OUR James Cameronwhose second filmAvatarWhen it was released in theaters 13 years after the first film was released, it angered animal rights activists.
The director advertisedAvatar: Path of Waterwith a dolphin show in Japan that outraged many members of animal welfare organizations.
Cameron presented and watched the performance along with some of the film’s stars, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver in Japan.
The dolphins performed a series of tricks on their professional trainers as Cameron constantly praised them for their “intelligence and sociability”. The director then joked, “I’m sure everyone asked permission to be on the show.”
The comment drew the ire of organizations such as PETA – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, whose spokesman told the plant news website, “Why didn’t Cameron stop for five minutes to think if he allowed himself to be seen as an advocate for marine animals? ยป cruelty parks?
The dispute is further complicated by the fact that Cameron co-produced the Oscar-winning film The Cove, about dolphin hunting in Japan.
