I saw this great PSA this week which was inspired by the documentary film The Cove, which I wrote about earlier this month.
It’s very powerful and features a number of celebrities, among them Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Aniston, Robin Williams, Jason Mraz, Naomi Watts, Ben Stiller, Hayden Panettiere, Paul Rudd, James Kyson Lee, Russell Simmons, John Leguizamo, and Courtney Cox. It even features a handful of Japanese American celebrities like Tamlyn Tomita, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Chris Tashima — no doubt strategically placed, since the issue is about the dolphin hunting in Japan. What matters, though, is that they all came together to save the dolphins.

I thought it was really powerful, too. 🙂
I was watching this Japanese food show today, and they were serving whale meat in a restaurant. Made me cringe… 🙁

Now that I think about it, is the film, “The COve” why we didn’t see a single dolphin at Sea World the other day…??
I had no idea about this issue! I’m interested in watching the film too.

I was actually wondering that, too! After we saw the movie, Dan accused me, “You went to Sea World!” but I told him we didn’t see any dolphins at all when we were there… I wonder if the exhibit was closed because of the controversy.
I really recommend the movie! I didn’t know anything about the issue either until I saw it. 絶対見るã¹ãã よー
