When will we get to read the opposite!?! This is too sad and I can only feel feel and feel for these whales and dolphins. The adage, ' there is lots of fish in the ocean', will have to be changed soon, at the rate we poach!
People of the cruel category, please stop your cruel acts right away!
Thanks for the post!
