What does Dolphin Bay give us?

A very realistic documentary, the bloody and straightforward opening makes people feel a sense of fear, cruel and real. The large-scale hunting objects of Japanese whaling ships, dolphins and whales, use cruel sonic noise to make dolphins lose their hearing and take the opportunity to drive them into fishing sites. Sharp hooks brutally killed dolphins and gave these fish meat containing heavy metal substances to Japanese elementary and middle school students. Many people still eat blindly when they get sick. It's not that I have a prejudice against the Japanese nation. They have been cruel and concealed from everyone in the world, and secretly started dolphin hunting there. If there were no foreigners who took the risk to film the whole process, maybe this crime would have been evaded and concealed by them again and again. I hope they can learn a lesson and not be too cruel. This documentary is very educational and suitable for elementary and middle school students to watch.

    A powerful film, but the subject matter is very immature. The bottom line of this film is to appeal to: 1. Oppose the killing of dolphins? (Just because dolphins are intelligent creatures? So livestock, poultry, and crops with lower intelligence deserve to be chopped up as human food?) 2. Oppose the inhumane killing of dolphins? 3. Oppose eating poisonous dolphin meat? 4. Or something else?

The Cove quotes

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

  • Richard O'Barry: A dolphin in the right spot can make a million dollars a year. There's a lot of money in it. If you get in their way - and I get in their way - it can be very, very dangerous.
