#39 - Dead Or Alive, Wild Dolphins Fuel A Million Dollar Industry | Lincoln O'Barry

Lincoln O'barry is an activist / filmmaker who has dedicated his life to ending the captivity and slaughter of wild dolphin. Lincoln has been traveling to countries all over the world releasing captive dolphin since the age of six, including a small coastal town in Japan called Taiji, which happens to be the birthplace of Japanese whaling. In 2009 a documentary was created about Lincoln and his father's work titled "The Cove" which won the 2010 Oscar for 'Best Documentary Feature'. The film is a call to action to halt mass dolphin kills, change Japanese fishing practices, and educate the public of the risks of mercury poisoning from dolphin & whale meat. Lincoln also directed and executive produced the award winning Animal Planet series "Blood Dolphin$" which documents the lucrative captive dolphin trade in the Solomon Islands.
