Groundshark it is an important movie for local consumption.
What we perceive as cruelty may be part of a cultural norm like bull fighting in Spain (It often is cruel though in a universal sense). The battle to change hearts and minds IMHO has to come from within the culture that accepts it. The whale wars show and featured sea shepherds is good example.

Speaking of cultural norm I think Hindus and vegetarians in general would be appalled at our own meat packing houses. Bow hunting is accepted by many (Certainly not all) in our culture too, read a bit about it. We sort of idolize marine mammals but all animals should be treated with some respect.

IMHO if one feels strongly about this lets support these movements in other countries but work more on making sure we aren't hypocrites about it.

I do have to admit when the anti whalers land a stink bomb aboard the Japanese whaling (oops research) ships I smile.

BTW I could not and will not watch any of these but their existence shouldn't be ignored. Tell your reps to vote the budget for more inspectors

Finally I believe (cant find it easily) that a group of Native Americans in Alaska has whale hunts that could be considered similar.

   Bought the dvd a few months back. So cruel & brutal what they're doing to those dolphins. I totally support the cause &
Highly recommend watching this film.

For all my animal lovers please brace yourself If you have not seen the film yet! Its raw footage, its heart breaking! I cried throughout 1/2 the movie.

I browsed through it a little bit. I wish there was something more proactive I could be involved in besides just donating or signing a petition. Like if they hold a rally locally I would totally go. The atmosphere of being around alot of people who care just as much as you about a cause like this would feel great

I figured the site would be mostly for donations and such. September is when it all begins in Japan, I wonder if they are doing anything about it as we speak. If you hear of anything local, let me know, I'm so down.

I am a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservatory. I donate as much as I can to the cause. As we continue to pollute and over fish our oceans we will bring about our own end, why mankind has not figured this out is beyond me, we have devastated the coral reefs with drag nets, we string miles of gill nets, in the ocean and destroy entire populations of fish. I used to do a lot of ocean sailing, as we would sail across the coastal Pacific, I would see mile long strings of gill nets with no catcher boats any where in sight. These nest had thousands of fish in them , most of the fish were removed from the nest and discarded as waste, they only wanted a select few of the species.
Boys and girls as goes the ocean so goes the planet.

   I've not been able to bring myself to see this movie. I know the story and I know its important, but I just can't do it.
I'm interested in contributing, but I've actually been too chicken to click onto the website. I'm probably going to have to do it by proxy, just so I'll know where to send the check.

I once watched a video made by an animal rights group. Woke up the middle of the night and this film was on. So I watched it.
I was actually boderline disturbed( as in pathology) for 2 or 3 weeks after.
Kudos to those who had the courage to view the Cove. You're made of stronger stuff than I am.
