Whaling!


Hiya everyone!! How are you? Fine I hope, I'm good :)

Right so, what am I to talk about today? You guessed it! 'Whaling' . Whaling is a MAJOR issue that many have tried to stop. Of course, these beautiful creatures are millions of years old. Actually there have been whales swimming away in our oceans for over 50 million years!! But their numbers declined dramatically over the last 100+ years, as they have been hunted by man to make many different products aswell as for eating. Next month the International Whaling Comission (IWC) meets in Chile. Where the Japanese will try to convince them to let them have full rights back to start whaling AGAIN! This is an issue that really gets to me. What kind of people would want to hurt these absolutely AMAZING animals?? So, if you have a soft spot for these gental giants why not find some kind of petition to sign? Or even better click on this link so that you can create your own oragami whale wich will be sent to the meeting to show how much people care for these animals!!
