Whales - Dolphins - Porpoises Marine mammals live in all oceans Whales are no fish - they give birth Whales have to breath in air Whale babies have to learn the language Whale mothers take good care Whales talk to each other Know more about Cetaceans = whales + dolphinsRead our Whale information![]() Humpback whale breaching in the northern Atlantic ocean ![]() ![]() 80 species of mammals are classified as whales There are whales with teeth = toothed whales and there are baleen whales- all dolphins have teeth Our oceans are endangered. If our oceans die, many humans will also die. Even now, whales are still being slaughtered, even now dolphins and whales still end up in dragnets. ever greater impurification (pollution) reduces the numbers of ocean creatures; reduces the sources of nourishment which multitudes of humans have utilized for many thousands of years. To be sure, most of the nations of the Earth united in asserting an international prohibition of whale-hunting, although Japan, Norway and the Russians persist in their practice of slaughtering whales. Also yet today in Denmark's Faroe Islands, year after year Grind-whales are still slaughtered in great numbers. Iceland also continues whale-hunting under the cover claim of science during which time 14000 whales were killed "for purposes of scientific research." What is happening in Europe? Ever more fishing fleets are outfitted with malicious drag-nets, in whose meshes the mammals *drown*, because they cannot swim up to the surface to breath in air. Six hundred Italian ships put to sea each year in the Mediterranean to catch swordfish -- but only 18% of the animals killed in their nets are swordfish. 82 % among which 8000 striped dolphins per year (or 'collateral damage?' These mammals, found hanging either dead or critically injured in the nets, are simply tossed back into the ocean. International Nature conservation organizations are attempting to close ranks into a global network against this senseless murder of our oceans. We try to give nature-lovers the chance to visit whales and dolphins in their "home" habitat- - in our oceans. Whales and dolphins have developed their brains for thirty million years; humans for only one hundred thousand. Let us pose the question: what damage have whales during the thirty million years of their "conscious" existence on earth caused? Were it not for humans, would the seas still be as they once were- populated by beings living alongside one another in a natural balance. Ships' radar and channel-tunnels, hydrofoils and orientation systems of whales, contribute heavily to the stranding of many whales and dolphins which are often crushed by their own weight. Humans have long reported encounters with dolphins which, if unexplainable, are undoubtedly abundant. Repeatedly and persistently, reports are heard from diverse witnesses that they have experience feelings of overall emotional turmoil, joy, elation, and/or mortal sadness -- however, in all cases "different" after such an encounter. It is indisputably true that an extraordinary affinity has existed, indeed since darkest prehistory, between dolphins and humans. There have even been intense friendships recorded – between individual, free-living dolphins and humans. There have been countless reports from mariners who were warned of reefs or otherwise rescued from other dangers. Well-known also are many cases from all over the world of drowning humans carried to shore by dolphins. It has also been attested that dolphins behave totally differently with pregnant women or mentally-impeded children. than with otherwise 'normal' humans. And in the long history of relations between dolphin and human, it has never been reported that a human was attacked by a dolphin, or was killed by one. Dolphins have a special intelligence, one which we humans have until today not comprehended, since "intelligence" is purely a human concept BR> which primarily has to do with human understanding,. with human "thinking." Humans can communicate with dolphins and whales, But unfortunately most humans do not understand BR> these air-breathing occupants of the sea. Some people are able to feel what the dolphins try to communicate, but what place is there in science for "feeling?" |
