Good News, 1, 2, 3!!!

1) Copies of the 2010 Oscar-winning film "The Cove" has been delivered free to the residents of the town of Taiji (where the film takes place), compliments of the director, Louie Psihoyos. According to an article by The Huffington Post, Psihoyos stated that, "the film dubbed in Japanese was delivered via regular mail over the weekend to all households, with the help of a local group called People Concerned for the Ocean".
The full article can be found here.

2) According to "Cove" monitors (those who watch over The Cove, and what happens during this difficult time) it appears that the slaughter season may be over in Taiji, Japan. Usually, the season runs from September 1st- the end of March. The demand for dolphin and whale meat has declined 30%. The word is getting out. However, the trafficking of dolphins and whales for captivity has gone up in Taiji- (selling dolphins for a life in captivity). Please refer to Rick O'Barry's blog for more info on this matter. You can read his blog here. 


  Here I am, Ready to Go!

3) "The Cove" is now also available to watch dubbed in Japanese through the movie's main webpage, FOR FREE. What an exciting opportunity. To watch "The Cove" (in Japanese) please click HERE!
