JAPAN BANNED DOCUMENTARY《THE COVE》

Cetaceans have lived in the ocean for 50 million years, and the dolphin, a member of the cetaceans, has always been a symbol of wisdom and kindness. There has never been a lack of stories about dolphins saving people in the ancient Greek era. Even be sentenced to death, but in the 21st century, in a hidden corner of the unknown, these sea elves are being brutally slaughtered, shocking the world, and they are still in progress... "Dolphin Bay" is introduced to we all know the truth hidden under the table

As early as 1964, "The Dolphin Story" premiered at all. Rick became the most prestigious German dolphin trainer. The five dolphins in the show were captured by Rick himself. He trained the dolphins to obey instructions through various methods. During the day and night, he found that the IQ of dolphins far exceeded human imagination. They even had the same feelings and self-awareness as humans. Rick once domesticated a dolphin named Casey, and he could really feel that Casey became very depressed. When life became unbearable, Casey chose not to breathe anymore, and eventually, he ended his life in Rick's arms.

Hearing is the first sense of dolphins. They use sonar to locate, hunt, and communicate emotions. The most advanced sonar system of mankind cannot be compared with them. Dolphins are extremely sensitive to sound. Hearing is their primary sense. The aquarium is noisy. The screams of the audience are mixed with the music of the audience. These noises are fatal to the dolphins. When "Baltimore National Aquarium" was first opened, the dolphins died one after another because of the noise of the filter system. This is also the main catch of dolphins in Taiji Town, Japan. The main method.

This explosion lasted from September to March of the following year. According to statistics, about 23,000 dolphins are slaughtered every year in Japan. When visiting the "Cetacean Museum" in Taiji Town, visitors can watch the dolphin show while eating dolphin meat. Like Taiji Town, in 1979, Iki City, Japan was also carrying out the brutal dolphin massacre until they drove the dolphins there to extinction. Now they can only buy the dolphins that they want to have a show from Taiji Town. Because there are no dolphins there, Taiji Town is repeating the same mistakes at this moment. When Rick learned of the atrocities in Taiji Town a few years ago, he vowed to save these slaughtered creatures, but with his own power, it is not easy to succeed.

There are fishermen patrolling around with knives in the nearby mountains. Once a reporter comes here with a camera, once a reporter comes to this place with a camera, they will be insulted by the locals, pushed and beaten even the BBC, The Times, and The Times. The weekly magazines returned without success. Whenever Rick came to the scene, someone would deliberately provoke him. Someone once killed a baby dolphin in front of him, with the purpose of angering him. If he couldn’t help but beat someone, then he would be caught. Hefei expelled. There are also threats that Rick will kill him if he exposes things here!

Rick bluntly scolded that IWC is a group of idiots, just like the protection of minors. It is often not the victims who are protected. Instead, the bad children who kill and set fire will be protected from heavy punishment. IWC does not protect whales. , But those who kill whales, and dolphins, which are small cetaceans, are excluded from the protection of IWC by IWC. As the most well-known pioneer and fighter of cetacean protection, Rick is permanently banned from attending the meeting by IWC. All this is unreasonable, but reasonable because the vice president of the IWC Association is the Japanese Morishita Sukeji as the spokesperson of the whaling country. He also happens to like to eat whale meat. It's still a black-box operation. Everything he did was to protect the interests of Japanese whalers. "IWC" banned commercial whaling in 1986 but allowed certain countries to catch whales for scientific research purposes. Japan is using this loophole to kill wildly. Various types of whales.

Rick gradually realized. IWC has been helping the abuser. It is nonsense to expect IWC to save the endangered whales and dolphins. They have to find another way. During a negotiation with Taiji town officials, the other party showed a map to prohibit them from going to those fighting. Red cross place. This map became a reference for their future actions. This hidden bay is a natural fortress. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and only connected by a few long and narrow tunnels. The road is set up with wire fences, especially during the dolphin hunting season. Deeply guarded.

