The Cove


2. Where is the dolphin slaughter taking place?
A: Taiji, Japan

6. What country indirectly runs the International Whaling Commission?
A: Japan

8. How do the fisherman trap the dolphins in the cove?
A: The method is called the "drive hunt". Fishing boats form a barrier that traps the dolphins between the boats and the cove. The fishermen then lower a stick-like material into the water and knock on one end of it. This produces sounds within the water that is perceived by the dolphins. This sound barrier scares the dolphins and forces them towards the cove.

12. What toxic substance is found in dolphin meat?
A: Mercury

23. If you go to Marineland are you contributing to dolphin slaughter?
A: Yes. By paying to watch dolphins, I am sending the message that I support the industry. Although my decision matters little, it is from little things that great changes are made. As long as people are ignorant of the indirect slaughter of dolphins through captivity, they will continue contributing to the industry, which goads it into expanding and thriving.
