What a wonderful sight to see: Whale

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/ 8126237.stm

How lovely to see this majestic creature go about his business and the Aussies protecting him from being hounded.

lets hope the Japs stop whaling too eh - totally unnecessary! Nosha123 (Tue 17:00 30/Jun/09)

Good for the Australians. I don't see, in practice, how they can enforce this protection, but give them points for trying. What is it with the Japanese and whales anyway?

yeah - then haul them on board your boat by the harpoon... it sickens me to see those beautiful whales butchered alive...

Who gave them the right to kill them and to do that!
Sharks too - cutting off their fins and chucking them back in to drown.

The outgoing chair of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has suggested whale conservation could benefit from ending the commercial hunting ban.

Dr William Hogarth's remarks came at the end of this year's IWC meeting, which saw pro- and anti-whaling nations agree to further compromise talks.

Wow! What a beautiful creature Nosha. I hope it stays where it is protected. Trouble is these creatures travel extreme distances so you never know where its going to end up.

Peacocks are beautiful
Siamese cats are beautiful
Pumas are beautiful
Birds of Paradise are beautiful

Whales are patently not beautiful.

They are the Beth Ditto of the animal kingdom.

(Still don't agree with them being hunted though).
