Entry 7 -->The Cove

The sun rises and with it follows the wild dolphins. They gracefully leap out of the ocean; their cries can be heard from the shore, and the locals know what follows these horrific shrieks. It is in Taiji, Japan where one can hear these shrieks; Rick O’ Berry (a former dolphin trainer) discovered this underground trade that slaughter thousands of dolphins in hopes of selling their meat and teamed up with director Louie Psihoyos to develop the film The Cove. The Cove unveils the cover-ups and arrogance of people failing to take responsibility for the inhumane slaughter of thousands of dolphins every year. The Cove made me realize how many things can easily be hidden from the public, and if a person doesn't seek an answer for himself then he will never receive the whole truth.
