When Our Oceans Are Barren; Japanese Atrocities of Whales, Dolphins & Sharks

Posted on by

No, we have a few nations, Japan in particular, that behave with utter disregard to savage, mind numbing killing of sharks just for their fins. Harvesting sharks as a food source is one thing … killing hundreds of thousands of sharks just for their fins and tossing the rest of the carcasses away is criminal waste.

The Japanese apparently feel that all of the oceans fish, sharks, dolphins, and whales are there to feed their voracious appetites for sea food and the rest of the world be dammed. It’s part of their culture, don’t ya know! Continue reading When Our Oceans Are Barren; Japanese Atrocities of Whales, Dolphins & Sharks→

LAUGHING OUT LOUD AT PETA

BRYDE'S WHALE DIES AFTER INGESTING PLASTIC BAGS

Posted on by

Too many people refuse to take the impact of plastic bags, trash, and debris in the oceans seriously.

For some it is as simple as out of sight and out of mind. If they can’t see it (the destruction caused by plastic trash), it cannot possibly be an issue to grapple with. For others, the attitude they present is,”don’t bother me with facts, my mind’s made up!”

I happened across this video of a Bryde’s whale dying after having eaten plastic trash. This was confirmed after the necropsy as this brief clip shows. Continue reading BRYDE'S WHALE DIES AFTER INGESTING PLASTIC BAGS→
