- Ric O'Barry/The Cove
For O'Barry, the struggle began in 1960, when he ventured to train Kathy, the dolphin, which starred in the movie Flipper. As he states it in the award winning full-length documentary, The Cove, he spent ten years creating a multimillionaire industry and the rest of his life-time trying to dismantle what he could have never imagined would've happened: dolphin slaughters. If not killed by man, a dolphin can actually commit suicide.
This documentary was exceptional in solving my ignorance on dolphin slaughtering/baby-dolphin-pillaging. It also informed me on how organizations and governments are willing to risk for a bucket of extra-cash: both from the active and the passive parties.
So now eating sea fish or any other fish for that matter will be quite difficult in seeing that you could be basically eating almost anything: like dolphins! Cash in exchange for a country intoxicated by Mercury: it's such a tragedy (dolphin meat is very high in mercury); and in the middle, the dolphin suffers the constant beat of the hammer.
If you are ignorant, like I was, about what dolphins endure, then you must see this documentary. Get informed and know the truth.
The mission: I truly admire what O'Barry's team did in Japan. The mission was a success and if it were not for their effort, some hundreds of dolphin and this documentary would've been impossible to set free/create.
Save a dolphin! There are many ways to become an activist in saving these amazing mammals; and that's another great reason why you should watch this very well-made movie: understand that other creatures are as smart as we humans are.
