Stream 'The Cove' on Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime

The Issue

From September - March every year, at the cove in Taiji, Japan, there is a culling of dolphins. Many learned about this horrible "tradition" from the 2009 award-winning documentary 'The Cove'. This documentary focuses on the culling of dolphins using inhumane practices where dolphins are slaughtered for their meat or the more attractive dolphins taken into captivity. These highly intelligent and social creatures, who spend a lifetime with the same pod, are stolen from the ocean never to see their family or swim free in the ocean again. I think it's time a new generation was shown what takes place in Taiji. With the 2021 Olympics taking place in Tokyo, all eyes will be on Japan this year and it would be a good time to remind the world of the animal abuse and cruelty that continues to take place in Taiji year after year.
