Well Ive not been moved by an animal welfare documentary quite like after watching this last night.

anyone else get involved? Apart from the brutality and lack of humanity in the senseless killing of dolphins, the night vision cameras they used were incredible.

The overhead shots showing the colour of the sea whilst the slaughter was taking place was stomach churning hurl

Was quite impressed with how high-tech the OPS outfit was, with all their infrared cameras, clandestine sneaking tactics and the such like.

I was almost tempted to turn off in the first hour as I found it quite shocking. Glad i stayed to with it even when it got worse.

I really do not like those 'fishermen'. Shame no one can drop an atom bomb on them.

I just hope something actually gets done and that the majority of japan stands up and says no.

Not often I find it hard to watch something to the end. This was pretty brutal stuff.

In a strange way I found the capture for sale as, if not more disturbing than the slaughter.
I had always assumed that sea parks would breed their own stock and captive dolphins were always captive.

The herding method was disgusting.

The political tactics to promote whaling were disgusting.
