Documentary THE COVE Exposes Secret Slaughtering of Dolphins

Dolphins are secretly slaughtered each year in a hidden cove in Taiji, Japan. The Japanese government covers it up. No one could get in. The Cove exposes an atrocity of unimaginable brutality to a beautiful creature scientists say could be smarter than us.

Barred access to the site, the film crew (which includes most notably the man who trained Flipper, Richard O’Barry) was forced to utilize covert military tactics and equipment, including thermal heat sensors and the help of two world-class free divers, to accomplish their mission.

Like other cetaceans, dolphins appear capable of such high-level cognition that in some ways they might be considered people.

“The cove is like a fortress. It’s protected on three sides by steep cliffs. To get in, you need to go through a natural tunnel system that’s protected by a dog and a sensor. Ric said you’d need a Navy SEAL team to get in there. I said that I didn’t know any Navy SEALs, but I did know Mandy-Ray Cruickshank,” said Psihoyos.

    • If we don't kill all of them before we kill ourselves, they might take care of the world far better then we. Mainly because they don't have hands like us that FUCK EVERYTHING UP.
