documentary on the Taiji killings of dolphins

- title of documentary: The Cove
-Author: Mark Monroe
- people suspect that in the Taiji cove there are illegal dolphin slaughters and they decide to go there to figure if it is true or not
- its hard to get a good glimpse inside the cove because the workers that work there dont let anyone take any pictures/videos/exc
-they also wont let anyone inside they cove only outside it and they have gates to keep people outside of the cove
- the group of people decide to put in cameras in the cove at night underwater and above ground to see the dolphin killings happening, by doing so they might be getting followed
- they get the cameras in and they are being followed so they have to make their escape
- they make their escape and watch the video and its worse than what they exopected
- they show the video to the public exc. and they made the dolphin killings go down from every day to once a year
- thats not enough they want to make the dolphin killings stop but the Japanesse thinks its unfair because Americans kill animals too just like what we do with cows
- they find a lot of mercury in the dolphin and it is posioning the people in Taiji and Japan and Dolphin meat doesnt even get sold as much as other meat is but they keep making it
    In this documentary Mark Monroe argues that the dolphins should not be killed and they should stop selling their meat because, the dolphins are high in mercury and that it posions people around the country and its endangering the dolphins. Finally the author argues that since we Americans do it to cows/pigs/other animals that its fine because they arent posioning people in our country but dolphins are and theres no reason to sell something on the market that will make people in your country die.These ideas are similar my english teacher not letting my class go on the feild trip to the shakespear theater because all the other classes are going but we arent because he decided to let the seinors have a feild trip instead of the freshmen.
