The Cove

The Cove
What would you do if you saw dolphins getting killed? The movie was about a town that seemed like it loved dolphins but it had a dirty secret. The movie really explained what was happening to dolphins in a town in Japan.

The movie was about a man that was trying to stop dolphins from being killed and being in captivity, but the man feels like he is the one who started dolphins going in to captivity because he is the one who started Flipper, the TV show. The town’s secret was the fishermen were driving dolphins into a secret cove and a bunch of trainers would wait for the dolphins and when they were there they would go and pick out female bottlenose dolphins but the dolphins that were not picked would get killed because the fishermen think that dolphins are eating too much fish that that they are fishing for. The meat of the dolphin would be sold but instead of the label saying it is dolphin meat it would say bigger type of whale meat because dolphin meat has a lot of mercury in it and mercury is very toxic.

In my honest opinion this is one of my favorite movies. Every scene in this movie really told why dolphins should not be in captivity. Also you have to see them in the wild to understand this and also dolphins should not be killed because of what the fishermen think.
