Dear audience,

I am here today to give a speech regarding the cruelty of whaling in japan.There are four main points why humans should not fish for whales
  • Overfishing fishing of whales has caused the whale population to diminish greatly and now the whale population is endangered.
  • Humans often kill whales faster than they can reproduce.
  • Virtually every whale part utilized in the past can now be substituted by some product that would not require the killing of an animal.
  • Whales are like humans, they can feel pain and have every right to be free.

To conclude my speech, i ask of everyone to imagine yourself as a whale, swimming freely in the ocean.Suddenly, you found yourself trapped in a net with nowhere to run. Then without warning, a few harpoons fly through the air and pierce into your body. You feel pain and try to call for help, but no one comes. Then, you just feel a pang of pain and you black out, never to wake again.

Imagine this and you will feel what whales today feel when they are captured by humans and slaughtered.This ends my speech, thank you.

  1. I share the same perspective as you regarding why humans should not fish for whales. However, every living things is special. You mentioned that almost evety part of the whale utilized in the past can be substituded. which parts are you refering to? Japanese consume whale because it is delicious to them, which other type of living things cannot give the same taste and texture. I hope you could clarify that point.
