Over 2,000 small whales and dolphins may be captured or killed annually. A variety of dolphin species are taken in a brutal process that can last for days.Over 3,500 copies of The Cove were delivered to households in Taiji, Japan.Take ActionWhale and dolphin meat is highly contaminated.Dolphin meat from the drive hunts, often mislabeled and sold as whale meat, contains mercury and PCBs, posing special risk to pregnant women and children.Many citizens in Japan are unaware of the dolphin hunts, and the health risks associated with consuming whale and dolphin meat. The Japanese government continues to subsidize these hunts which are tied to Japan s deadly whaling policies, perpetuating this inhumane and out-dated practice.The drive hunts support the global captivity industry.Although the majority of dolphins targeted in the hunts are killed and sold for meat, a growing number are taken from the hunts alive for marine parks.Hundreds of dolphins procured from the Taiji hunts are shipped to aquaria around the globe, primarily within Asia and the Middle East. China is the number one purchaser of wild-caught dolphins from Japan, but every captive facility ultimately fuels the continuation of this deadly supply and demand chain.A live dolphin procured from the drive hunts may have a price tag of $150,000 or more.Don't buy a ticket2010 Academy Award® Movie AwardBest Documentary Feature2010 Producers Guild of America AwardOutstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Pictures2010 Directors Guild of America AwardOutstanding Directing Documentaries2009 Sundance Film FestivalAudience Award U.S. DocumentarySeattle International Film FestivalGolden Space NeedleWe are a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) Public Charity.Tax ID 38-3891081CONTACT[email protected] 303-444-2454Oceanic Preservation Society, 336 Bon Air Center #384,Greenbrae, California 94904Expose the Truth.Protect the Planet.
