I especially like that you are saying "The defense that dolphin-killing isn’t so different from pig or cow killing is both valid and invalid. The film touched on the one way that dolphin-killing is different..." To me, life is life however big or small or intelligent it might be. Who are we to judge on others beeings actions or thinking-patterns. Great post and it makes me curious watching this movie... Have a nice day Will probably watch this movie soon.

I too would have liked a bit more of the action footage - of which I am sure there is a lot. I thought the shots they got with their hidden cameras is unbelievably good and that is what I cried about. I too, of course, thought about the deaths of other animals and thought, it isn't just dolphins, but it's a way in. I felt it also touched on the overfishing of the oceans and the levels of mercury in all fish (there isn't a fish that is not contaminated; I have known this for years and it gets worse every year). I think the ability of the dolphins to understand their fate did add more pain to my viewing of the film, although that in no way keeps me from suggesting that a dumber animal is less important. I think my reaction came from how similar we are to the dolphins in our ability to reason and perceive. I agree that it's more about humans than animals, it is not an animal rights film. But it's about compassion as well, and about the environment. I recommend it. I did cry.
