**Dolphins are the most social creatures on the planet. They are intelligent creatures that can even understand American Sign Language. Their life span is 45-50 years but many held in captivity die within the first two years due to stress, disease or pollution in their tank.

The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the world is not aware this is happening.

The focus of the Social Action Campaign for The Cove is to create worldwide awareness of this annual practice as well as the dangers of eating seafood contaminated with mercury, and to pressure those in power to put an end to the slaughter.
**This documentary on a hidden cove in Taiji by a group of passionate activists has started a movement on the banning of these ecological worldwide crimes.If you haven’t see this movie, it is incredibly tough and emotional to watch but its a must see. if you are moved, please help do something to save these beautiful creatures.
