The Showing of "The Cove" in Taiji Japan

As you know the documentary "The Cove", is being shown in Taiji. A lot of the movie theatre owners feel threatened, and offended. In no way they should feel this way. This isn't there fault, just because it's happening in their country doesn't mean we should put labels on the Japanese people. In Canada we slaughter seals, and this isn't the doing of all of Canada, it's a certain group of people. I think it's offensive that the Japanese movie theatre owners don't want to show "The Cove" in their theatres. That just shows you don't care about what's happening in your own country. You should feel proud that you're standing up for what you believe in. Don't feel ashamed. Because change is good, and it only needs to start with one person. Some movie theatres have even banned showing the documentary just because it makes their country look bad. I would much rather show the people of Japan what is happening, rather then keeping it a secret, because one day it will come out.

One Perspective

I swim carelessly through the cold but crisp ocean water
Looking through the clear water staring at what's ahead of me
And there's nothing there
This is very comforting, in a way
Not to have fear of what's ahead of you, to welcome your future
But what I was welcoming, I knew after
I could never ever take it back
As the rush of water flows by my sleek body
I jump out of the water, gathering air from the clearing sky
Though the sun was shining, and the birds chirping
I felt a sudden rush of death and blackness
Something didn't feel right
I knew I should of turned back and went the other way
But my instincts told me to keep going
I guess the saying "curiosity killed the cat " is true
A thundering boom intruded my ears
Repeating itself over and over and over
I swam
Trying to escape the horrifying sound
I tried one way then it still was to loud
I went another way, but it still got louder
Soon I found myself amongst a bunch of other panicking dolphins
I was scared
I can't put my mind to what that feeling felt like
Almost as if it was like being inside a horror movie
That you knew that the ending wouldn't be a good one
So I tried to escape from the nightmare
But I failed
I felt like I was drowning in my tears........
Finally the banging stopped, but I tried to swim away
But I couldn't
There was a barrier blocking my escape
Almost as if this was planned
It was getting very crowded, and I was getting very scared
Soon a different mood set
death
Sharp pointed stick were continuously jabbed into the water
Into the fearful dolphins
There lives were being ripped away from their grasp
And they couldn't reach out for anyone
Blood filled that small body of water
That's all I was surrounded by
An empty pool of blood
I felt a piercing pain in my back, I tried to swim away
But then I smelt my blood, my blood
I tried to look ahead of me, to see the brilliant blue of the ocean
But all I saw was the vibrant red of the ocean
I don't want to die, I really don't
Somebody, anybody
Please just help me.

The Cove

Thousands upon thousands of dolphins are killed each year in Taiji, Japan. Though the solution seems very simple and clear, nothing is being done. The murdering of thousands of helpless souls takes place in Japan, in the remote town of Taiji every single year. The sad thing is that nobody knows about this, except for a small group of people and the government. This is a huge secret for such a little town. And it has to be exposed soon, before we say goodbye to yet another creature we have killed. The thing that opened my eyes to such a terrible travesty was the documentary "The Cove." I cannot thank you enough for making this movie and sharing with the world whats going on. If it weren't for these activists I don't think I would of ever heard about this. That's what's really sad to me. I had NO idea about this issue, until a month ago. I haven't forgot about it since. In the documentary it showed the slaughter of dolphins. It showed the spears piercing skin of trapped dolphins, the ringing screams of helpless souls, and the ending of thousands of lives. You know what really pissed me off about this? It was the Japanese fishermen, they were probably one of the most ignorant people I have ever seen. I wanted to physically punch them in the face. They got all up in the faces of the activists, just because they didn't want them to film. Hmmm, that seems a bit fishy.....Why wouldn't you want somebody filming your beautiful town? Why not film the beautiful blood that fills the water, and the beautiful screams of pain, and the beautiful smell of death? Huh, doesn't seem so beautiful does it? The activists asked citizens about this, and NOT one knew what was going on. That's a great government, one that lies. I would just love to live their. I don't understand how you can kill something we such ease, no remorse or pain. What was really interesting was that they had dolphin and whale statues everywhere. Claiming they love dolphins and whales. One of the activists stated that "it was like walking into a Stephen King movie", and you know what he was wrong. It's even worse. A Stephen King movie has a purpose, it was made that way, it was directed, meant to happen. This hell was not meant to happen, it doesn't have a place, it doesn't have anything. These people are garbage in my eyes. They are worthless, meaningless, just a waste of skin. I don't care if it's the money you need to make. It doesn't matter. You're just a bunch of worthless humans, that have no life. The day will soon come when you get what you deserve, and when that day does come I hope it kills. I hope it kills like the spears you willing jabbed into dolphins. I hope it never ever stops hurting.
