The Cove :: Advance Screening of Taiji Dolphin Slaughter
I just watched an advance screening of The Cove in South Beach. The only reason I was there was because it was free. I hadn’t heard of the investigative journalism film before, nor had I heard of the subject matter.
Now I’ve been exposed, and I’ll never be the same.
Dolphins, precious descendants of my beloved Flipper, are being killed like sardines between September and March in Taiji Cove.
Some call it Kill Cove.
Ruthless Japanese fishermen with zero foresight and serious cigarette problems bleed these cetaceans to death, and it has nothing to do with their culture, their tradition.
Meanwhile, Mr Joji Morishita, the Japanese Commissioner at the IWC [International Whaling Commission], plays the quintessential villain with his effete hair, stylish eye glasses, and a litany of lame excuses that fail to justify the actions of his murderous fishermen.
Mammals are being slaughtered here, not fish but mammals just like you and me with high intelligence and an acute sense of self-awareness.
