"The Cove", the Academy award winning documentary we watched in class, has gotten a TV series. The film focused on a dolphin slaughtering operation in Japan, as well as the effects of mercury poisoning. The new animal planet series, "Blood Dolphins", focuses completely on O'Barry's efforts to stop slaughter of dolphins around the world. The first two episodes deal with dolphin slaughter in the Solomon Islands, and it looks like a great program for anyone who was interested in knowing more about what Ric does. Also, months after the documentary gained so much attention, the Cove was released from investigations, and the dolphin hunt has resumed. Ric is still very actively involved in stopping what goes on there.
Here is the show's website:
That is awesome that he is getting a show about dolphin slaughtering. It really opens peoples eyes about what is going on and how people dont try to stop it. Hopefully people will see it and try to raise awareness and stop it!
