"I think whale hunting should stop. Despite a ban on commercial whaling, they'ri still being hunted for so-called "scientific research". Whales are easy prey as they conj to the surface to breathe. They are killed by harpoon guns, and sometimes they get trapped and drown in nets. These intelligent and magnificent mammals should not die in this way."
