‘Blood Dolphins’ Lincoln O’Barry On Dolphin Traditions In Japan
Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, September 3rd, 2010 in Animal Issues, Film & TV.
Lincoln O’Barry is the son of ex dolphin trainer turned activist Ric O’Barry, who was a major player in the movie The Cove. On Animal Planet’s Blood Dolphins, Ric returns to where The Cove was filmed in Japan and brings along his son Lincoln as the work side by side to expose dolphin slaughter.
Lincoln spoke to The Futon Critic on his like father like son passion for educating the world on marine conservation. It’s not a lie to say the dolphin industry isn’t linked with strong tradition in Japan. Perhaps that’s why there was so much opposition to The Cove finally getting it’s premiere in the country. Lincoln explains that the first three episodes of Blood Dolphins cover some of those traditions.
