This is the site for the maker of the movie. I could not watch it at all, in fact I turned off the scenes that were being shown. I don't need to see the horror in order to have feelings about it.

From the site:

In The Cove, a team of activists and filmmakers infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

To really make an impact on this issue, we must get the word out in Japan and urge action from our own leaders. We believe that once the world and the Japanese people know, they will demand change. Help us save Japan's dolphins. Click the link above to demand action from our leaders!

Have you seen the movie The Cove?  That's another one I'm scared to watch.

The Japanese slaughter thousands and thousands of dolphins every year. Please sign the petition here to help to prevent this awful event:

If it's busy, keep trying, it was just featured on tv, so it seems a lot of people are hitting the site.

Congratulations to Portland OR, the most Earth friendly city in the country.

"It is the most powerful, sweeping, society-wide change America has had since the New Deal. The air is cleaner despite the fact that we have twice as many vehicles traveling twice as many miles." —Denis Hayes, who said improvements to the environment grew out of the first Earth Day he helped coordinate 40 years ago.
