Dear Editor,
I am writing to tell you that I disagree very strongly about the whole topic of whaling, I think that it should stop at once because of the amount we are killing is unbelievable, and I would hate to say it but if we keep on going at this rate, there is a chance that the whale could face extinction, I only found out the other day that there are an estimated 5000 whales killed every year.
Firstly once you have killed a whale it takes a longer time to replace it, when females have babies every 1 to 3 years and they are pregnant with the baby from 10 months for a smaller whale and for the bigger whales 16 months, so if people just keep on taking and taking it is going to take longer for all whale species to repopulate.
Secondly the way the whales are hunted and killed is absolutely disgusting and cruel, the explosive harpoons should be banned, what they do to the whale when they are shot is terrible, as some of you may not know when a explosive harpoon is shot into a whale, first it punctures the whales skin making extreme loss of blood and secondly it explodes all the insides of their bodies personally I think it is pure filth.
Thirdly killing whales also leads to other animals such as birds, fish, seals, krill and penguins overpopulating which effects the balance of the world, most hunting has restrictions and so does whaling,they are only allowed to hunt a certain amount each year normally the number changes but some people hunt illegally and we have no idea how many whales they are taking every year, this is probably the reason why there is a problem.
All I am trying to say here is that we should majorly slow down or stop whaling because I am sure no one wants to see this beautiful animal become extinct, and knowing that we could of changed
