Documentary sparks couple’s journey to Japan1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteLike many Americans, Tim and Carrie Burns were horrified by scenes of dolphins being killed in “The Cove,” an Oscar-winning documentary that depicts the annual dolphin slaughter in the village of Taiji, Japan.
And now, the Florida couple is channeling that outrage into efforts to end the killings.
