"Blood Dolphins" continues work started with "The Cove"

Former Flipper trainer Ric O'Barry, the lead activist of the Oscar-winning film "The Cove," has joined forces with his son Lincoln to produce a special three-part series on the horrifying dolphin trade for Animal Planet.

"The Cove" documentary is an incredibly noble but hard-to-watch horror show on mass dolphin slaughters in Japan. In Animal Planet's "Blood Dolphin," the O'Barrys return to Taiji, Japan, the site of "The Cove," and also travel to the Solomon Islands, the nerve center of dolphin slaughters, to once again confront the cultural, political, and economic forces that affect these incredibly intelligent creatures.
