Save The Fin Whales

EPITOME OF AWESOME.

In the early days of whaling, Fin Whales were safe from the hunters. Their rapid speed enabled them to become a low priority for whalers. However the advent of steam-powered boats and harpoons that exploded on impact took the upper hand away from the Fin Whale. It went on to become the most hunted cetacean in history. 725,000 recorded kills of Fin Whales were made in the twentieth century, causing them to become endangered around the world, and in particular in the Southern and Atlantic Oceans. Whaling of the species reached its peak between 1935 and 1970 when in excess of 30,000 animals were taken annually. Following a morartorium on hunting of Fin Whales enforced since 1985, the Northern and Southern Pacific Oceans populations have recovered somewhat. There may also be some recovery in Antarctic waters. However all populations worldwide remain listed as endangered species on the International Conservation Union Red List. Today about 10 Fin Whales are killed each year by whalers on the west coast of Greenland, under an agreement with the International Whaling Commission to allow subsistence whaling in the area.

Other cetacean dangers caused by humans, including catching in fishing nets, collisions with ships and pollution, are relatively rare in Fin Whales on account of their size, speed and position high in the food chain.

I've signed it. The ruthless killing of fin whales is curel, unjustified and needs to stop.

I agree. It breaks my heart to hear about poor and innocent animals being killed because of man's greed

Especially when I recall that two-thirds of whale meat is never eaten :angry: ! A claim that they're killed for food would, therefore, hold no water.

I've signed it. I COMPLETELY agree with you! If there are any Japanese anti-whaling groups, I'll support them.

Apparently, they don't see whales as special or endangered. That's total rubbish!

Seriously now, I wonder why they do it? Almost everyone is against animal hunting

I love animals and all, but I think it's ok, as long as the animal is used and not wasted. I personally would not kill an animal by hunting (maybe on a videogame, but not in real life).

I disagree; I would never kill an animal for any reason whatsoever

In some ways I wish people would breed meat that wasn't part of an animal, but this isn't natural, and I'm sure many people would consider it an immoral thing to do.

I know, I wish someone could too, and you didn't have to kill the animal.
