Since dolphins communicate by sonar, this noise frightens them because it is an abnormal sound. The dolphins try to escape but the fishermen herd them into the cove and block their escape route with layers of fishing net. some are captured and sent to aquariums, amusement parks and interactive “dolphin encounters" worldwide. “The dolphins are speared, hooked, hoisted into the air by their tails, and finally eviscerated alive. The methods, say researchers, result in a long and painful death for these intelligent marine mammals,” says an article in Science Letter.
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
The Cove The first word that poped out of my mind after I saw the movie “The Cove” is “Wow”. In the film, Ric O’s Barry which was a dolphin trainer, he figured out that dolphins are such intelligent creatures, they shouldn’t be captive and fill humans’ happiness, and they belong where they came from, the ocean. In Japan, Taiji, 23,000 dolphins are being slaughters each year in the cove, it really harms the dolphins population, and nobody knows this is happening, not even the Japanese people. The Japanese government knew what was going on, they wanted money, they hid the facts, and they feed their kids with meats full of toxins. Should dolphins be living in a stressful life because of our human’s selfishness?
He is a consultant for Shark Defense. Shark Defense is a research company developing semiochemical, magnetic, and electrochemical repellents to reduce shark interactions.1 He says that you are more likely to be hit by lightning than to be attacked by a shark.2 Research says that you are more likely to drown in the ocean than to be eaten or killed by a shark. The sea itself is more dangerous that the sharks living in it. So why are people so afraid? Sharks often create images of strong teeth and huge long bodies swimming through the ocean looking for prey.
‘’Now they have beaten me, he thought. I am too old to club sharks to death. But I will try it as long as I have the oars and the short club and the tiller.’’ Even though the old man admits his defeat, he is still set on not giving up. The sharks could also represent those who would tear apart anyone's successes. These repulsive, scavengers find delight in bringing torment, defeat or
The painting is based on the real attack that took place in Havana Harbor in 1749, where Watson was saved after losing his lower left leg. This heroic story was an innovative subject for Copley to paint because history painting was usually limited to themes of the Bible or celebrated events, such as military victories. Details of the event are shown magnificently by Copley. The theme of courage can be seen in the sailor thrusting at the lunging shark with a boat hook. Also the theme of fear can be seen in the other sailors, attempting to pull Watson into the boat and away from danger.
“Whale Wars” is a show about a conservation society who protects whales in the southern ocean from the Japanese Whaling Fleet who hunts whales to sell the meat illegally on the Japanese Market. The Fin Whale is located worldwide from the North Pacific to the Southern Pacific to the Indian, Mediterranean and the Arctic Oceans as well as the Southern Antarctic (WWF, 2007). The Pelagic Zone is where the Fin Whale lives and is a coastal species sometimes living in shallow waters(WWF, 2007). It feeds through the baleen plates in taking large amounts water filtering it through its mouth to in take fish, krill and squid(Harrison, 2005). When it feeds on schools of fish it often lunges sideways in taking the school within several lunges.
In this respect, citizens who have healthy pride attract many people to them because of this charisma and attitude of success. Another effect of positive pride is giving individuals an optimistic view on life. People who have this nourishing pride believe in their every action and trust in their positive power at all times. Even during times when there are insurmountable odds, they trust in themselves. Their ability to come out on top is never doubted and they have already won their battle before it is even started.
Because he went out so far, the sharks ate the fish on the way back to the port. He did not want his fish to be ripped and eaten by Santiago's worst enemy, the sharks. He wished it were only a dream so that the fish would not have to go through the pain. This example shows how much he cared for the fish and how his relationship with the fish was affected by his feeling of caring. Santiago also deeply respects fish in general and this aspect of his relationship to the fish is clearly shown throughout the book.
Eventually they get close to the monster, which eventually turned out to be a shark-shaped submarine, called the Nautilus. They met Captain Nemo, commander and owner of the ship, who told them that they were allowed to stay on the Nautilus, but, they weren´t permitted to leave. At this point, an extraordinary voyage under the sea began. Arronax, was fascinated by all the underwater mysteries. But, Ned Land was not happy at all, so he proposed to escape.
