I was recently browsing around in my old emails and i am apart of the fight to save the japan dolphins. So I got an email with a link to an article Titled "Get educated" I started reading it and it brought me to tears, just like the movie "The Cove". Which if you feel as passionate about animals and thier rights as I do I strongly suggest you watch this movie its pretty powerful and moving. This article was talking about the dolphins in Taiji, Japan that are brutally murdered every september. I don't feel like as many people are aware of this as the should be and I really think we need to spread the word. Every year for six months dolphins are driven into what is called the cove in japan, either fishmen go out and drive them into the cove or the dolphins swim in themselves. But either way the cove is a trap for all doplphins and once they enter the cove as much as it pains me to say this they don't leave. The murders simply think that dolphins are pests and a nuisence. Once all the six month build up of dolphins reach the cove that september they are brutally killed. Some may be saved for captivity and or for zoos, dolphin shows, and what most of the japense population doesn't know is that the rest is used for a small minority of meat. Research has shown that dolphins are highly intellgent creatures know when you think of a dolphins the word pests certainly doesn't come to mind. Taiji japan has dolphins statues figurines and is made to look like a dolphin loving city, but it real life its a dolphins worst nightmare. The fishermen say they kill the dolphins "quickly and humanley" now is there such a thing? The method they use to kill dolphins is soo unbelievable you have to wittness it yourself, and once those images are seen by the naked eye they will never leave your head, i know it hasn't for me. Because of the movie "The Cove" its made me want to fight like hell to do anything in my power to help these dolphins.

I know for a fact that I could NOT watch that movie. I could barely make it through The March of the Penguins, and that wasn't even about abuse. I'm going to check out your website. Thank you for the provocative post.
