AA's vid shows just how easily it is to co exist with the dolpins. I'm lucky enough to paddle each month with dolphins in Forster. They enjoy playing around my board but certainly not as close as AA's vid. As a result of surfing and paddling with dolphins for years they're something I'm a little passionate about so do yourself a favour and watch The Cove and Blackfish. Then watch AA's vid again!!
See The Cove and Blackfish! For many cetacean advocates, The Cove was the impetus which compelled them to action. In this 2009 Academy Award-winning documentary, starring Ric O'Barry, ex-trainer turned world-renowned dolphin activist, a team of investigators go undercover in Japan to document the Taiji dolphin massacres -- and expose the inextricable link with the captive dolphin industry. Blackfish is a new documentary film which chronicles the tragic story of Tilikum, SeaWorld's largest captive breeding bull orca, who is responsible for the death of three people -- including senior trainer, Dawn Brancheau. The movie also exposes the abuse, suffering, wrongness and devastating consequences of keeping orcas imprisoned in captivity. Several people who witnessed the attacks come forward to share their stories, and former SeaWorld trainers also speak out.
