Its unreal. I have seen many different type of documentaries but I have never been able to say that any of them really moved me as much as this one. I just can't believe it. They round up thousands upon thousands of dolphins every year when they go through their traditional migration. They try to find the perfect "Flipper" bootlenose dolphin to sell to your "Seaworld" or aquarium. Once they find what they are looking for, the coral the rest of the dolphins and destroy them. I watched it and wasn't able to sleep the whole entire night due to complete anger.

I understand its years of tradition but they are trying to make the Japanese people aware of the mercury poisoning that is going on with all consumption of the dolphin meat. Once people start to realize this, they hope that the public will stop buying the meat, which in turn will not give these scum bags any reason to kill these animals. It's just awful. I just wanted to share my thoughts on it b/c we all fish and hopefully have an awareness with nature.
