The Cove

The documentary was very informative. It showed me how mean people could be to animals. I think that this was a very good way of getting the cause attention. The Cove had exciting scenes of the activists trying to get photos and videos of the way they were treating the dolphins. It kept my attention more then most other documentaries. In this blog I will tell you the reasons why I think this documentary was incredibly important to the protection of dolphins.

First, the inhumane slaughtering of dolphins, without people knowing is a huge problem! I feel that the government should be preventing this instead of supporting it. Also that they slaughter so many without people knowing, in a hidden cove! This is why getting proof of the slaughter was so vital to help dolphins because it got people more aware of what is going on right under their nose.

Second, they sold the dolphin meat as whale meat. Dolphin meat has high mercury in it because it there is a lot of pollution in the ocean. When consumed by a human, this can cause fatal illnesses and diseases that can spread throughout the population. This is unacceptable because it is inhumane to both dolphins and humans because of diseases for the humans and slaughtering dolphins.

To conclude, I feel that the slaughtering of dolphins is unacceptable. The government is hiding it and the population of Japan has no clue whats happening right under their nose. Also that the government is supporting the hidden dolphin meat in whale meat packaging even though it is toxic to humans. SAVE THE DOLPHINS!!
