Are you vegetarian?

I saw this movie on pps and watched it because it was recommended by a classmate.
It was always shocking at the beginning, the blood stained the Dolphin Bay, which gave me a great visual impact. About 23,000 kills per year, each worth only 600 (forgot the unit), I even suspect it is yen. Exceeding the standard mercury content, they even forced students to eat it, I really don't know what word to use to call them. Afraid of defilement of animals.

Then there is reflection. The dolphin is dead, someone will pay attention and try to rescue it. What about other small fish and shrimp? Are they the damn thing? Or because they are so numerous that they are not worth protecting. Or, part of it is feeding, giving them life, which means you can control their death. An animal is a living thing. Ugh! So contradictory! The law of the weak, the law of nature, the survival of the fittest, the survival of the fittest. Or should we proceed from (part of) human nature. Now, on the surface, humans have won, and humans have become masters. What will happen in the future? Although the process is difficult to grasp, the results are predictable.

what to do? How to look at it is really difficult. I choose my humanity.

Hope you all can watch that movie.

    When Ric strapped the video of the slaughter of dolphins to his chest and broke into the OPS conference scene...my tears burst out...

    I cry and cry, but I always feel that there is a problem with the logic of banning dolphin killing.

The Cove quotes

  • Richard O'Barry: If you aren't an activist you're an inactivist

  • Richard O'Barry: The thing that turned me around was the death of Flipper, of Cathy. She was really depressed. I could feel it. I could see it. And she committed suicide in my arms. That's a very strong word, suicide. But you have to understand dolphins and other whales are not automatic air breathers, like we are. Every breath they take is a conscious effort. And so they can end their life whenever life becomes too unbearable by not taking the next breath. And it's in that context I use the word suicide. She did that. She swam into my arms, looked me right in the eye, and took a breath... and didn't take another one.
