Dolphins dying at the cove

In the new documentary "The Cove," animal rights activists use hidden cameras to expose a cove in Japan where thousands of dolphins were captured and many slaughtered. Midmorning examines the difficult balance in defending animal rights and acknowledging the cultural claims that the Japanese make on dolphins as food.
