Anyone who plays in the ocean has a "dolphin story"... that time they shared the water with dolphins, perhaps surfing, snorkelling, diving or swimming.  For anyone this has happened to, it leaves an impression which lasts a lifetime.  Dolphins truly are amazing creatures and bring joy to people the world over.

I saw "The Cove" movie last night and am still in shock.  It exposes one of the most shocking things I've seen in many years.  In a small town in South Eastern Japan called Taiji an estimated 23,000 dolphins are sold and killed from September to March each year.  Here's the trailer so you can see what it's all about.

Check out their website at http://www.savejapandolphins.org/ - there is some good news to this story... I believe the dolphin slaughter hasn't started yet this year due to the pressure on the Japanese govt by this movie!!

Support their cause!
