There is a bay called "Taiji" in Japan. Because of the large-scale killing of dolphins by local fishermen, it has become a world-famous "slaughterhouse". The director of the documentary "The Cove" specifically aimed at this phenomenon was filmed by the director of "The Cove". Pishos, found Ric O'Berry, who was behind the production of the TV and movie versions of "The Dolphin's Tale", and he is also the most authoritative dolphin sound scientist in the world, and he boldly kills The dolphin industry has blatantly protested. So I went to Taiji in Japan with Obari.
Want to enter a well-protected secret bay with dangerous terrain for field shooting, so Louis Pishos brought good friends, Canadian diving champion Mandy Ray Kruksek and diving instructor Keco Clark, let them help secretly install cameras and listeners underwater. Together with a camera assistant, they created a fake rock that can hide a high-definition camera inside. Then there is an electrician expert who provided a high-speed horsepower system to keep the camera running at maximum, and he also made an unmanned remote-controlled aircraft model.

John Potter: It sometimes amazes me that the only language which has been extensively taught to dolphins is a version of American Sign Language, which, of course, you use your hands, so you have all these wonderful signals, and people use their hands to give messages to dolphins. And this somehow kind of misses the point because dolphins don't have hands, so this is inherently a very one-way process. And it's this anthropomorphic, "We have something to teach them or control them," and perhaps we ought to be looking at what they can give to us.
