Fighting for the dolphins: Karina Petroni, 20, risked her own safety in order to bring attention to the killing of dolphins, which she's spent most of her life surfing alongside.(REAL-LIFE READS: THE Cosmo Post)
Twenty-year-old Karina Petroni is a talented and beautiful surfer who travels file globe competing and modeling. But when her farther suffered a massive brain aneurysm in 2006, her jet-set life was turned upside down. "We're such a close Family, trod I sort of lost my grasp on things," Karina says. A few months later, her best friend was killed in a hit-and-run accident. 'I started to wonder if life could get any worse," she admits.
Although her dad made a miraculous recovery, Karina was fundamentally changed by the reminder that life can quickly be extinguished. So she decided to do something to save life--specifically, ocean life. Through research, she found the Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS), a production company that yeas shooting a documentary called The Rising about the slaughter of dolphins in the Japanese fishing village of Taiji. Every year, 25,000 of the migrating mammals are driven into a cove and killed for their meat by fishermen. OPS hatched a plan to film it, which is illegal. And Karina wanted in.
