It turns out, movies can make a difference. Richard O'Barry, the dolphin trainer turned dolphin activist who is the central character in the documentary The Cove, announced this yesterday:
Today is September 1st, the first day of the dolphin slaughter season in Japan. But when I arrived today by bus from Kansai Airport with media representatives from all over the world, the notorious Cove from the movie was empty. There were no dolphin killers in sight.
...And as I was talking with the police, as the international journalists stood around listening, suddenly a camera crew arrived from Japan! And then another! And then still another!
You have to understand that this is SO IMPORTANT. These TV stations have REFUSED to cover the story in Taiji for years and years. NOW, for the first time, they have shown up, with cameras rolling.

По-русски:
Уважаемые!
Почему Вы не замечаете самого главного?
Опасный объект - атомная электрическая станция "Фукусима-1" (по-японски - 福島第一原子力発電所) - был построен в ошибочно выбранном месте.
Возможные последствия строительства атомной станции в этом месте можно было предвидеть еще до начала строительства атомной электрической станции "Фукусима-1".
АЭС "Фукусима-1" расположена с наружной стороны острова Хонсю. Наружная сторона острова Хонсю более подвержена угрозе землетрясений и цунами, чем внутренняя сторона острова, которая направлена в сторону материка. Кроме того, среди 6 852 островов Японского архипелага есть место, которое более безопасное для строительства таких опасных объектов. До аварии на АЭС "Фукусима" 54 атомных реактора Японии обеспечивали до 30 % потребностей страны в электрической энергии. Сейчас в Японии работают около 12 атомных реакторов из имеющихся 54.
Кроме того, у Японии есть вариант снабжения электричеством без риска глобальных катастроф и более экологически приемлемый. Ведь землетрясения и цунами в Японии могут повториться.
Что думает по этому поводу правительство Японии?

En français:
Chers!
Pourquoi avez-vous pas remarqué la chose la plus importante?
Objet dangereux - la centrale nucléaire "Fukushima-1" (en japonais - 福岛 第一 原子 力 発 电 所) - a été construit au mauvais endroit.
Les conséquences possibles de la construction centrale atomique dans ce domaine pourrait avoir été prévue avant la construction d'une centrale nucléaire "Fukushima-1".
La centrale nucléaire "Fukushima-1" est situé sur le côté extérieur de l'île de Honshu (Honshū). Côté extérieur de l'île de Honshu (Honshū) est plus sensible à la menace de tremblements de terre et les tsunamis, que le côté intérieur de l'île, qui se penche sur le continent. Par ailleurs, parmi les 6852 îles de l'archipel japonais est un lieu qui est le plus sûr pour la construction ces objets dangereux. Avant l'accident dans une centrale nucléaire "Fukushima-1" 54 réacteurs nucléaires au Japon généré jusqu'à 30% de l'électricité du pays. Au Japon à ce moment produire de l'énergie environ 12 réacteurs nucléaires parmi 54.
En outre, il s'agit d'un projet fourniture d'électricité au Japon sans le risque d'une catastrophe mondiale et plus écologique. Parce que le séisme et le tsunami au Japon peut être répété. Comme le gouvernement japonais envisage de résoudre le problème?

Dears!
Why did not you notice the most important thing?
Dangerous object - the atomic power station "Fukushima-1" (in Japanese - 福岛 第一 原子 力 発 电 所) - was built in the wrong place.
Possible consequences of the nuclear power plant construction in this area could have been foreseen before the construction of a nuclear power plant "Fukushima-1".
NPP "Fukushima-1" is located on the outer side of the island of Honshu. Outer side of the island of Honshu is more susceptible to the threat of earthquakes and tsunamis, than the inner side of the island, which is directed towards the mainland. Furthermore, among the 6852 islands the Japanese archipelago is a place that is more safer for the construction of such dangerous objects. Prior to the accident at the nuclear power plant "Fukushima-1" 54 nuclear reactors in Japan generated up to 30% of the country's electricity. Now in Japan works about 12 nuclear reactors of the existing 54.
In addition, Japan may have a variant of the supply of electricity without the risk of global catastrophe and more environmentally acceptable. Because the earthquake and tsunami in Japan can be repeated.
What thinks about this occasion the Japanese government?

Kansai Airport with media representatives from all over the world, the notorious Cove from the movie was empty.

It is obviously that they should stop dolphin slaughter, dolphin is a very cute animal, we should protect them...

But when I arrived today by bus from Kansai Airport with media representatives from all over the world, the notorious Cove from the movie was empty. There were no dolphin killers in sight.

That might last a year or two and then everyone will move on to the next endangered species and they know this....media attention means quiet...for a while
