No profit leads to no extinction

The film is extremely shocking, with the director recording scene after scene of cruelty and hypocrisy with his own lens.

As the first line of the film begins, "I want to say, we did try to shoot this story through legal means." Legality has become the most convincing means to solve the problem at one time, and it has also become a pretext for the Japanese government to escape responsibility.

Dolphins were originally human partners and friends, but in the 1950s and 1960s, they became human toys, using performances to please human beings and laughing. What is even more frightening is that dolphins have become human table food. In Taiji, Japan, 23,000 dolphins are killed by Japanese fishermen every year, and their meat is sold all over Japan. The Japanese government used the words "this is our tradition" to prevaricate and try to resolve the problem through legal means.

I don't know if the way they used candid photography is in compliance with Japanese law, but officially they used it all to reveal the truth of the whole thing for us. I think the most terrifying part of the whole movie is not the scene of killing dolphins and dyeing the sea red, but what the representative of Japan said at the IWC conference: For example, in our country, the time to death is shortening every year. At present, most of the prey are killed on the spot. Yes, I am proud of the data and progress. I want to say proud of your sister, you are not dead in the end, what are you doing with the time of death, don't hurt them if you have one. Proud, it shows that the government has acquiesced in this behavior of killing dolphins. Once the government admits to allowing it, it shows that this behavior is legal, which is terrible.

The reason why this movie is said to be shocking is to say that the scene of dolphin slaughter is shocking, and there is indeed a bloody slaughter scene in a beautiful bay. Of course, the soundtrack of the movie also gave the movie a lot of tension and heaviness. I like the last part of walking into the venue with the TV behind my back. With the addition of the soundtrack, it is particularly shocking and full of tension, even more so than the last part of "Horror Live". to stand out.

One of the interesting things in the film is that dolphins are not listed as protected objects in the IWC, but dolphins are also cetaceans. It is puzzling that the Japanese government has legalized the dolphin fishing industry in this way. Of course, the Japanese government will further legitimize by bribing other countries to vote against his country.

Of course, there is not a nation in the world that loves whales and dolphins as much as Japan does. In China, countless live bears are taken for bile every year. Profit is king.

How many animals are left homeless in so many zoos in the world. Just like buying and releasing fish on the street, it seems like a good intention, but it is actually supporting the catching of fish. Please forgive me when I went to Wuhan Zoo last week. I will think about it next time. Although it only costs 15 yuan for the entrance fee, how many animals will be homeless and die in this cage for life, and it is not fun.

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.
