-LET'S KICK SOME NUTS-

Had a class gathering yesterday.. but since i ended school early and i was only supposed to meet yun xin at 6.. i went to watch a movie first.

watched "The Cove"

It's a film about the killing of 20,000 and more dolphins and porpoises in Taiji, Japan every year! :( i cried during the movie, it's just too painful to watch.

When it starts you dont know what to expect.

But as you keep watching, you realise that the group of people are trying to discover the secret of the cove, which is the place where the japanese fishermen kill the dolphins by stabbing them.

It's not easy to film near the cove cause the fishermen will shout at you and push you and block you from going anywhere near or anywhere where you can see the killing. they block off the roads and they just allow people to watch them chasing the dolphins into the shallow waters. The next day dolphin trainers will choose their ideal dolphins to be shipped to aquariams or oceanariams around the world. and the remaining one? They are killed in "the cove" and the meat is sold. sometimes the meat is passed off as whale meat and innocent people who dont know that it's dolphin meat they are indirectly eat contaminated food as dolphin meat is high in mercury content which is poisonous.

For the crew to have filmed this film, they took a lot of risks to not get caught by the japanese and what the fishermen do is actually covered up by the government itself.

If everyone would just watch the movie, im sure you would have felt what i felt.

The need to stop and prevent the killing and the need to spread the word around for more people to know and to force the japan government to shut down the business.

Tears of sadness will just flow from within and you just feel that what the people are doing is not right at all.

Anyone who wants to know how they can do their part to stop the killing can go visit the website to find out more: http://www.takepart.com/thecove
