Chapter 619 The Poisoning of the Vice Minister of Oceans
The audience laughed at Bi Fang's awkward chat, and he was helpless.
Participating in a live broadcast with a stranger is awkward in itself. Leonardo's time was okay, the status gap between the two parties was not big, and Bi Fang is also a movie fan. Starting from the movie, it was easy to find common topics.
Bowness is completely different. First of all, his status is very different, and it is difficult to find a topic. Is it difficult to talk...
Even if he wanted to talk, there was the God of River Crab hanging above Bifang's head, watching him all the time.
Dare you say it?
If you dare to say it, I dare to block it.
"This is the first time I have set foot on the beach in Rossili. I have always heard about it but never had the opportunity. This is definitely the best day for me. I don't have to stay in a boring office. I actually like sports very much.
, that’s the meaning of life, isn’t it?”
Bowes was joking, but in fact this did have some real thoughts in his heart.
When he was the mayor of London, he used to cycle to work every day, believing that cycling could alleviate London's traffic congestion.
As a result, after becoming Foreign Secretary, he hoped to continue his cycling life, but the London police told Boweith that his status was different now. As Foreign Secretary, it was too dangerous to do so, and Boweith was asked to only use an official vehicle.
Later, Boweis's bicycle was stolen, and it is said that he even cried for it because it had been with him for 8 years and was given to him by an Olympic athlete.
The two of them walked and chatted, and Bifang soon fell back into rhythm again.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. I saw you on the cover of Time magazine. Now we should be considered magazine friends."
"Journalist?" Bi Fang was stunned. He had never heard such a statement before.
Bowers blinked: "I was on the cover more than ten years ago."
Bi Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't have read all the time magazines, and he didn't expect this at all.
[Good guy, it turns out this works too]
[Alumni, roommates, friends, and now there is another magazine friend]
[I found it. In 2009, he was selected into Time magazine’s top 100 influential people in the world!]
[I remember Hit also logged in...]
[Hiss, so scary]
But at least they have common characteristics. Once people have common characteristics, they can better find their position. With a position, there will be a topic.
After a brief introduction, Boris quickly talked about Dolphin Bay from Time Magazine. After all, the reason why Bi Fang boarded the island was because of it.
"I have watched the entire documentary. It is really amazing. It also made me pay attention to more animal protection issues." Bowes expressed heartfelt praise.
The editing of the documentary is very dramatic.
In the dolphinarium, a little boy looked curiously in front of the shelves selling dolphin meat, while a little girl couldn't put it down holding a stuffed animal with the image of a dolphin in the sea.
When Richard was crying because of the death of the little dolphin, the fishermen who were watching them were mocking and teasing them in a numb way.
The ocean was stained red with dolphin blood, and the injured dolphin struggled wildly. The little dolphin dragged its body covered in blood and swam towards the camera, eager to be rescued, but in the end it sank to the bottom of the sea in a hopeless manner.
They are all master-level shots, and some angles even make people wonder if they were really secretly shot?
Just as the soldier mentioned, Bowes was also very interested in the Dolphin Cove incident.
The audience also cheered up, it's finally here, the full ending!
"Our efforts are not to expose the massacre, but rather to record something that can change people's hearts."
"The original intention of filming the documentary was not to make people overly condemn the Japanese fishermen, but to understand this matter, think about it, and then change it."
This is Bi Fang's first positive response after the incident.
It’s also a good time to find a topic to open up an entry point for communication.
"I paid attention to the subsequent reaction of Taiji Town in Japan, but I was very disappointed." Bi Fang sighed.
He was not completely fishing at home these days, so he naturally paid attention to the sequel. After half a month of fermentation, a lot of things actually happened.
Officials of the local fishermen's association still refused to be interviewed, saying, "These are serious misinterpretations of the facts. We are indignant."
Taiji Town Mayor Sanken Iktaka still emphasized: "The killing of dolphins does not violate any laws. It is necessary to respect each other's food culture on the basis of understanding local traditions and actual conditions."
Regarding the slaughter of dolphins by fishermen in Taiji Town, the Japanese government continues to insist that hunting dolphins and whales is an important cultural tradition in Japan.
Due to opposition from residents of Taiji Town, Japanese theaters did not dare to show the film.
However, there is good news. The Japanese distributor has made it clear that regardless of whether the Taiji Town Government agrees or not, the documentary will be released in October or November. An independent theater in central Tokyo has even agreed to show the film.
Jarrett, the director of this film in his previous life, was arrested by the Japanese, but this time with the help of Bi Fang, there was no such trouble.
Hundreds of European tourists are watching eagerly. Although many people have left Dolphin Bay in half a month, more and more people are coming. The total number of people is not only not small, but is increasing.
"As an island country with a high population density and scarce resources, Japan has experienced continuous natural and man-made disasters in history. Due to the extreme lack of security, the desire for resources formed in long-term life and a collective unconsciousness towards marine resources
dependence and possession.”
I think what this documentary embodies is that under the trend of profit, human desires are magnified without limit, while the ethics of the animal world, including humans themselves, are ignored.
"When dolphin shows developed into an industry with an annual output worth billions, people started to capture dolphins crazily. People could even supply inedible dolphin meat to schools for profit, turning a blind eye to children's health."
"It's not just about dolphins. The tragedy of drying up the swamps for fishing and burning forests for hunting is happening every day on this earth. Most people are bleeding heads every day for various interests and are happy to do so. They have no time to consider whether their actions are against nature.
While satisfying the ever-increasing desires, it ignores the harmony with nature, the environment, and the earth."
Returning to his own field, Bi Fang started talking again and paused at the end.
"I think there is still a long way to go before humans can completely separate themselves from the natural environment and travel among the stars and the sea. Until then, nature is still untouchable to us."
"Well...that's about it, the summary you want."
"That's very well said." Boweis clapped his hands. Just when he was about to say something more, he realized that the beach had come to an end. He thought about it and said directly, "There is one more thing you may not have done yet.
Know."
"What's up?"
“Japan’s Deputy Minister of Oceans is poisoned by mercury.”
