Ed talked about this documentary at one of the LA shows I was at last fall (forgive me they all sort of blurred into one amazing trip). Anyway after he dedicated Amongst the Waves to the dolphins that night, I decided to watch this documentary. It was eye opening and very well done..... definately deserved the Oscar ..... if you havent seen this.... you should

i've swam with dusky dolphins in their environment off the coast of the south island in New Zealand and i don't doubt that flipper committed suicide ... these animals are not only intelligent but they have a passion for life ...

I watched that also, lets not forget they cut the ears off for the bull fighter after he stabbed it in the head. I also had to change the channel and I did not feel bad for the brothers at all. I could care less that his brother was rushed to the hospital, I say score one for the bull.
I will watch the cove but I have to talk myself into first.

Were humans, we grow back. Shall I kill you??? Have you seen the film? You realize there is no point to killing these animals? Right? Nice asshole comment :evil:
If you equate the killing of human beings with the killing of dolphins there really is no helping you.
Besides, thousands of salmon are murdered everyday and no one gives a poo about them (only cute animals win the Oscars).

i'm on your side
i did a debate once in the tenth grade about animal experimentation for cosmetic purposes and that was the grand rebuttle of the other team... God made animals for humans to use, says so and so in the bible. :roll:
Tell me something. Are you the fool that would debate a book in English class without having read it??
Watch the fucking movie before you comment in a thread about it otherwise you look like a complete idiot. Like your post equating them to salmon. That's one of the main points in the movie, we don't eat dolphin. These are senseless killings of a VERY intelligent animal.
Watch the movie. You may actually learn something.
I know.....and there was so much more in the film than just the slaughter of dolphins. Mercury levels in the large fish were scary. And some of the stuff in the film that showed how intelligent dolpins are. I also liked how they showed the corruption throughout those lower levels of Japanese government and that oceanic organization. Very good film.
Sushi chef charged with serving illegal whale
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/ ... TE=DEFAULT
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Federal prosecutors filed charges Wednesday against a sushi chef and a Santa Monica restaurant on allegations that they served illegal and endangered whale meat.
Typhoon Restaurant Inc., which owns The Hump restaurant, and sushi chef Kiyoshiro Yamamoto, 45, were charged with illegally selling an endangered species product, a misdemeanor.
According to a search warrant, marine mammal activists were served whale during three separate visits to the restaurant. Federal labs confirmed the meat came from a Sei whale, an endangered species protected by international treaties, documents said.
Agents also seized some suspected whale meat during a search of the restaurant Friday but are awaiting test results to confirm it was Sei whale, U.S. attorney spokesman Thom Mrozak said.
In October, two activists posing as customers went to The Hump and ordered "omakase," which means they let the chef choose the choicest fresh fish. They also requested whale and pocketed a sample.
The young women worked with Louie Psihoyos, director of the Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove," to record the meal with a hidden camera and microphone.
"These are endangered animals being cut up for dinner," Psihoyos said. "It's an abuse of science."
Psihoyos took their findings to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which started an investigation.
Activists claim the whale meat came from Japan's scientific whaling program and was illegally exported, but the U.S. attorney's office is still investigating the source of the meat.
Japan kills hundreds of whales in Antarctic waters each year under its research whaling program, which has triggered violent protests by conservationists and caused strong objections by diplomats in recent years.
An attorney for Typhoon, Gary Lincenberg, said the restaurant accepts responsibility for serving whale and will agree to pay a fine. If convicted, the company could be fined up to $200,000.
Court records say agents interviewed Yamamoto, a Culver City resident and a chef at The Hump for the past seven years, and he admitted serving whale to two young women.
Yamamoto's attorney, Mark Byrne, declined to comment on the charges, saying he hadn't had time to review them. If convicted, Yamamoto could face a year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
During the October restaurant visit, animal rights activist Crystal Galbraith, 27, and a friend who spoke fluent Japanese racked up a bill of $600, feasting on increasingly exotic dishes to gain the confidence of the waiters and chef.
"It was heartbreaking to eat an endangered animal, but I knew that I was doing it to save" the whales, said Galbraith, a vegan. "We were there eating for four hours. I felt so full and sick."
The waitress brought out a dish of whale sushi, identifying the whale in English and Japanese, court documents said. The dish was listed as whale on the check and cost $85.
The team sent samples to Scott Baker, a professor and cetacean specialist at Oregon State University's Marine Mammal Institute, for genetic testing. The results showed the meat was from a Sei whale, court records said.
The Sei whale is a baleen whale found throughout the world's oceans, and known for its graceful and quick swimming and its long, low vocalizations, Baker said. Fully grown, the mammal is longer than a bus.
Eating Sei whale meat is common in Japan, Korea and Norway and among native peoples in Alaska and Canada, but it is illegal to export the meat because of the Sei whale's endangered status.
In late February, when Psihoyos and the rest of his team were in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards, Galbraith and another friend returned to The Hump twice more.
This time, agents from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sat at the bar and watched Yamamoto at work, court records said. During the third visit, another agent watched the chef go to his car and retrieve a package wrapped in clear plastic.

You should really watch the movie. I'm not even mad at your lack of understanding in these posts. I'm just embarrassed for you. :oops:
What would happen if you were to round up thousands of german shepards and slaughter them with swords? How do you think the public would feel about you? Not environmentalists, the general public?

I would never condone such a thing but you have to admit rounding up thousands of german shepherds and hacking them with swords sounds kind of badass. Like maybe they are Nazi German shepherds ala Wolfenstein? Would that make it OK?
It would make a pretty kick ass 80's metal album cover too!
