UNLESS YOU STOP IT

It has been 4 years since the movie THE COVE was released. I believe that as long as people who have watched the documentary, it is not difficult to know from the film that Richard Berry started this event far more than 4 years ago, maybe 3 times or 5 times the 4 years.
Compared with the bloody bay, I am more concerned about Richard. You are nearly 70 years old, are you still watching that bay with all your anger, including your own life, and you are still standing on the streets of Shibuya, shocking people Are you ignorant, are you still persevering in the 24-hour threat tracking, are you still alive after wiping away the tears in your wrinkles after decades of exhaustion and helplessness? Any companions?
The irony is that watching your documentary gives me a little comfort that your documentary can't save the more intelligent creatures you protect with your life, but at least it can temporarily delay the Japanese government's assassination of you after it airs. time, though the sacrifices of you and your companions are so feeble against the mighty interests. The existence of OPS cannot prevent them from obtaining benefits, but only unveils the veil of civilization that was originally supreme and flawless. Of course, I believe that no matter how long the film is on the air, they can still kill you at any time in a thousand ways and ten thousand reasons, as easily as the sponsors gently deleted your name from the speaker list, no Hard work.
4 years have passed, I am concerned about your safety, you said, "If I had known that I would lose the current amount, I would have worked harder to save money to buy them and then release them, but the past I, just buy a Porsche every year, I used to be so ignorant"
You're also one of those thousands of dolphin trainers, and you're so well-known and so good that you're in a movie about dolphins all over the world After all over the world, when people's love and demand for dolphin performances around the world are at their peak, you can create huge income through your network and professional ability. It is easy for you to use dolphins to gain both fame and fortune. Maybe You'll also take away a whole bunch of auras. You didn't do that, you spent half your life preventing this from continuing. But what you are fighting against is a country separated by thousands of miles that you cannot fight against personally. In the face of huge interests, this country does not welcome you. It uses its interests to win over other island countries, hostile to you, threaten you, encourage you, frame you, as long as When given the chance, they can make the little you disappear forever.
The thing that moves me the most is when you say Casey "I know what their every move means, I've cared for sick dolphins, I know their body movements, and I'm determined to do it because of Casey. I was touched by her death. She committed suicide in front of me. The reason why I say suicide is because dolphins are self-conscious animals. You must know that their breathing is different from that of humans. They do not breathe spontaneously like humans. , they are selective self-conscious breaths, which means they can end their lives the next second if they want. I looked at Kathy the other day and she swam into my arms like that and made eye contact with me Then she took a breath, then she stopped, her stomach turned upside down and she didn't move, and after that I was arrested for trying to release the dolphin."
The noun you use when you say Kathy is "she", just like you keep emphasizing that dolphins are self-aware animals like humans, and we know exactly what we're seeing when we look in the mirror. I believe that anyone who has seen the documentary will refuse to go to the dolphin show again. In fact, I have always disapproved of any form of animal performance for profit. As Richard said "In my lifetime I have to see the end of it all, if we can't stop and correct what's here, let's not try to solve the bigger problems, all hope will be gone"
Indeed, if Humans can't correct their values ​​with this change, so humans don't need to talk about any other issues at all, because it's absolutely putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse. For thousands of years, truth and wisdom have always been obscured by ignorance, unaware that the acquisition of benefits must be based on the premise of prioritizing nature, and people have always pushed aside the temporary torrent of huge profits by natural selection. But there is still no foresight and ignorance, but human beings do not take it seriously.
I think after watching the documentary, if you only hear people's hatred and abuse of Japan once more, it will really disgrace the original intention of Richard and his companions who used their lives to record this documentary. Not just a small Taiji town in Japan, not just people who like to watch dolphin performances in aquariums or other animal performances for profit, not only the only way for dolphin migration in September every year, It's not just profit that makes it bloody, it's not just Dolphin Bay, it's not just a Richard, it's not just an OPS.
The tip of the iceberg is already shocking and all kinds of scenes are being staged all over the world. How many centuries will these scenes be reincarnated before I can realize in the dried tears that what I cry is not those dolphins in the sea of ​​blood, but our self-righteousness. Sad human, human wisdom has disappeared.

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.
