Anyone seen this movie? It is pretty f*cked up!
Claiming dolphins are "pests" because they eat too many fish? Blaming dolphins for the massive decrease in fish stocks? Selling dolphin meat as quality fish?
Whats all this shit about mercury in larger fish and poisoning the jap school kids with (mercury) dolphin meat? Is high mercury in fish any where near as much of a problem as they make out?

The Cove is a 2009 American documentary film that describes the annual killing of dolphins in a National Park at Taiji, Wakayama, in Japan from an anti–dolphin-hunting campaigner's point of view.[3][4] The film highlights that the number of dolphins killed in the Taiji dolphin hunting drive is several times greater than the number of whales killed in the Antarctic, and reports that 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed in Japan every year in the country's whaling industry. The migrating dolphins are herded into a hidden cove where they are netted and killed by means of spears and knives over the side of small fishing boats.

the mercury in the big fish is due to bio-accumulation i think ... in other words if all the small fish have a tiny trace amount of mercury in them and the big fish keeps eating those smaller fish the mercury levels just add up in the end. big problem for heavy metals _________________ Shooting and Spearing
