[more than 30,000 whales have been killed despite a global ban on commercial whaling since 1986. Harpoons using explosive grenades rarely kill the whales on first blast. They’re hoisted up the side of the ship by the tail with their blowhole underwater, leaving them to drown]

What many of us may not know is it whales, like dolphins, like humans, are mammals. Meaning they need to come up to air to get the oxygen supply, thus they cannot stay underwater indefinitely. And this is not the only way to kill whales. Over the years, certain people have thought of and invented the most unimaginable cruel violent ways to kill whales, dolphins and porpoises. There should be a stop to it already. Haven’t they suffered enough? Their numbers have decreased so much over the years that certain species are already endangered or extinct.
