I have NO desire to watch my precious dolphins being murdered. It's bad enough to try to ignore the horrific bloody pictures that often appear on the petitions we sign for dolphin slaughter, but watching it happen...my heart isn't strong enough. I understand that you wish to get the word out Claudia and I give you Kudos for that.

Thnx Phoenix. Noted.

...ME EITHER, BARBCAT;..BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO...HOWEVER, MANY PEOPLE NEED EDUCATED ABOUT THIS HORRIFIC CRIME BEFORE THEY KNOW THEY CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

YOUR COMMENTS AND HEART ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Sometimes people need to see the "ugly" before they can get it. I hope this educates people and makes them angry enough to stand up and say NO!!! Thanks Phoenix

I saw a documentary on this recently-it was older-on PBS or Discovery can't remember and they were being chased away by the police and the fishermen...what an abomination. I'd want to see this and will be looking for it!If you can't talk about it because you've seen it you can't pass it on to people. Thx Phoenix.

I saw the trailer for this. It is really good. Ugly but good for people to see what is going on.

I have read alot about Louis Phihoyos creating the documentary 'The Cove', exposing what goes on during the darkness of night, in the sleepy lagoon off the coast of Japan in a village called Taiji. On the surface the village gives the impression of being a 'Dolphin Loving' community, when in reality Dolphins are brutally killed. The Japanese will do anything to keep what they are doing a secret. The documentary has been banned in Japan (surprise!!!). This is outrageous & the people of Japan have a right to know about the brutal killing of these dolphins, being sold as whale meat. It is toxic with mercury and they are feeding the meat to the people of Japan. The annual dolphin hunt in Taiji starts in September. But things appear to have changed after "The Cove," even before its Tokyo premiere. Earlier this week, 70 dolphins from this year's first catch were set free. I was elated. I am cautiously optimistic it's the start of good things for the Japanese people," Louis Psihoyos said.

I am praying that the negative publicity that 'The Cove' Documentary will cause to the village of Taiji, will put an end to the slaughter of these beautiful Dolphins & that the people of Japan will be told what is REALLY happening and that they will boycott any whale or dolphin meat sold in Japan.
