New morning,fresh start for me this morning,so,ready to go at it again.I have 2 stories for you.Iceland has started their whaling season overnight.Giants of the deep will die ones again,Iceland has set a maximum quota of 100 minke whales that can be killed during the whaling season, which usually runs from May to late September.I also submitted a YouTube clip.It's a beautiful protest song against whaling.Trust me,if you take the time to watch and listen to the lyrics,it will get to you.I get tears in my eyes each time I hear this song.Let us think about how the giants of the deep are suffering by the hands of humans.What are we doing??? Hugs Claudia *For the Oceans*

The sharks are longer on this earth than we are.Are the ultimate predators in the oceans.By movies and miseducation they are profiled as killers,think about the movie Jaws.Many people think sharks are bad and need to be killed.And they are,by the millions ! Millions of dollars circulate due to the shark finning industry.Not even mention the many sharks that are killed for sports,are killed in long line fishing,and pollution.Many humans are greedy,ignorant and Apathic towards sharks and so many other species in this world. Sharks are doomed if Governemnts don't stand up for them. Hugs Claudia *For the Oceans*
