1400頭鯨魚之死 - 生態環境討論

Over 20,000 whales have been killed since commercial whaling was banned
by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1986.
Why? Because a loophole allows any nation to issue itself a permit to kill
any number of whales "for the purposes of scientific research."
After they have finished their "research" they are allowed to sell
the whale meat in supermarkets.

嗯 ~ 假借科學之名行商業之實 ~
不只是鯨豚 到處都是案例啊

Ex. 某著名南部國立博物館(有展過小白鯨的那棟=P)
就大剌剌採珊瑚來賣 (還在館內加工 ㄈ館長好行啊)

Thank you for receiving Animals and Environment Alerts from Care2 and for
caring about the future of the whale population.
Please take action today to stop the use of "scientific" whaling.

Commercial whaling during the last century decimated almost all of the
world's whale populations - between 1925 and 1975,
it is estimated that more than 1.5 million whales were killed in those
50 years alone.

Despite being largely protected from hunting during the last 30 years,
whales have not yet recovered from the commercial hunting of the last two
centuries. Whales have slow birth rates, which means they are slow to
rebound from human exploitation. Think about this: there are only 300 right
whales remaining. Even small-scale whaling could cause this magnificent
species to go extinct. Every effort must be made to protect whales from
extinction. Please take action today.

嗯 k-species的壞處
生得慢 族群復原力奇差
plus 太聰明了...具備太多感情
我真的覺得人和生物間的感情才是問題所在...
哎...

不過你要怎麼解決
總是會有人還是想吃啊
(或許發展養鯨技術吧? or基因技術再跑快一點 做人工培養的"鯨肉"?)

Japan engages in "scientific" whaling even though only 11% of Japanese
adults support the killings. Now, Iceland has announced a three-year
"scientific" whaling program that failed to meet the approval of the
IWC's Scientific Committee because it failed to demonstrate any plausible
use for this type of research. Help prevent the senseless killing of more
whales by taking action today.

Your action today is an important step to protecting the fragile whale
population.

Thank you for caring,

鯨豚畢竟還是聰明又可愛 名氣又大
大家都喜歡 這麼多人關心
下場還是這樣

那其他物種咧?
