I saw this, I'm not a huge animal lover but it was actually pretty good.

I'm not sure if I really agree with the movie. For example, I somewhat agree with the notion that it is their culture there to hunt dolphins and it may not seem normal to us and that is why we think of it as barbaric. But Indians would think the same of us if they saw us killing cows. What makes dolphins any different?

ALTHOUGH: I do agree that dolphin meat is potentially bad for you because of mercury. For THIS reason I am against dolphin hunting. I also think it is extremely wrong for the grocery stores to mislead their consumers and not tell them the truth about what type of meat they are getting. They need to have higher food standards over there.
