Did anybody watch - 'Journey To Planet Earth' on PBS yet?

[Breeze54]

I watched the show last night and it was truly mind blowing!
If you get a chance, I recommend that you take the time to watch!
Some of the segments are viewable on PBS:

The programs in the Journey to Planet Earth series explore the fragile relationship between people
and the world they inhabit. The series is produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Marilyn and Hal
Weiner in association with South Carolina ETV.

A common thread runs throughout all the programs — the necessity to achieve a balance between the
needs of people and the needs of the environment. Loss of farmland to urban development, the
pollution of the Earth’s rivers, inadequate housing and water resources for those living in the
world’s mega-cities — these are just some of the topics covered in Journey to Planet Earth.

In this section you can watch video clips and learn more about each episode, meet the filmmakers and
funders, or purchase the video series. You can see photographs from locations and behind-the-scenes
at our photo gallery.

I was appalled by what Japan is doing to dolphins; not that the US isn't just as bad.

The reports from Taiji and Futo, Japan are absolutely horrifying.
Over the next five months the fishermen will kill more than one
thousand dolphins, pilot whales and other cetaceans.
Unless we take immediate action, the killings will continue.
The lives of thousands of dolphins are at stake.

The BlueVoice video team has helped end the killing of dolphins
in many Japanese fishing villages. In Futo, we helped establish
a dolphin watching business to replace dolphin huntng.
But now the Futo fisherman plan to hunt.

We are mobilizing to be on the ground in Futo to prevent the captures.
BlueVoice.org has worked since 1979 to stop dolphin killing in Japan
and we've had lots of success. Our video exposés raised an international
outcry and led to regulations restricting the hunt.

Help keep our team in the field. Our video exposés have forced the fishermen
to conceal their actions. Now they block roads to the harbor and kill at night.

Your support will enable the BlueVoice team to be on the scene to continue
to bring this story to the world and end the killing forever.

Take action now by clicking on the links to send emails to the Japanese
fishing cooperatives, donate to BlueVoice and tell a friend.