Next, how will Rick O'Berry and his team rescue dolphins from Japan and reveal relevant information? What kind of challenges and dangers will they face? Foresee more, you can click 👉 Portal

This is our documentary hero, Richard O'Barry He and his team exposed the Japanese dolphin massacre in 2008, and the explosions there were made public. The bloody truth under the camera shocked the world. Rick’s work on dolphins can be said to be world-famous. He also rescued imprisoned dolphins without permission. He has been arrested and imprisoned several times. He also knows that what he is doing is dangerous. One of his female colleagues (Jane Tipson) was secretly murdered while preventing the sale of dolphins. However, Rick has long been fearless. For him, saving dolphins is a fate's redemption.

This incident greatly touched Rick, and from then on he regarded saving the dolphins as his life's work. It took him 10 years to create the industry of dolphin domestication. However, in the following 35 years, he tried his best to destroy it, because dolphin domestication gave birth to a multi-billion dollar industry. Driven by economic interests, humans want to fish for dolphins and then resell them to oceanariums around the world. Dolphins smile and jump, making you think they are happy. In fact, almost all dolphins caught by imprisoned suffer from excessive stress. Had a stomach ulcer. The ocean can jump freely, while the dolphins trapped in the concrete pool can only be used for entertainment.

Local fishermen drove hundreds of dolphins into the fjord by fishing boats. Each fishing boat would put a long rod into the water. They kept hammering on the head of the rod to form a sound wall. The dolphins swam in after being frightened. In the fjord, fishermen took the opportunity to put their nets to surround them. The next day all dolphin trainers would gather here. They only selected young female dolphins to bring back to the aquarium, and the selected dolphins would be trafficked to the world. Everywhere, Taiji Town is the world's largest supplier of dolphin entertainment, and a dolphin can sell for up to US$150,000. The Taiji Cetacean Museum serves as the middleman and the government in this interesting chain. The fishermen share the interests of the German community together, and the remaining dolphins that are not selected will be dragged to Dolphin Bay by the fishermen to be slaughtered. People can only see the dolphins. How to be captured but unable to see the scene of their slaughter.

The location of Dolphin Bay is extremely hidden, and Rick was even blacklisted by the local government. When you first entered the small town of Taiji, you would feel very strange. There are sculptures and paintings about whales everywhere, which makes people mistakenly think When this small town loves whales and dolphins, what they actually love is the meat of dolphins and whales and the money they exchange for these animals. Rick wore a mask and drove on the road in Taiji Town. However, after only a few minutes, they were followed. Rick admitted that if there is no way to kill, the people here will definitely kill him without hesitation.

The fjord where the dolphins were imprisoned was covered with barbed wire when his government disguised it as a "bird and beast sanctuary"

Rick has tried to rescue dolphins through formal channels, but those so-called animal protection organizations have inside stories. "Marine Mammal Symposium" is one of them. Originally Rick should be the keynote speaker of the conference, but just before the conference started. He was delisted by the sponsor and the sponsor was "Sea World". They relied on dolphin performances to make huge profits and warned Rick not to discuss the dolphin massacre in Taiji Town. In fact, there are many environmental protection organizations in Japan such as the "World Wildlife Fund". "The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), "Greenpeace" and so on. These organizations make millions of dollars each year, but in the face of the Taiji Town Massacre, they have all become dumb, and the only international organization in the world that protects cetaceans, the International Whaling Commission "IWC", is even bigger. joke.

A whale can bring about 16 million Renminbi in profits. Under the temptation of huge profits, they will not stop at all. And those whale meat that has been "scientifically" eventually flowed into the market and entered the Japanese after being served on the table. "IWC" had ordered the investigation of major incidents that affected the survival of dolphins, but it was opposed by the Japanese delegation, and the matter eventually fell through. The members shook hands and made peace. . .

Rick understands that only by forming a professional team can it be possible to expose the violence that occurred here. He found the chief module engineer of Industrial Light and Magic and asked him to make a fake rock with a high-definition camera inside the rock. They also got it. In order to install an underwater sound meter, they also found a world-class diving master.
