Videos of animals

Video 1: Hunting whales

I love whales, i think they are one of the most majestic and beautiful animals that exist, as they are one of the biggest mammals in the world, is for this that i hate the activity exerting certain groups of people that hunt the whales. i think this horrible and bloody activity as seen in the video, this hidden behind lies, such as the Japanese government to say they do it for research, think these people deserve nothing good in this life, they are contibuting to the extinction of these magnificient animals, beings who deserve to live more than they. I hate the hunt of whales!!
