Dolphins

The Cove


For real this was probably the saddest movie I ever seen. Before watching this i knew nothing about dolphins other than the lived in the ocean, swam, performed tricks, and had a football team in Miami. What I found irritating the most was how the Japanese people were so aggressive about not letting them film anything or take pictures and trying to keep what they were doing a secret. This movie made me feel bad for going to sea world thats for sure, I didn't know that dolphins get depressed and stressed out doing that they seem happy, I don't remember they guys name but i salute him. He said he spent ten years building the business of training dolphins and the last 35 trying to destroy it.  The fact that he went through all the hassle of acquiring a team of people to catch what the Japanese people were doing to the dolphins was outstanding. Getting trained deep sea divers, camera men, prop makers, and people down for the cause was awesome to watch. Seeing the final outcome of the footage though mad me upset, like how these people could just harm these dolphins for no reason at all, killing them just to kill them, making them suffer for absolutely no reason at all and felling zero guilt. This video gave me a different outlook on dolphins because it was all true and all in front of my eyes. Seeing the reaction on everyones face when they guy walked into that conference with a tv strapped to him showing the actual footage of what was happening to these dolphins was needed, you can tell that they had no idea this was going on and that they were disgusted with it. In my opinion everything this guy did was right, he felt a connection with these dolphins and showed that they are affectionate and very smart and have feelings as well. All he wanted to do was save them and shed light on what was really happening and try and put a stop to it for good. When it comes to putting a stop to sea world i fell that it can never happen, sea world is up there with things like disney land and universal studios. Sea world has such a popular fan base and following that it wouldn't shut down, it makes so much money and there is always going to be people who travel to places just to visit sea world and see the animals perform.
