Video Worksheet: The Cove [ODD]

1. Ric O' Bary is the main "defender" in the documentary.
3. He was a dolphin trainer and witnessed the suicide of a dolphin.
5. Dolphins are in the Cetacean mammalian order.
7. Islands in the Caribbean allegedly support whaling because they are receiving financial support from Japan.
9. Once the dolphins are trapped, they are pierced with spears - bleeding to death.
11. The purpose of the documentary is to expose the gruesome Japanese fishing practices and the dangers of eating dolphin meat.
13. Biomagnification happens when the concentration of toxic substances increases higher up the food chain.
15. The fishermen refuse to stop because they believe that it is in their tradition, and that the government claims that dolphins are eating up all the fish.
17. The crew disguise the cameras as rocks and put them in less noticeable places.
19. When the deputy claimed that the dolphins were killed instantaneously, a crew member showed him on his phone a cruel slaughter of dolphins.
21. When they first saw the cove, the divers witnessed a struggling bleeding dolphin taking its final breaths.
23. By going to Marineland, I would be contributing to the profits of this business, which motivates it to continue and to grow.
