Save the Whales & Dolphins Club (PIXEL BOXES! GET YOURS NOW)

Ooh, how good! People trying to get the word out about The Cove. <3
I am definately against dolphin hunting ((especially just for fun)) and eating dolphin meat, but you have to understand that them eating dolphins is kind of like us eating deer or rabbit or even fish. I do eat deer, but rabbit and fish I don't, nor dolphin. >< Yuck, but they shouldn't eat a lot of dolphin meat to where they go extinct. That IS cruel then. Especially against the fact that, that very dolphin being eaten could have saved a human's life. :l

I think that, since my cousin and I are going to start a youtube channel to broadcast random stuff on, I am going to tell our followers (if we even get any, lol) about The Cove and what is happening to dolphins and whales in the world. :-j

Im against that too. I dont understand how people could even hunt/eat dolphins its just so sad!
I really do think thats a good idea about using youtube to show how the dolphins are being treated. Like thousands of people get on it so im sure that would get the word out.

Yesterday, I watched Free Willy, and it makes me sad how some people could do that to poor creatures ...
And I'm sure it happens all the time. It's sickening.

Good for you Blasie! That will be really helpful!
My friend and I share a youtube account, be I don't think we are very popular or have many followers. But if we do get some followers I will definitely put links talking about The Cove and stuff

Well actually on Save Japan Dolphins website they have a FAQ page and another page to learn aboutt he slaughter and why it happens.
So I have read over both a couple of times and it says that dolphin meat isn't even valueable to the Japanese like whale meat is (not saying that commercial whaling is right...). Dolphin meat contains HIGH levels of mercury which is toxic to us. And the Japanese sell the poisonous dolphin meat! The reason the Japanese said they were killing dolphins is not for their meat, but because they are pests, since they eat all of their fish!!
I mean dolphins need to eat too! What else do they want dolphins to eat?!

it's a shame how we think we are entitled to everything this world has to offer. it's not just human's fish, it's EVERYONE"S fish, animals included. and if the japanese want to poison themselves, that's their decision. i think it's their dictator who makes all the decisions about this stuff, maybe if they had a democracy things would change? i dont know...

i just hate them for whaling in supposed PROTECTED AREAS. and they say it's for research? i KNOW that's bull. they dont need 10,000 dead whales for research !!! i love those guys from that show whale wars, yes, they're extreme, but that's the only way to stop it. japan's not going to care how many letters we write them, it's when we actually DO something that they'll listen. i know not all japanese people approve of whaling, but they should stand up too, you know? and i love the people who already have.

macy132 I totaly agree! You have a good point, dolphins are entitled to fish too!
I have watched whale wars for so long and it breaks my heart! Those people have such a big heart to risk their lives out at sea to help stop commercial whaling <3 Really bless their hearts! I don't know when whale wars is on anymore so I stopped watching...

[juni.purrs]

Oh my gawd. So the Japanese think that the fish is their's? >.<" They need some real info beat down into their heads. :/ That just makes me so mad and upset, I just may go insane on the first person I see who is from Japan. o3o

Oh, Whale Wars. <3 I use to love that show, but like you, Christine, I have no idea when it's on anymore. I hope nothing bad happened to them, or I hope they are still going on with fighting for the whales. I would join them when I am old enough, but I don't think I'd be as strong as they are. o-o Not just phisically, either.
(Oh, and prettypiek, remember not to double post. ;3 Just edit your last post. Thank you.)

(hi sorry i havent been on recently homework and a holiday)
so what is whale wars about?
also i was in my science test and i picked a book out to read when i finshed and got guiness book of world records 2000 it showed the most expensive move of a whale and it was the star from free willy they moved him from a cramped enclosure to a massive enclosure where fish could get in and he could eat them LD he seemed so happy and this information i found on wikipedia

Keiko, whose name means "lucky one" in the Japanese language,[1] was captured near Iceland in 1979 and sold to the Icelandic aquarium in Hafnarfjörður. Three years later he was sold to Marineland in Ontario where he first started performing for the public and developed skin lesions indicative of poor health. He was then sold to Reino Aventura (now named Six Flags Mexico), an amusement park in Mexico City, in 1985. He was the star of the movie Free Willy in 1993.

The publicity from his role in Free Willy led to an effort by Warner Brothers Studio to find him a better home. Donations from the studio and Craig McCaw led to the establishment of the Free Willy Keiko Foundation in February 1995. With donations from the foundation and millions of school children, the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon spent over $7 million to construct facilities to return him to health with the hope of returning him to the wild.

This is teh bit where i started to cry

Keiko died after beaching himself in Taknes Bay, Norway while under the care of personnel from Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society on December 12, 2003, at 26 years of age. Pneumonia was later determined as his probable cause of death. Following requests from fans of the orca and Free Willy, the Oregon Coast Aquarium held a memorial service for him on February 20, 2004. 700 people attended the service, during which Thomas Chatterton, a veterinary chaplain said, "Keiko was not one of our kind, but nonetheless was still one of us."There is a memorial site for Keiko set up by the locals in Halsa, Norway. Norwegian school children built a cairn of stones to mark the spot where the body was buried.
