Save the dolphins
In 2009 a group of people whose passion was to protect marine life, decided to film a documentary
called The Cove and expose the cruel practice of killing dolphins in Japan. They hoped that
eventually this activity would getbanned . In Japan, dolphin habitats are 3destroyed for their meat,
which is used in school lunches. The dolphins that survive are taken from their natural environment
and used in ‘swim with dolphins’ shows.
The documentary follows a group of activists who support animal rights and especially the freedom
of these mammals. They use hidden cameras, microphones embedded in rocks and the skills of free
divers to show the cruelty against these animals. As a result of the documentary, the number of killed
dolphins has been reduced, but it will still take some time before it goes down to zero.
