Johnny brought over The Cove documentary last night, and we all watched it. Well, Tom, my log, fell asleep, but what's new!? I woke up this AM still thinking about it, so I have to tell you about it. It's about the cruel suffering & slaughtering of dolphins in Japan. I knew it would be sad, but it was so much more than that. I admit, at times it was hard to get through, but I knew it was the only way to learn the truth. It was so eye-opening, moving, touching, & powerful. I think everyone needs to watch it. I've loved animals & all creatures of the ocean all my life. I'm not that close to the beach, physically... and haven't been in years, but when I used to go with my mom, I felt a connection to the water & everything living. When we would play on the beach, it felt like the beach was playing back. The sand, the sounds, the blue, the sea creatures... a bit surreal, even. My mom would dance around like a movie star, and all the world was perfect for a few minutes. It was just us, my red bucket with shovel, and the ocean. I learned to respect how big and complex the waters are. It's a stab to my soul to learn that people could be so ignorant & cruel to other living species. Especially since dolphins are so smart, and helpless when it comes to man. Do you know that they're second most intelligent to humans? They've saved us, and we kill them. What's wrong with that picture? They should be ashamed with their stupid workers & selfish, greedy government - wake the fuck up!!!!!
