And the pace of it at time was thrilling. Thanks for reading about it. <br /><br />Theresa - There was no way I was leaving except I wanted to follow the couple that did leave and ask them exactly why they were. <br /><br />Katrine - Thanks for the <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/rn/latenightlive/stories/2009/2654647.htm" rel="nofollow">link</a>. I love audio interviews with authors, directors, with all kinds of people actually. The 23,000 is annually. The incomprehensible part was the method of the harvest and that they are being harvested towards extinction. Not that either of those things are unique to dolphins but focusing on the dolphins gets a bit more attention than a homely white fish. <br /><br />Andree - You said it all beautifully. Thank you. And yes be proud! Your students are brilliant. - And for what it's worth there were quite a few families with young teenage kids at the show. And none of them left.Kale for Salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467378353738682141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-47041922989272230722009-08-17T17:13:49.744-07:002009-08-17T17:13:49.744-07:00I'm not sure how to say this, since I too find...I'm not sure how to say this, since I too find the slaughter and the cover up appalling, but I had an interesting discussion with 110 college students....<br /><br />I had my students watch something that sounds similar to this in the oceanography class I teach. It was more focused on the slaughter (not the cover up), but I was proud of my students for thinking outside the box. They discussed how we treat cows as well as that in the Japanese culture the word dolphin means something like gangster. Its interesting what we value as a warm fuzzy creature that others may not and vice versa. <br /><br />We need to be able to combine ethical treatment with sustainable use AND regulated "harvest" (plant, animal, mineral, whatever) of our resources....<br /><br />Thanks for bringing up this movie. I'm excited to potentially use it with my class!Andreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692407758290314811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-56199514469183175392009-08-17T16:20:13.036-07:002009-08-17T16:20:13.036-07:00philip adams, an australian radio icon, did an int...philip adams, an australian radio icon, did an interview with the director about this a few nights ago that you might be interested in. 23,000 dolphins slaughtered ... it's incomprehensible...<br /><br />http://www.abc.net.au/rn/latenightlive/stories/2009/2654647.htmKatrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876808853541309162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-42175388758435969232009-08-17T10:26:07.475-07:002009-08-17T10:26:07.475-07:00I do despair at our human folly some days.
