Heartbroken 💔 @JamesCameronOfficial was my hero. I was actually star struck when he reached out to shake my hand as we walked the red carpet towards to stage of the iconic Kodak Theater to pick up the Oscar. That was ten years ago. That was then. This is now. So, I woke up this morning and read my pile of mail, then checked the latest news. A promotional video for the new Avatar movie stopped me in my tracks. I just caught the end of the video where the performing dolphins did their final trick. And now I’m watching my hero applaud the pathetic dolphin show he just participated in and apparently enjoyed—why else would one applaud? I have no doubt the dolphins have a connection to the bloody cove, in Taiji, Japan. This video broke my heart: https://youtu.be/fRR_59i_tFM “Never applaud any wild animal performing for you” - I’ve been saying that for more than fifty years, that and, “Please do not buy a ticket for a dolphin show” - I’ve reached millions of people with these simple messages. And I’m just a small voice in the wind compared to the mega-voice of James Cameron. Just imagine the impact his Avatar franchise would have if he included an anti-dolphin captivity message in his films. He’s a very strong advocate for his vegan lifestyle. I admire that greatly. I look up to him. So why can’t he make the connection to the captive dolphins? I just don’t get it! (Message to Mister Cameron: I still love you, but please see “The Cove” movie asap.) #emptythetanks #dolphinproject @avatar
