Meet the Sea Shepard and the Red Sea


The Sea Shepard Conservation Society is led by Captain Paul Watson. For nearly three decades this society has been trying to protect the world's ocean by putting a stop to slaughtering wildlife. There are 13 volunteers that boarded the ship to help Captain Watson stop the Japanese from hunting whales.  There are also six types of whales: Sperm whale, Minke whale, Blue whale, Right whale, Humpback whale , and Fin whale. The Minke whale and Fin whale are the two popular whales that are hunted in large numbers.The Sea Shepards have done nothing wrong but came peacefully go give the Japanese a message. Doesn't this remind you of an act of Gandhi? Americans must be outraged by the Japanese actions!! All the Japanese had to do was take at least one whale of each species to research on. But taking a couple thousand of whales from one species and killing them all is not right. They also line the whales up and take out their guts. How could Japanese people be so cruel? There are also some pictures that show the whales at the shore with the blood being washed up. The whole ocean is being poluted with blood! I'm sorry if it sounds disgusting but its the facts. Take a look at the picture above, you can see a certain area is red with blood and is being washed up from the sea. Presently, the world has been trying to go green to help the earth but the Japanese have gone red! They are causing more pollution in the oceans and it doesn't seem to bother them. This is why more people need to be aware of this controversial issue . Whales need our help to help save their species.
