gadling.com — The Academy Award winning documentary The Cove is stirring up controversy in Japan, where several theaters, including one on an U.S. Army base, have removed it from their screens, while others decide if they should risk showing it all. Last week, three theaters pulled the film, which depicts the annual dolphin slaughter in a Japanese village.

The Japanese should make a film about cute calves and lambs being slaughtered for veal and lamb chops.

Why?

It's not just about the animals, it's about the high levels of mercury.

Pigs are about as intelligent as dolphins, and most people don't have any difficulty in seeing pigs as a food animal. Sure, we raise them for food, but that doesn't make them dumb.

You can't just blame the Japanese for eating their food.Fishermen get dolphins tangled in nets and pollution kills off a lot of them.. those are wasted. At least the Japanese are actually doing something with what they kill.
