Blog Prompt Assignment 2- Fishy Business

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name is Daniel Lim and I am a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty To Animals. I will be delivering a speech today to raise awareness of whaling in Japan. Nowadays, fishing industries in Japan have used different fishing methods to catch marine creatures. One of the few methods is to use Whaling harpoon .

Back to the main topics, I am going to talk about the cruel acts of these fishing industries. They use weapons like the Whaling harpoon to kill marine lives by shooting out bolts at them.
After catching the creature, some fishing industries would even cut away some parts of the whale that they want and threw the half-dead whale back into the sea! This cruel act is considered illegal by most countries including Japan. From this issue, it reminds me that many restaurants in Japan serve whale delicacies in their restaurant. From the average hunting counts record per year, about 1,330 whales are killed. From what we know, whales are now considered endangered animal species, yet people are still feasting on these marine life. In fact, most of the whale species are endangered now, example : Blue Whale, Grey Whale, Fin Whale, Sei Whale etc.

Associations all over the world are consent about this and had tried many ways to stop the hunting of whales but to no avail. Finally, recently the fishing industries had result to opening fishing farms to rare whales. Hopefully through this way, the whales can increase in numbers and people can stop hunting them. Scarely one day, the whales population will increase and post no treats to the world again. Thank you for listening to my speech.
