			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The movie, The Cove, wins an Oscar for Best Documentary!!! This brings worldwide attention to the people in Japan and other nations who are harming dolphins and whales.</p>
<p>I was surprised to see Ric O&#8217;Barry hold up the sign, text dolphin 44144, during Louie Psihoyos acceptance speech for best documentary. This prevented Louie from giving his speech as the network cut off coverage when the sign came up. Their message was already getting out and I believe Louie&#8217;s acceptance speech and the audience applause may have been more impactful.</p>
<p>As I mentioned in my previous post, I had doubts that Ric O&#8217;Barry&#8217;s  confrontational approach towards the Japanese fisherman would get them to change their ways, but rather would harden their hearts. It seems that this is the case as the response today from these fisherman that kill dolphins is even more emphatically&#8230;you can&#8217;t tell me what to do.</p>
<p>A way you can help the dolphin&#8217;s and whale&#8217;s is to come on the June retreat  and experience for yourself what it is like to be in their presence. Then you will be empowered to share with other people how you were touched by their precious presence. And together we can come up with an approach to ending human&#8217;s harming dolphins and whales that softens rather than hardens the human heart. Maybe it is to sing love songs to the perpetrator&#8217;s, or to let them see our suffering, or show how the dolphins helped us heal our own wounds. What a marvelous adventure!!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s sing together with the dolphins. </p>
<p>In Peace,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A spokesman for Sea World justified kepping Orca&#8217;s in captivity for the following reasons. First, they are now mating and producing babies so they must be happy. Second, if they are released back into the wild they probably would not  join another  pod of wild Orca&#8217;s and will eventually die, as this is what happened when the captive Orca, Keiko, was released.</p>
<p>These are such  ridiculous justifications and they do make me really angry. For a long time the Orca&#8217;s did not mate because they were so traumatized at being captured and isolated in  cement holding tanks. Now they are probably mating because it is part of their normal behavior and they are so bored what else is there to do. This does not mean that they are happy. The Orca&#8217;s held captive live much shorter lives than wild Orca&#8217;s and it is not surprising that when introducing captive Orca&#8217;s into the wild it may take them some time to be adopted my another pod, if ever. Yet, this is not a justification for not releasing them back into the wild!!!</p>
<p>Orlando Sea World held their first Orca show on Saturday since the tragic death of Dawn Brancheau on Wednesday and get this&#8230; the theme of the show was &#8220;believe&#8221;, about a young boy who see&#8217;s an Orca at the Aquarium and then dreams of one day becoming a whale trainer!!! Obviously, they are trying to justify that being an Orca tainer is a great life achievement and are brainwashing all the children attending the show to believe that they should  hope to one day become an Orca trainer.</p>
<p>I am dumbfouded at the depth of human ignorance. This pathetic story speaks for itself.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The documentary, The Cove, has been nominated for an Academy Award for best doumentary and there is a strong possibility that it will win. It is a heart wrenching movie about the annual slaughter of  dolphins in a cove in Taiji, Japan. The movie also covers the history of dolphins in captivity. If you love dolphins and whales then I highly recommend you watch this documentary and then take whatever action you can to stop the dolphin slaughter and free captive dolphins and whales.</p>
<p>I wrote a post on 2/22/08 entitled, &#8216;Why Japanese Slaughter Whales and Dolphins&#8217;. I think it makes sense and ask that you take the time to read it. It is listed under Categories- Dolphin Slaughter on my blog/post page.</p>
<p>I also wrote a post on 3/18/08 entilted, &#8216;True Nature Divine Love Is The Solution.&#8217;  We need to do everything in our power to stop the slaughter of dolphin and whales (like  the movie, The Cove ) and ultimately it is waking up to our true divine nature. Please take your time to read it. It is listed under Categories- Divine Love or True Nature on my blog/post page. Thank you.
