The heartbreaking 2009 documentary The Cove exposed the horrific annual slaughter of hundreds of dolphins in Taiji, a picturesque Japanese inlet. Activists hoped that worldwide pressure, outrage and protests would end the killings, but a TV series premiering this week shows that the brutality continues. Blood Dolphins was created by former dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry and his son Lincoln as part of their crusade to halt the annual massacre of over 20,000 dolphins.
Dolphins are highly intelligent, self-aware, complex creatures that should swim free without the threat of slaughter or captivity, Ric Barry notes.”The most important thing I can do, that my son can do, is show the world through projects like Blood Dolphins just how threatened dolphins are so we can all do something about it.†A former dolphin trainer who “saw the light”, Richard O’Barry is part of Earth Island Institute’s Marine Mammal Team, which campaigns to protect dolphins, whales and other ocean mammals worldwide.

Don’t forget, folks. Dolphins have been HEROES of the sea towards our species. There are COUNTLESS stories of them saving humans during times of war or after ships have sunk. Pods of dolphins will get between humans and sharks and our species repays them with this kind of activity? WTF?!! All I can say is “How?!!!” and “Why?!!!” when faced with this brutal choice to slaughter dolphins. It is just plain evil…. PERIOD.
I’m a Navy veteran and I consider the slaughter of dolphins after they have proven to be our saviors at sea to be worthy of an ass kicking at the very least, and actually worse consequences considering the motivation behind this ridiculous assault on a beautiful, intelligent, loving mammalian species that protects humans from predators when we need them at sea without our having to ask.
