Last time, I wrote a blog The Ugly Japanese which revealed some ugly aspects of Japanese. But after watching the movie The Cove, I realize what I wrote was not ugly enough at all. It’s a really true and proved fact that thousands of dolphins are being killed cruelly in Taiji of Japan. In some scenes, fishermen took a baby dolphin up and cut its throat pretending to help it fulfill its life. What’s more hatable is those engaged happily in capturing and slaughtering flippers never acknowledge the fact but scold and force tourists away who want to find some evidence in the cove. The fishermen get right in tourists faces and show the brutish facial expression. Many people are arrested for trying to free some captive dolphins. Some animal rights activists are even murdered over dolphin slave trade. Some nice-voice dolphins are sent to the ocean park around the world where the noisy pools do not fit dolphins at all, and those left are all killed and cut to sell meat.
We have some of the same physiological traits that whales, seals, and dolphins have. We’re all air-breathing mammals. They live in the water while we live on land. That’s all. But when we see the mind-boggling scene that the whole cove is filled with blood and horror scream, we cannot believe it is a fact that many dolphins are killed right now at some place in the world by our mankind’s hand. They’re doing it exactly like they did with large whales---slaughtering every one they can get. After the truth was exposed, some officials of Deputy of Fisheries for Japan were fired. The whole world realized it’s time to take actions to stop it. We can see there is still hope for dolphins’ future unless we all come and against those ugly Japanese! The main character in this documentary film claims that he must see this end in his lifetime. I also hope to see the end just in the near future. Still, the Taiji dolphin slaughter begins every September unless we stop it! At last, the film shows go to the following websites to support stopping it; yes, we can!

I saw this video from HanLe. I don't like Japan at all. Not only because what they have done to China but also what they are doing at this moment. I know that some people who claimed to report the news have been killed by government. I don't know how to explain my angry.
ReplyDeleteI have already thought this question for a long time. I think it is really a tough task for humans to handle. Everyone knows it is not good or moral to kill animals for eating or for money. However, the population is larger and larger in the world. Many people need to eat meat because i dare say few people are willing to be a vegetarian. Sometimes when we eat chicken, we seldom think about this question. In my opinion chicken are equal to dolphins. Anyway it is really a hard work to handle it. I am still appreciate what you mentioned very much.
