James Cameron drew the ire of animal rights activists. The director promoted it “Avatar: The Way of the Water” with a dolphin show in Japan, which has outraged many members of animal rights groups.
THE Cameron presented and watched the controversial spectacle with the film’s stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver in Japan.
The dolphins performed a series of tricks with professional trainers as Cameron constantly praised them for their “intelligence and sociability”. The director then joked: “I’m sure everyone asked their permission to be on the show.”
The joke sparked outrage from animal rights groups such as PETA – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, whose spokesperson told Plant Based News: “Why didn’t Cameron stop for five minutes to think about whether he allowed himself to be seen as advocating the cruelty of marine parks?’
The controversy is further complicated by the fact that James Cameron is a co-producer of an Oscar-winning film ‘The Cove’, which is ironically about dolphin hunting in Japan.
