whale preserve

One of the last places that whales are common is called the whale sanctuary. This place is protected by Australian law. But whalers said that they are doing research. Now they freely kill hundreds of whales. The only thing that stands in the whalers and the whales are the sea shepherds. Whom you can read more about below.

whale savers

There are people who save whales from whalers. The most famous group of people who save whales are known as the sea shepherds. Their ship the Steve Irwin(see Above) has rammed many times into the whaling vessels. They will do what ever they can to stop whaling.

beautiful whales

The minke whale is a common target for whalers. It will be on the endangered species list soon.Another target of the whalers is the fin whale.The fin whale is  endangered because of frequent whaling.( see a picture of the fin whale above) Whales are beautiful animals and many are killed for almost no reason. So please don't hunt whales.

the terrible hunt

Whale hunting was band in 1980. But the law allows a number of whales to be killed each year for scientific research. This number is about 1,000. So the Japanese now say they are doing research. But the whalers are not really researching. Instead they are selling the meat. Here are some pictures of the sad and illegal killing of whales. So please don't hunt whales.

whales to no whales

Whale population is rapidly dropping because of us. Did you know whales can only reproduce  1% each year? Just to make things worst they can only do that if ALL threats to them are stopped. a Lot of whale hunting is illegal. So don't hunt whales.

do not hunt whales

Whale hunting is bad simply bad. Why do we hunt whales? You  think for food right? Well that  is wrong. People hunt whales for the blubber. What do we do we do with the blubber? We make lip stick with the blubber. After the blubber is collected the poor whales bleeding body is thrown back into the water. So please do not hunt whales.
