Yay!  I saw The Cove last week and was mesmerized.  It really played out like a great spy flick.  More Bourne than Bond.  It was all clandestine operations and night vision cameras to show you what was going on in the one tiny area in one tiny town in Japan.  And how we play a part in the senseless slaughter of dolphins.  And how we can be a part of making a change.

I’m not chaining myself to anything.  I’m not a ‘Save The Whales’/PETA kind of person.  But, what’s great about The Cove and Food, Inc. is how they encourage you to know more about the treatment of animals by just telling a compelling story.  Not beating you over the head with rhetoric, guilt or hysteria.  The choice is your to make.  You’ve been informed.

The great thing about the docs is that they will hopefully get more exposure because of the awards coverage.  Both have helped the evolution of my understanding of the role I play in the treatment of animals, either actively or passively.  I’m thinking more about how we share the planet.

See The Cove.  And if you haven’t seen Food, Inc., please do.  Watching both films is time well spent.
