How to Stop Whaling
Whales are one of the biggest yet gentlest creatures in the marine ecosystem.

Did they ever save those humpback whales in California?
The media and Ocean mariners did lose track of them and were only hopeful that they made it…I however have located them and they have even caught up with their original pod and their injuries seem to be healing as well as the Marine Biologist anticipated. I planted my findings in their computer network in effort to comfort the Humans that were deeply concerned. 21st Century Man
The whales finally made their way back to the open ocean. Yea!
Are you OK with the fact that Japan is going kill 50 humpback whales next week? Humpback whales should not be in the human food chain. I once saw three of them and it was a religionous expeance for me just to be in their presiance. Who knows a way that we can make the people from Japan know how strongly we feel about this?
I am. I’m not in favor of it, but I can live with it. It’s not the most tragic thing that has happened or will happen in the near future.
humpback whales? We are going to the Big Island at the end of November, during Thanksgiving week..will we see humpback whales, if so, at what time do they tend to come out? Also, is the island pretty busy during Thanksgiving week?
I agree with boomer gal November is a bit early normally but not to say you certainly won’t see one. January and February are the busy months in Hawaii for whale watching. I live on Kauai and am visiting Queensland, Australia at the moment and the humpbacks here are making an abnormally early appearance. Climate change and water temperatures will affect movements.
I have seen them in late November, but normally you don’t see them until late December. We had an incredible whale season this year around Feb., March. There were quite a few whales out there. Thanksgiving is usually packed but with the high airfares it might be different this year.
You may see good number of whales before then though: http://www.sailingcat.com/faq.asp Lots and lots of people visit specifically during Thanksgiving week, so book early! Through in a triathlon or a big concert and it gets packed: http://www.mftsports.com/Events.htm This last year we had The Police and I don’t know what else, it was crowded.
It’s a bit early for the humpbacks; they usually migrate back starting in December. Not sure how busy the resorts are over Thanksgiving. I don’t think it’s especially full.
Why do Humpback Whales travel from North to South every year?
They travel south to have their calves in warm water and then travel north to gain access to richer feeding grounds in cold seas.
why is whaling of humpback whales an issue of concern to citizen? PLEASE HELP? i cant think of how to put it into words.
There gonna be gone Megs….gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
This is a rant under Y!A rules.
Boycotting Japanese products will not help in regards to the slaughter of the Humpback whales. Japan’s government had the audacity to annulled the moratorium on the Humpbacks, knowing the whales are an endangered specie. I can’t fathom that a civilized country could do this. According to Fox, whale meat is already showing up in grocery markets across Japan which is considered a delicacy among the older generation. I normally do not get upset, but the plight of whales and the jungle meat issue have driven me to be more proactive. I sent an E-Mail to the Japanese Fisheries Assoc., and GreenPeace expressing my utter disgust over the massacre of the whales. Like you, I don’t usually get so worked up.
It is very difficult to boycott Japanese products – we are both probably using a computer made in Japan. However, I think the Japanese behaviour is disgusting, I nearly cried when I heard it on the news this morning – watching their smug faces celebrating whilst their murdering ships prepared to set sail – thinking about all those poor whales swimming around,about to be murdered. The Far East in general have a disgraceful record for animal welfare – they are inheritently murdering b*stards.
All civilised people hate whaling, my new car will NOT be Japanese.
