[Highly recommended movie] "The Cove"

In Wakayama Prefecture in the southernmost part of Honshu Island, Japan, there is a small village called "Taiji Town", facing the Pacific Ocean and with towering cliffs on three sides. The town of 5.96 square kilometers is home to about 3,600 residents, about 1/3 of whom are engaged in fishing. On the surface, the town flaunts its love for cetaceans (dolphins are whales): there is a smiling whale model in the center of the town, the ferry is decorated in the shape of a dolphin, there are anthropomorphic dolphin images printed on the stone slabs on the ground, and there is a temple dedicated to whale spirits in the town... It is packaged like a theme park. However, behind the scenes, there is a murderous intention. During the Edo period in the early 17th century, fishermen in Taiji Town invented the spear whaling method, and Taiji Town, the "Whale Town", became the birthplace of Japan's traditional whaling method. In modern society, whaling is an important source of income for local residents. In 1986, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) issued a ban on commercial whaling, but a year later, "limited whaling for research purposes" still existed, and Japan's killing of dolphins and small whales tripled. Every year, an average of 23,000 dolphins are "legally" killed by Japan. In the small town of Taiji alone, more than 1,500 dolphins have to be "processed". Currently, there are approximately 80 aquariums in Japan, and nearly half of them house cetaceans. Captured dolphins usually die within two years. The dolphins that were not selected became the citizens' dinner. 5,000 tons of dolphin meat appeared on the Japanese market, but most ordinary citizens would never have thought that they had eaten dolphin meat because the packaging said it was whale meat. The footage captured completely shocked the photography team. After the massacre started, the blue-green sea water instantly turned into a striking red. I watched the children and parents being slaughtered with my own eyes. The screams of the dolphins disappeared, leaving only the jokes of the Japanese fishermen. The corpses of the dolphins floated up and down in the water... Netdisk download, you can also watch directly on the Internet
