Whale Hunting - The Truth

[myke]

Hiii...

I'm doing a project at school about whaling and how it's effecting the gene pool..

Obviously I've had to do my research and I've found some shocking pictures/videos that really show what it's all about... I never knew this kinda thing went on in the world today until I started doing this - you don't realise really, that whilst you're tucked up at home, there's people out there fighting to save whales and they try their absolute best.

I know it's morbid and sad but it's not really something you can keep to yourself because it's jut ... meh.

i'm watching the videos now, they are disgusting, especially when it's being shot then pulling it up the 'slip way'

Whaling, although once a necessity, is just blow way out of proportion by greed.

How disgusting, they should be slaughtering cows and chickens like civilised people.

lol unintended pun.

ANYWAY.

What use are whales, really? They just eat Pelk.

I thought whale hunting was really touchy, even forbidden, because of the whale population, or lack there of.

In 1986 the International Whaling Commission (IWC) banned commercial whaling so that stocks might recover.

I don't think its completely illegal, some countries have banned it and others haven't.

Not to twist your mind more but have you looked at seal hunting? That'll turn your stomach too.

Just you tubed some videos and felt sick. How sick can some people get? Why hurt innocent animals that are not causing any problems what so ever. Pure sickness. I have the same views regarding whale hunting also.

There's no point in it any more, Governments really need to let greenpeace do more tbh.
