Cruel killings trigger human thinking

"Dolphin Cove" is a documentary about dolphins directed by Louis Seahoyos. It records a group of righteous, brave and upright animal lovers who do their best to save the entire population of endangered dolphins despite the obstruction of the government and fishermen. process. From the desperate cry of the dolphin, I sensed the infinite cruelty of human beings.

Dolphins are lovely friends of human beings. According to scientific research, they are intelligent beings with self-awareness. They can identify a lot of information through sound. These advantages can play a huge role in scientific and technological research in our society. But it is not only that, the dolphins swimming in the ocean have also rescued humans, which makes a magical sense of connection between humans and dolphins. However, in recent years, as people's love for dolphins has increased, the aquarium has gradually increased, and the demand for dolphins has also increased. For this reason, the whaling industry has also developed rapidly. Taiji Township is exactly that.

Under the camera, we can see that the No, Hai, and Tun districts are completely blocked, so that the cruel scene of hunting and killing dolphins is unheard of and unseen. Everyone only knows the dolphins disguised and smiling in the aquarium. When they walked down the street to interview Japanese citizens about the dolphin killing incident, they all showed surprised expressions and said that they had never heard of it, but who caused all this? It was the mass media that blocked the information, and the real power behind it came from the local government. Vigorously develop the whaling industry for the benefit of the country's economy. When they are opposed, they use sophistry for various reasons. When their own interests collide with external things, they can best reflect human nature. Sure enough, they abandoned the foundation of morality and chose former. For the sake of their own interests, they did not hesitate to hunt and kill dolphins in large numbers. When the blood stained the ocean, they still slaughtered each creature with a blank face. How hard their hearts are, they can do this. What is even more appalling is that fishermen send dolphin meat to the campus and the market, just to make a profit from it, to kill life by any means to achieve their own goals, to bury the truth, and even to chronically murder their own compatriots. , let us clearly see the sinister side of human nature.

But bad guys are in the minority, we are fortunate to see a group of people who love marine life at all costs to save lives. From their just and brave actions, we can see the true, good and beautiful side of human nature. Their respect and love for all living beings is a place worthy of human learning. Their sense of social responsibility and the spirit of justice have established their status at the highest peak in the world. When O'Barry held the video of killing dolphins to every delegate at the venue, I believe that everyone was shocked. The blood-colored ocean and the wailing of despair also made them feel pity from the bottom of their hearts. with resentment. However, during the meeting, small economic countries chose to support the Japanese view for their own interests, but never considered that this was a massacre of living beings and atrocities against nature.

"In the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good." Let us always firmly believe in the beauty and goodness of human nature, but when interests "invade", we sometimes take self-centeredness, harm others, benefit ourselves, and destroy nature, so we can't help but reflect. , whether their behavior is appropriate. When we truly comprehend the meaning of life, we will suddenly realize that we can support the harmony, peace and beauty of the world with our own meager strength.

    I cry and cry, but I always feel that there is a problem with the logic of banning dolphin killing.

The Cove quotes

  • 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.

  • Hardy Jones: Every cetacean known to man is endangered just by going anywhere near Japan.
