"The Cove"
Is a 2009
documentary film that analyzes and questions dolphin hunting practices in
Japan. It was awarded the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2010.
The film is a call to action to halt mass dolphin kills, change Japanese
fishing practices, and to inform and educate the public about the risks, and
increasing hazard, of mercury poisoning from dolphin meat. The film is told
from an ocean conservationist's point of view. The film highlights the fact
that the number of dolphins killed in the Taiji dolphin drive hunting is
several times greater than the number of whales killed in the Antarctic, and
claims that 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed in Japan every year by the
country's whaling industry. The migrating dolphins are herded into a cove where
they are netted and killed by means of spears and knives over the side of small
fishing boats. The film argues that dolphin hunting as practiced in Japan is
unnecessary and cruel
