Why Whales Matter and What You can Do About It
Whales are amongst the most intelligent marine mammals on earth. The blue whale is the biggest animal to ever exist. In spite of this history, industrial whaling has actually left the whale varieties incredibly endangered. Thankfully, whaling has been ended in countless countries, but still exists in some. The influence of this continued whaling endangers the existence of the animals, and if not stopped, might wipe out whales.
Whales are unbelievably intelligent creatures. Their tunes are a form of communication that are extraordinary to each species and individual and are used to exchange details. Whales have many behaviors that are comparable to humans; whales raise a single offspring at a time, whales have courting rituals, and whales have even been observed grieving each others deaths. Dolphins and whales are closely related, and numerous of the enthralling behaviors that have actually been observed in dolphins have actually additionally been located in whales. The public raised a massive outcry when tuna fishers hurt dolphin human populations. Like dolphins, whales should not be eradicated for food.
Marine Shepherd is an organization that says Japan is in violation of the IWC rules on all commercial whaling. They point out that the Eastern public does not support commercial whale hunting, but all the major political parties do. Whale meat supposedly caught for “investigation functions” ends up in the popular Tsukiji fish market, Marine Shepherd points out. They investigate this embezzlement of whale meat on a regular basis and try to prevent whaling in the high seas as it is arising.
Seas Shepherd makes usage of state-of-the-art direct-action methods to examine record and take required activities when necessary to make the world informed of what’s truly transpiring and to confront these illegal businesses right as they are hunting the whales. By protecting the biodiversity of the globe’s exquisitely-balanced ocean environment, Ocean Shepherd guarantees the continuity of this marine life for future generations to come.

The boats from Japan left today to go out and murder 50 Humpback whales, What can we do to stop them? Drive our Honda, toyota what ever other Japanise car into the ocean as a protest???? Does anyone have a address to at least send them a letter of protest?
murder only applies to humans. If they eat and use the body for various products, we have no right to tell them they can’t. How would you like a Hindu to tell you that you can’t eat that steak or Big Mac? And, btw, I like my Honda. Runs better and cheaper on gas than most American cars i have had.
well it is really unfair to stop them from doing so it has been a staple for them for hundreds of years you should protest the eskimos to
Perhaps torpedo’s would be effective.
When was the Last Time you used Whale oil in your lamps??
how many white humpback whales are left? im just wondering how many whales are left in the world?? i know theres not many and im do a report on Migaloo, so i just want to know exactly how many white humpbacks are left? please help me! thanks..
http://www.migaloowhale.org/ Facts about Migaloo Other white humpback whales:…Migaloo is the only known occurrence of an all-white humpback whale in the 20th century…. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7519263.stm…A white calf was spotted with a normal humpback mother in Byron Bay two years ago. Experts say the new whale could be the offspring of Migaloo but further tests need to be carried out… Migaloo is an albino humpback whale and not a subspecies of humpback whales. There is not a separate population of white humpback whales, just rare occurrences within the humpback whale specie. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/13006 Humpback Whale…he available population estimates total more than 60,000 animals…

Why do humpback whales migrate in the hawaiian waters!? Please give me a very informative website or lots of details of why the whales migrate here and why its best if they do it here. Be very descriptive! But please answer im tired its late and i need this to finish my homework!
The arctic ocean gets most of its light in the summertime and there is an explosion of algae and plankton. The whales take advantage of that abundance and fatten up. They then migrate to much warmer waters in the winter to give birth to their calves. It is very cold and stormy in the north and not suitable for the calves to be born there. http://seagrant.uaf.edu/news/97ASJ/11.25.97_WhaleMigration.html

Where can i find good information on Humpback Whales? My sister is doing a report and she has to know What type of climate It lives in?
The wikipedia is a great source and so are the other sources The list are endless, try surfing the net with your sister, you can be pretty surprise the information avaliable.
Humpback whales live in several different climates. During the winter (depending on which hemisphere), Humpbacks will migrate to a tropical climate to mate and give birth to their young. Since the food source for Humpbacks does not grow well in a tropical climate, Humpbacks will return to cold waters to feed during the summer months (and after the babies are strong enough to make the journey to these cold waters, which can be thousands of miles away). Some of the tropical places where Humpbacks are common include: Australia, American Samoa, Mexico, The Philippeans, and The Hawaiian Islands. Some of the colder places Humpbacks are common include: The Bering Sea, Southeast Alaska, British Columbia, and anywhere near Antarctica. So the Humback lives in two very different climates for equal parts of the year: tropical and arctic (or antarctic). Hope this helps. Good luck on your report!

How many humpback whales could Oprah buy? I saw a skit on one of Dane Cook’s comedy shows about Oprah, and he mentioned her giving away whales. I know this was just a joke, but I wonder if she could actually afford to buy a whale, and if so, how many?
