As if that was not horrible enough, dolphin trainers and veterinarians witness and sometimes assist the killings. If they see a "good-looking dolphin", they purchase them to use in dolphinariums (a dolphin aquarium) and amusement parks around the world (Brian Duignan, Dolphin Slaughter in Japan, Advocacy.britannica.com) including the beloved Sea World. A former Sea World biologist stated in a short documentary, "Sea World has been involved in illegal and unethical actions to assure their parks are well stocked with killer whales." He also said in the same documentary that, "Sea World representatives secretly promoted the Japanese dolphin drivers where thousands of animals are
This is shown as the Santiago states, “I wish it was a dream and that I had never hooked him. I'm sorry about it, fish. It makes everything wrong … I shouldn't have gone out so far fish”(110). Santiago is truly sorry that he had to go out so far into the water and catch the giant fish. Because he went out so far, the sharks ate the fish on the way back to the port.
They run out of water while the weather gets really hot. Everyone blames him for killing the albatross that they replace the cross with dead albatross around his neck to remind him of his error. Next, he indirectly get everyone on the ship dead because of the sin he commits. Feeling guilty, the Mariner wants to pray because he is still be cursed. But the Mariner escapes his curse by unconsciously blessing the water snakes, and the albatross drops off his neck into the ocean.
After every account, the investigators refute it as unbelievable. “Bananas don’t float”, “How could you survive in a lifeboat with one?”(99). After much time trying to uncover the truth, the investigators are frank with Pi and tell him “We want a story without animals that will explain the sinking of the Tsimtsum” (99). Pi must oblige and recounts the actual story in where the Chinese sailor got his leg amputated by the cook for bait and his mother is killed right before his eyes. He must recount the story in which he is left with the final option of killing the savage cook.
The Faroe Islands in Denmark is the place where youths celebrate an annual bloodbath killing pilot whales (known as Calderon dolphins) in a bay of blood to celebrate their entry into adulthood. A horrible practice, indeed! Faroe Islands is an autonomous protectorate of Denmark, meaning they operate under some Danish laws and defense. Youths living in the Faroe Islands mark their passage into adulthood by hacking the flesh of gentle living dolphins until the sea turns red with blood as they die thrashing about in agony. Then the humans cannibalize their cetacean sisters and brothers.
Shark poaching is a big concern because it affects the future of sharks and their place of living. Poaching is the process where people get rich by catching sharks on long lines, cutting their fins off, and then dumping the remaining body of the shark back into the ocean to suffocate and bleed to death. Shark poachers seek financial gain and at times religious value, however, by doing so they fail to realize the negative impact that their actions have on the environment and the shark species. “Sharks have made it through multiple mass extinctions on our planet, now many species are going to go the way of the
Then the director shows some excellent underwater footage of men being shot and killed. This is supposed to make you feel shocked and feel sorry for the families of the men who died. The scene on the beach reveals horrific images of men getting their arms and legs blown off and their guts coming out and others getting shot in the head. The director then changes the action by making everything slow motion and making the sound and color dull and when
In the documentary, The Cove, O’Barry exposes hidden truths about the abuse to the dolphins that are captured in Taiji, Japan and slaughtered. This film I watched the other night and was strickened with sadness and shock as to the cruelty to the animals and the deceit by the authorities to hide the truth of what is being done. Watching this film motivated me to write about Richard O’Barry because just in this accomplishment
The “copper sky” and “bloody sun” physically drain the accompanying sailors until they become too exhausted to wake up leaving the Mariner in agonizing isolation (Coleridge 111, 112). Ironically, the crewmen die from lack of hydration even though they are surrounded by water. Likewise, humans can drink endless amounts of water, but the only way to quench the thirst of the soul is through Jesus. A reminder that our actions not only affect us, but the people around us too, is the dead sailors. Sin has a ripple affect that leads to
Is Human Right In Keeping Killer Whales In Prison? In recent years, people start to care about the environment and animals. A lot of laws and actions are applied to improve the habitat which they destroyed so much before and protect the other species all around the world. In some countries, the captive situation of killer whales – the large marine mammal – is one of the most important problems. From the second half of 20th century, theme parks caught orcas from the ocean and keep them to organize entertain shows.
