Ah well, I think it's great. Pretty powerful, good imagery. reminds me of when I had to write poems at school.

Meh,

I call bullshit on the cove. If it showed both sides of the tale it could actually be called a documentary. As it stands, populated with bleeding heart home and away drop outs and other D girls its sensationalised rubbish. We can all win arguments by resorting to extremes. If I made a film about cows showing some nice deep focus on those big brown eyes before some extra from texas chain saw massacre carves them up then...you get the picture.

Only Billabong wearing SW and ASL journos get teary about this stuff. Harden the fuck up Tracks readers and lets move on, we've got a planet to feed here people! No semi sentient cetacean is going to get in the way of my tuna sandwich.

Agree about the cows, sheep ,etc but what about the fish, cant be much fun being pulled out of the water by the mouth. But hey I eat all of them and agree, feed the world. Cetacean, new word for me. Age old problem, dont use dunnie paper if you dont agree with clear felling, dont eat meat if you dont agree with rounding up the cattle for the bolt gun,always hard to find a happy medium, hey. Interesting and thought invoking response, longinus.

Loginus you should pull your head out of your ass mate, you must not be a surfer because everyother surfer I know appreciates the dolphin and on top of that they have been known to protect people from sharks, oh yeah as for feeding the planet if you actually watched this doco before you dissed it then you would find that dolphin meat if full of mercury but in your state of ignorance you wouldn't know that would you, i can only hope that people like you do go and eat some dolphin and suffer the conciquences involved a word of advise next time your going to diss a well researched documentary how about you pay a little attention of your own and stop trying to sound super tough

Your killing it mate, if that movie gave you the inspiration to write this then dont let anybody bring it down, their your feelings and nobody can tell you otherwise nice to see you have a heart and care about other things on the planet other than yourself like some people

I have not seen the movie, dont really want to, the piece was written after seeing the press on the attempted banning of free speech, it brought back the feelings had after reading the Tracks artical. As for for letting people bring it down, man where do we draw the line. Doing that to Dolphins is insane , but I rekon other animals sense they are going to the slaughter.
Still have heaps of respect for people that take the time to try and make a difference.
