The real threat to whales is whaling, which has endangered many whale species.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are a number of things everyone can do to help protect whales.
I'm concerned about the ocean and the environment. And I love whales.
Does Greenpeace think it can stop whaling in Antarctica by publicly eating whale meat and declaring it delicious? What are these people thinking?
Whales are killed today to supply the limited demand for whale meat or to be used in pet foods or as fodder for fur-bearing animals used in the fur trade.
I don't know where to put whales. I'm sticking them here, but I don't have any reason for it.
The problem is that Americans care more about saving whales than saving males.
If I say that I am more interested in preventing the slaughter of large whales than I am in improving housing conditions for people, I am likely to shock some of my friends.
I have never suffered under any delusion that saving the whales in the Antarctic sanctuary would be easy, but the one thing I am certain of is that I and my passionate crew of international volunteers will never quit defending life in the seas from poachers, no matter what consequences we must endure to do so.
It had an enormous impact to the point of the United Nations passing a resolution against the killing and hunting of these whales as they are an endangered species. This was a documentary on the plight of the whales.
The threat of extinction is more real than many realise. And the damage done to elephants directly leads to destruction of the ecosystem.
