  • Tonga receive bribes from Japan every year to vote for a return to full whaling at the International Whaling Commission (IWC)- Wake UP Tonga!! the 1,000,000 dollars you receive from Japan for supporting slaughter and extinction!!! could be made into 100 times this by protecting whales and supporting eco-tourism. The only reason humpbacks still make it as far as Tonga to mate is because other countries protect the whales when migrating.

  • TONGA HAVE VOTED FOR THE RETURN TO FULL SCALE COMMERCIAL SLAUGHTER OF HUMPBACK WHALES!!!!

    kill a whale once and tell your grandchildren the story of whale slaughter -but protect them and photograph them 000' of times and let your grandchildren photograph and experience their beauty themselves in 70 years time.

    TONGA is supporting Japan in the EXTINCTION of Humpback whales!!!

  • who the fuck needs whales any ways its not like anyone sees them around a lot. i say kill em all, whale meat is delicious anyways. SHARPEN UR HARPOONS!!!

  • look how close you got!

  • I had a dream I had a pet whale, lol. It was really amazing - I rode it around. Then a Giant Squid came and shocked it (like a Jellyfish, I'm assuming) and the rest of the dream, was spent nursing the whale back to health. :(

    The worst part was waking up though. haha

  • @urbanangelsince87

    Sorry for late responce. But there aren't any records of a whale killing anyone, except from killerwhales(in marineparks) and spermwhales killed a couple, because guys were throwing spears in them. They are really gentle creatures. They are curious, but won't attack you
