Adrienne Hall, Producer of the Oscar-winner film The Cove urges
everyone to boycott dolphinarium in Yerevan.
She alarms that animals in dolphinarium are on the verge of madness
and the best way out of such terrible situation is to close them down,
Hall said in an interview with ArmInfo.
She said that thanks to "The Cove" more people in the world began to
fight for preservation of dolphins. The idea of the film originated in
2006 and it seemed obviously unrealizable then. But killing dolphins
is a terrible problem that cannot be neglected, she said.
The Cove closed Arevordi International Environmental Festival in
Yerevan, Tuesday. The film is a real sensation unveiling the secrets
of Taiji Cove in Japan when fishers kill thousands of dolphins every
year. They fish dolphins for oceanariums and for sale. The meat of
dolphins containing high level of poisonous mercury content is often
sold in supermarkets as whale meat. In 2010 The Cove won the Academy
Award as the Best Full Documentary.
Demonstration of the film in Yerevan started with a video address
of the film director Luis Psihoyos to Arevordi Festival, wherein he
urged everyone to fight for closing down dolphinariums.
