Was There Another Documentary On This Subject?
When "The Cove" was released, I recall another film on the same subject being released at almost the same time. One reviewer even compared the two films and believed the other to be more effective as a documentary as it was apparently more "objective" than "The Cove" (whatever that might mean in this context). Unfortunately, I forgot the title and now cannot find it. Was there another film of this sort and if so, does anyone recall the title?
I also vaguely recall a TV show ("That's Incredible"?) of some decades ago showing a similar dolphin slaughter, though I do not know whether it was in Japan. The filmmakers in that case had no difficulty getting their footage and no need to resort to "Mission Impossible" techniques as in "The Cove" (mind, "The Cove" mentions another Japanese city which once did the same thing and now has no dolphins). Does anyone else recall this?
It is worth noting that dolphins are routinely slaughtered in several locations other than Taiji, Japan. It does seem strange indeed that Taiji goes to such great lengths to hide their activities when the same barbarity is practiced elsewhere with no apparent qualms or public outcry. "The Cove" may well have targeted one location among many where matters may well continue without notice.
The last resort of one who cannot think is to argue that another cannot feel.
