Japanese town in "The Cove" setting dolphins free

About a month ago I posted the trailer for The Cove, a documentary movie about the town of Taiji, Japan, where dolphins are slaughtered yearly for their meat. I was lucky enough to check this movie out while I was back in the states last month, some of the footage is downright shocking. Well it appears the global backlash the fishermen of Taiji have received since the release of this film is taking its toll. An article was just released stating that some of this year's catch of dolphins will be released. Here is the link to the entire article:

Thanks for spreading the word about The Cove. It's an amazing film and it's a shame more people don't know about it. Tell all your friends to go see it!
