I enjoyed reading the articles on the blue whale and found it sad that weve knocked them down the IUCN Red List all the way to endangered in under 70 years of whaling. I hope maybe to see one of these chaps in the wild.
So this is just something to remind people of how quickly we can endanger a species. With whales, were even more removed because well most of us dont live in the ocean. Were removed from much of what we eat both meat and vegetables, not to mention synthetic products so next time you see something on your plate or youre unwrapping a candy, consider where it is from and if it sounds interesting, consider taking a look.
Personally though, whale-watching is more interesting than visiting a confectionery factory, but thats just me.
Kind regards,
Pascal

Yea.
It's kind of sad the the most friendly and inquisitive whales get rewarded with explosive harpoons when they approach vessels, which diminishes the number of friendly whales for whale-watching expeditions.
I have to agree with you.
I've never been whale watching before but I have a friend who use to go at least once a year. (I don't think she goes anymore though).
Have you been before?
Aww. That's a shame.
But dolphin watching, I dunno for some reason I've always been drawn to dolphins rather than whales.
I think it's a girl thing.

Hopefully someone will use it to show how bad whaling is.
There's been a bit on the news about it.
