dolphin tears

"Dolphin Bay" is a documentary about human slaughter and capture of dolphins, a documentary about how humans cover up hunting, and a documentary about why humans cover up hunting.

One of the basic messages the recorders conveyed about dolphins is that they are not only intelligent, they are also conscious. Although they do not have human language, hands and feet, they can still express kindness and friendliness to humans. However, when the hunter drove the fishing boat, cornered the dolphin, and stabbed the dolphin with a stab, the blood stained the sea water, and the dolphin screamed and looked so helpless. When the dolphin trainer made the dolphin jump and make various difficult movements, the dolphin smiled, but it seemed so unreal.

Documenting all this is not an easy task. The recorder turns the camera on the stalkers and blockers. The local government followed day and night, the local fishermen rudely blocked, their provocative words and actions, and the rigorous search for the "crimes" of the recorders seemed to imply that hunting and killing was indeed a dirty and shameful activity. .

When a country or locality is faced with the temptation of huge profits, they hope to carry out the killing secretly to the end, and attach high-sounding reasons to the killing. Interest is above all else, and justice and humanity are trivial in the greedy pursuit of interest. I've been to SeaWorld Orlando and have been deeply moved by the Blue Whale show. At that time, what shocked me was not the wonderful diving and tossing of the blue whale, but the love for animals conveyed by the performance. In the performance, I showed a strong humanistic concern for nature and creatures, which made me start to love these lovely creatures in the natural world from the bottom of my heart at that moment. However, the recorders say that behind the performances are huge profits for the performers. These cetaceans have been under tremendous pressure during long-term performances and training, and even ended in suicide. The love expressed in the show is really ironic about the hurt behind the show. How hypocritical and absurd the theme park designers are teaching uninformed audiences. If the beauty that is built is based on the original intention and destruction that is not good, then in addition to the beauty itself, it may also be the belief in the pursuit of beauty.

The recorder seems to focus on the Japanese government, describing the Japanese government's support for the mass killing of dolphins with superb camera and video switching skills. However, hunting dolphins is a huge industrial chain, and the profiteers span countries and regions. In addition to Japanese fishermen and the government, businessmen who buy dolphins, sponsors of dolphin shows, and countries that receive financial support from Japan to support Japan's killing are not hunters? The promotion of each link has created endless slaughter and injury.

The hunter said that the dolphins are killed to maintain the biological chain of the ocean, and we are very kind, and a dolphin can be stabbed to death with a single shot. However, is human-made pollution disrupting the biological chain, or are dolphins disrupting the biological chain? In the documentary, the fishermen are not sharpshooters, and the dolphins are poked with holes. People from the Ocean Park said, look, we teach children to love nature from an early age through dolphin performances. However, they built their love on the pain of dolphins. When these massacres and injuries are packaged layer by layer and become reasonable and legitimate, the fallacy is not far from the truth.

The Cove quotes

  • Hardy Jones: Every cetacean known to man is endangered just by going anywhere near Japan.

  • Richard O'Barry: A dolphin in the right spot can make a million dollars a year. There's a lot of money in it. If you get in their way - and I get in their way - it can be very, very dangerous.
