Whales are amongst the most intelligent marine mammals on earth. The blue whale is the largest animal to ever before exist. In spite of this history, industrial whaling has left the whale species very endangered. Luckily, whaling has been ended in lots of nations, however still exists in some. The influence of this continued whaling endangers the existence of the animals, and if not stopped, may wipe out whales.
One country in specific that has actually been engaging in this inhumane and immoral activity against nature is Japan. Large whale fishing vessels have been dispatched around the oceans of Japan, primarily in the western Pacific Ocean, to hunt down innocent whales and harvest their meat and other parts to be utilized for oil, fertilizer, perfume, shampoo, cleansing soap, gelatin, margarine and other products. Regardless of the usages it can bring, these living creatures really should not have to pay their lives simply for this senseless function.
Sea Shepherd is an organization that says Japan is in violation of the IWC rules on all commercial whaling. They point out that the Oriental public does not support commercial whale hunting, however all the major political parties do. Whale meat supposedly caught for “investigation functions” ends up in the widely recognized Tsukiji fish market, Sea Shepherd points out. They examine this embezzlement of whale meat on a regular basis and try to eliminate whaling in the high oceans as it is occurring.
Marine Shepherd has boats and crews and go out to intervene during whale hunts. This is a dangerous and life-threatening undertaking for Marine Shepherd’s crews, however they continue to go to save the whales from slaughter. As recently as 2010, 3 Ocean Shepherd ships intervened
against unlawful whaling tasks and one boat was purposely rammed and sunk by the Oriental. When the captain attempted to serve an invoice upon the Japanese for his sunken boat, he was taken to a Eastern prison. The Sea Shepherd’s continuing to be companies were not deterred and followed the Oriental fleets for 3 weeks, and not one single whale was killed during that time.
If you are one of the millions of folks who wish to contribute in ending this unlawful task, you can pay a visit to Sea Shepherd – www.seashepherd.org to study more about how you can easily get include and help the business in stopping Oriental whale angling.
Has your town ever been plagued by low flying, migrating midget humpback whales? If so, what was it like?
You like to ask these types of things.
That’s the only thing that ever happens in our town. We now embrace it, holding the Low Flying Migrating Midget Humpback Whale Plague Festival every February 29th on leap years. Then they destroy the town and we all die. Then, in their pity, the bring us back to life and then we rebuild the town
I remember it was a very dark time…and noisy too. But it was so long ago most don’t recall it. Besides, the carnivorous monkeys with top hats and banjos wearing shiny red vests who invaded shortly after get credit for actually destroying the town..
MC Hop ‘n’ Pop stole my answer. Not really. It’s better than anything I could come up with.
yes-so cool
I don’t remember.
Does the thought of humpback whales humping turn you on?
3 tons of pure bliss and 200 gallons of sperm.
Not at all.
Yes, but Sperm whales gross me out… I’m not a woman or a middle aged Japanese man. Look up Humpback Whale mating sounds… it’s awesome.
No. It scares me. Why is the sea so salty?
Where can i find good information on Humpback Whales? My sister is doing a report and she has to know What type of climate It lives in?

start with national geographic
Humpback whales live in several different climates. During the winter (depending on which hemisphere), Humpbacks will migrate to a tropical climate to mate and give birth to their young. Since the food source for Humpbacks does not grow well in a tropical climate, Humpbacks will return to cold waters to feed during the summer months (and after the babies are strong enough to make the journey to these cold waters, which can be thousands of miles away). Some of the tropical places where Humpbacks are common include: Australia, American Samoa, Mexico, The Philippeans, and The Hawaiian Islands. Some of the colder places Humpbacks are common include: The Bering Sea, Southeast Alaska, British Columbia, and anywhere near Antarctica. So the Humback lives in two very different climates for equal parts of the year: tropical and arctic (or antarctic). Hope this helps. Good luck on your report!
how do humpback whales get hurt in stellwagen bank? please resopond quickly im doin a report and i need help
They become “beached” on the rough Bank, abrading their sensitive skin.
i dont know? how?
Were Humpback Whales given that name because Seasluts was already designated for another specie?

Q: How is a walrus like tupperware? A: They both like a tight seal!
The Humpback whales are really shameless, waving their tails seductively at all the tourists with their super-powered binoculars. Just shoot a few harpoon in the vicinity, and the fat floosies will take the hint and dive. I can smell a Seaslut a mile away.
Of course not! That’s just stupid! Humpback Whales is the name of a Celtic independance organisation whose aim is to move the combined counties of Clwyd further South to be just off the Cornish coast where they will throw off the shackles of the English government and become a self governing monarchy ruled by a used but still serviceable rainbow trout called Onion Jones Boyo. Oh! hahaha LOL. He says in a fruitless and sarcastic attempt to bond with the hoi poloi.
How would the exctintion of the Humpback Whale efect the world and the humans in it? I need any information on if the humpback whales went exctinted how it would this effect the rest of the world. What would happen to people? What would happen to the parts of the world they live in? Any extra facts on the humpback whale will also be helpful. Thanks to whoever answer.
Humpback whales are giant vaccuum cleaners of the world’s oceans that require copious amounts of plankton to survive. The extinction of only the humpback may not cause too many global issues as their resources may become exploited by other baleen whales yet if all baleen whales (such as blue, minke, fin) went extinct this could have massive consequences. The ocean is an ecosystem and if whales were removed the amount of plankton in the ocean could increase and even result in an ecosystem collapse. It sounds strange that predation results in ecosystem regulation but in a terrestrial example in the US the reintroduction of the wolf increased the abundance of its prey. There is also the economic problem that this would create. There is a large industry in Australia (where I live) and elsewhere in the world based on the observation of humpback whales through putting tourists on boats. If that couldnt occur a significant amount of money would be lost.
No more Humpback steaks…
