Music/Movie the cove

the cove

not sure if this a repost but i know theres rarely any movie threads going on and this movie been release last year,anyways this past week my coworker told me to watch "the cove" and today i watch it and i cant believe how many dolphins is being sold all over the world and the left overs is killed everyday for a year and eating dolphin meat is very toxics and feeding it the school kids in taji and all over japan:superconf. instead of me spoiling all the goods,i recommend you watching this great,sad and madness documentary movie,go to any movie rental store and rent it.

I didnt think it was a movie? Yeah i saw a link on face book about it so i clicked it and ended up watching the whole thing, thats insane! Especially since dolphins are whales but arent protected by the IWC.

Dolphins aren't whales...

"They are in the same group of Cetaceans. That group includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises."

Get your facts straight, i dont mean thyre WHALES, but they are close enough to be considered whales. Google it.

You said it here, that they were. I know that they are all cetaceans, but they aren't whales.
