Japan dolphin hunt town shrugs off 'Cove' Oscar Photo Caption: A dolphin demonstrates a flip on Monday at a dolphin pool in Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, where visitors can play with the animals. The Japanese fishing village featured in "The Cove," which won an Oscar for best documentary, defended Monday its practice of hunting dolphins as a part of its tradition. Residents of this remote village nestled on the rocky coast expressed disgust at the covertly filmed movie, which they said distorted the truth, though few acknowledged seeing it in its entirety. (AP) Captain Paul Watson: This is rich. Men who viciously and cruelly slaughter defenseless dolphins and fill the bay with blood have the audacity to declare the film about what they do as “disgusting.” They admit that many residents did not see the film yet accuse it of distorting the truth. I did not think it was possible to spin the slashing, stabbing, and slaughter of dolphins in any other way than to document the slashing, stabbing, and slaughter of dolphins. Are they suggesting that the dolphins did not die? Are they suggesting that the blood in the bay is fake? I would be interested in knowing just how the truth was distorted?....
