about 2 weeks ago, The Cove, and it really hit me. I fell in love with dolphins at aquariums and yet the animals that live there are the product of kidnapping and mass murder - would you call it genocide? Each dolphin goes for up to $150,000. THATS CRAZY! And in the process the family and friends and whoever are brutally killed in a blood bath.

"Using state-of-the-art equipment, a group of activists, led by renown dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry, infiltrate a cove near Taijii, Japan to expose both a shocking instance of animal abuse and a serious threat to human health."

A lot of great guerrilla footage makes it quite dramatic, and the presence of Ric O'Barry (trainer of the dolphins for the Flipper tv show) make it a gripping watch. Ric is now an activist after one of his dolphins, the one he was closest to, committed suicide. While the concept of animal suicide seems odd outside of the context of humans, Ric seems to think this is what occurred. The way he describes it, she swam into his arms, looked at him, took a breath, submerged. Then she surfaced again, took another breath, submerged and never came back up. She floated to the bottom, and he is convinced that she killed herself. From that point on he has been fighting for the rights of dolphins to be free, and was arrested on that same day for trying to free another dolphin.
