Where Whales Become Friends

Everyone loves whales and we know their names!   (Move your cursor over pictures)

WHALES AND WHALING in 2011 - 2012

Japan, Iceland & Norway will kill 1000's of whales in 2011

Nine humpbacks will be killed by Greenland this year and it is happening now!

Number of humpbacks killed so far this year......8

Protecting whales from whalers was a very strong promise of all US Presidents from Reagan, Bush, Clinton and George W. Bush according to Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd.

And they kept their promises.

This is the first ever year that the US Government, lead by President Obama,

actually betrayed the whales!

US Government Now Supports Commercial Whaling!

It is an almost unbelievable statement, but true.

Scroll down for sites to see real live whales with names and fun personalities.

Salt: A Whale In Danger!

Most people think whaling stopped years ago.

The truth is that whaling never ended.  Thousands of whales are still being killed each year and all species of whales are at risk.

If you want to take a few minutes to help stop whaling, write to your President, Prime Minister, Congressperson and Senators.  Find all the addresses and contact information in the USA at the bottom of this page.

Take a look at some of the whales you need to help:

My name is Dan and I wanted to make a difference.  I founded The Whale Video Company in 1988 and still run it today.

Please read my story about Salt: A Whale In Danger and send it to your friends and family.  You can make a difference with just a few minutes of your time.

If you read it and believe that Salt and all the other whales deserve to live free of the harpoon and exploding grenade, read on as there are things you can do to make a difference.

The Big Lie

Japan is leading the effort to kill as many whales as possible.  They just announced their intention to resume commercial whaling.  It seems that killing over a thousand whales each year under scientific whaling isn't enough.  Japan wants to begin clearing all the whales from all the oceans.

Japan's leaders say that whales are just eating too many fish and that is why the fishing industry is doing poorly.  It couldn't be that thousands of fishing boats are taking fish faster than they can reproduce. It doesn't matter to Japan that the favorite food of whales includes sand eels and plankton, not the species of fish important to humans.

There is one undisputed fact.  Two hundred years ago there were about two million more large whales in the oceans.  Whaling records show that during the last two centuries, two million blues, fins, right whales, humpbacks, sei, minke, bowhead and sperm whales were killed and processed by whalers.

But while these whales were eating and playing and raising their families, the fish populations were enormous!  There was no shortage of cod, swordfish, mackerel or any other species.

The fishing fleets caused the decline in fish.  Period.

Want to help?  No need to send any money.  Just write a simple note to the President and Congress.

Ask them to do everything possible to simply stop the killing of whales.
