The Cove - Take Action

On our bellies, hanging off the bow, Mary and I watched dolphins effortlessly ride the bow wake. Two adults swam on each side of the bow. A baby, amazingly fast, darted in and out among the adults. Not able to match the speed of the adults the baby eventually peeled off and was immediately followed by one of the adults, its mother perhaps?

Three adults easily keep pace with the boat as one flips over on her back. Mary claps and shouts with delight as the dolphin shows off her skill at swimming upside down. Her belly is swollen, she is pregnant, and Mary instinctively reaches out her hand knowingly.

There is a mysterious bond between humans and dolphins. The Cove explores the dark side of that relationship, slaughter, and captivity. This is only one of many stories needing to be told, but a very important story, of a much larger problem. From over fishing of bluefin tuna to serving sushi whale meat in trendy restaurants, we humans are engaged in practices that are not sustainable, necessary, or in my opinion moral.

Who can listen to dolphins cry and not be moved? Watch the movie, visit the web site, and then choose to get involved.
