The film follows former dolphin trainer Ric O'Barry, who gained popularity in the 1960's for capturing and training dolphins who played the title character in the international television sensation "Flipper." But he admitted his life turned around when one of these intelligent creatures committed suicide in his arms by holding its breath while in captivity.

Donna's posts re The Cove and SeaWorld are beyond sad. To my shame... and I can only blame youth and inexperience for this... I once went to a whale/dolphin "show" in Hawaii... and never again. In spite of everything they did to make us believe these magnificent creatures enjoyed what they were doing, something inside me kept saying "No". From their point of view, a pond the size of a teacup is not home... far better to face the dangers of the wild ocean...

Dolphin roundup at Japan’s Taiji Cove puts spotlight on changing economics of hunts.
Over the weekend, Japanese fishermen from the village of Taiji drove an estimated 200-plus bottlenose dolphins into a local bay made notorious by the 2009 Oscar-winning documentary The Cove. Over the course of the weekend, some 51 were selected for sale and display in marine parks, according to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which monitors the Taiji hunt.

Why Blackfish is propaganda and an Animal Rights hit piece, not a "documentary" at all: http://seaworld.com/en/truth/truth-about-blackfish/ (http://seaworld.com/en/truth/truth-about-blackfish/)
There's a big difference between Animal "Rights" and Animal Welfare.
Too few people understand that difference :crying:
