MOVIE TRAILERS

@42 ... are you for real? do you live in the midwest? and you still want to see this doc? if every one would think like you, we would be in a pretty sad state - you also probably litter, vedge in front of the tv all day, drive a hummer or a pick up truck, and don't recycle too... you need to get out more, go for a swim in the ocean or something - I swim with these animals in the wild on a daily basis, dolphins are one of the most intelligent species out there, how can you say this shit? you must be real proud of yourself...

oops I meant #40.

#28... eat a unicorn LOL. but seriously folks..

#49 I agree with you to a certain extent. People arguing that dolphins shouldn't be killed and cows should be because they have a difference in intelligence? Get the FUCK outta here with that shit. That's like saying slaughtering all redneck hillbillies in the South would be OK, but don't even dare think about doing that to the intelligent New Yorkers, because their intelligence levels are waaaay different.

no really,c'mon people you cant just buy into this kind of bullshit.If you want something done,you'd actually go out and do something.the way these white people just march into someplace with camera crews,ready to right out a part of some foreign culture they deem wrong.I'm not saying dolphin slaying is right,legal or commendable in any way.But imagine if a bunch of foreigners just trampled through your hometown,waved to something and started lecturing you about how wrong it is. im from australia,and this kind of racism all over the place.yes,i called it racism,for lack of a better word.I don't even know what it is,but it sickens me beyond all else.

boycott all japenese products until this stops...what kind of scum can do this!!

I like eating Tuna, So what does this movie going to show us (NOTHING). I tell you what We humans eat everything until they go extinct. We are meat eaters until the end of time.

There are a lot of false arguments going on here. The fact that bad things happen all the time is no excuse to simply allow more bad things to happen when you can do something about it and put it to an end. Myself, I'm not in a position to physically go out and help these people or go get some legislation into the books, but I am n a position to pass on the word about this film, and that's what I'll do. I think if more people took a bit more of an active stance and didn't allow themselves to become jaded fucks like half you you obviously are, the world would be vastly different than it is now. @Chico: Your ignorance is staggering. Why should we give a shit that we're hunting species into extinction? 1) It will upset the balance of nature and cause other species to overpopulate or to also be wiped out. 2) We will no longer have that resource. You're aware of the fact that the earth is a finite resource? That things like Oil and Coal won't last forever? That poisoning the oceans will kill off the fish, which will kill off the birds that eat the fish, which will kill off the various animals that eat or otherwise depend on the birds, etc etc. Not to mention the fact that water goes everywhere and is also a finite resource, so poisoned ocean water will eventually end up coming out of your faucet. You're drinking 60 million year old dinosaur piss every day, not to mention the run-off from the streets and fuck knows how many chemicals and medications that get dumped down drains. But why give a shit about that stuff, right? I mean, it's totally in our power to stop it, but it's easier to just watch Lost or American Idol and be a jaded ignorant fuck. wo gives a shit about some dead dolphins. Except no dolphins = over-population of fish that WE DON'T EAT, which then grow in population and become more and more a threat to other fish that we DO EAT as they compete for food, the populations of fish we do eat goes down with this increase in competition as well as our own massive fishing industries... it can upset things in so many ways that it's not even funny.

Wow - lots of interesting discussions happening here... Unfortunately they involve folks who haven't actually seen the film!!! I saw The Cove and thought it was a wonderful documentary that sheds light on an issue that is not known about by many, including Japanese citizens that are being fed TOXIC dolphin meat. That's right, this film is not just about the cruel slaughter (and yes, it is cruel) of dolphins by a handful of fisherman in Japan but also about the irresponsible poisoning of Japanese citizens. Why you ask? well, you need to see the film to find out The film is traveling around the world to different film festivals but should be released to select theaters in a few months.

...i didn't see anything shocking :/ is everybody mad becasue they are eating the dolphins or becasue the Japs are trying to hide it?

**** I strongly think that the person in Number #13 is a Japanese fisherman who one of those who is responsible in killing those dolphins mercilessly ****** Look at how that Jap talks bad about the white people trying to be hero's and showing the world how bad people can really be, that really upsets him since they blown his cover..... If you cannot change world or can't lend on anything, why don't you shut up and let others do the saving job!!!! At least they are not crowds and they risking themselves to show the world the ugly truth!!!! Good job to those guys... Now... If i wish like there's someone like John Rambo steps in and save the dolphins and do whatever he did in Rambo 4 busting up asses but instead of the burma soldiers, those Jap scumbags !!!

I just watched the Documentary with my colleagues (Media students in Galway, Ireland) and have to say thanks a lot for the whole team. For the braveness, commitment and passion for justice and activism. Crimes like this affects all of us and they are hidden from our normal eyes while hypocrites wearing suits and tie (blinds and lost) pretend not understand how crucial it is. Every single soul in this planet is responsible for other people's actions and taking part of it becomes our duty no matter if we have to fight against giant corporations and governaments. Count on me if you need, as another nature defender or future participant in the movement.

First and foremost, I would like to say that I'm a scuba instructor who has taught in 3 different marine ecosystems, all of which are far away from the 'developed world', i.e. North America, Europe, South Africa, and have seen a lot of the impact of the West on the developing areas of the world. When you see action like this trailer, not only the slaughter but also the consumption of tainted meat, it may be shocking, but yes, it is everywhere. Another doc, Earthlings, shows footage of the same dolphin cull. Many fish caught in the Pacific has pieces of plastic in it from what we have thrown away (documentary - Addicted to Plastic) and our fisheries worldwide are depleted already. For the record, out of all the main fisheries in the world (13), 11 of them are overfished and the other two are at capacity (doc- Deep Trouble). There is a low of reason to take action on issues such as these because of the impact it is having on our way of life, no matter where you go. From personal experience, I have been places where the fish is inedible because of toxins, water needs to be shipped in from the mainland because there is no fresh water there, and where coral reefs have been destroyed because of irresponsible fishing practises. The West doesnt see the effects because the actions are taken far away, but it doesn't mean it won't impact us. The issue is that the average American/Canadian/Brit does not leave their country and experience the cultures that are waist-deep in these problems. It makes the issues a lot harder to comprehend and not just view for shock value and entertainment. This is all real, get out and see it for yourself.

Bravo! To all the people who made this film happen! It has cpenned my eyes and everyone this year will be getting this DVD as a present. Knowledge is power and I will help distribute this knowledge! Those Taiji fisherman are so blinded by what their goverment sayes to them, I can't believe they don't realize they are hurting their own people. Don't let the water run red!

Mark, A dolphin or whale is a highly intelligent MAMMAL. Cetaceans speak a language, are social animals with hierarchies, work collaboratively together for a common purpose. They spend their lives in the wild, oblivious to man until we the greedier amonst us decide to exploit them. It is NOT a chicken, cow, dog or swine bred and genetically engineered for the sole purpose of consumption. Researchers have measured dolphin IQ's and found some to be in the 80's or 90's. Consuming dolphins for food has the moral equivalence of raising Down's Syndrome children as a protein source. I wonder how long it will take the Japanese culture to shun the eating of dolphin and whale, in spite or because of the toxins involved. Pressuring the Japanese gov't to start a public service campaign on heavy metal toxicity and discouraging the consumption of marine mammals might be a good way to kill the market for dolphin meat.

Why is "intelligent" creatures more valuable in life than "less intelligent" creatures? That's what most Japanese think. You could never stop Japanese to eat dolphins or whales unless you stop dividing creatures by "importance of life". There are difference in religious views. Sorry for messy English.
