Sea Shepherd

Today at Enrich a man named Grant came in to tell us all about whaling and protecting whales and other sea animals and also about his experience in saving sea animals in the Antarctic. Grant is a part of a group called Sea Shepherd, Grant talked about all of the whales and sea animals that Sea Shepherd has saved and all the whales the Japanese have hunted down and killed in a year. Grant had a lot of things to say and one of those things were about how the Japanese kill the whales, it's very sad. The Japanese put a hook onto the whales with an explosive device  down their mouth to make the whale die and that will make the whale drown in it's own blood, I know sad, BUT, just to make this even worse they shoot the whales to make sure they're dead. The last thing Grant told us was that they stay out at sea for 90 days and sometimes they don't shower for 20 days. YUCK! I couldn't do that! Here is a picture of a Blue Whale
