Why whaling is wrong, wrong, wrong

[velvetcat]

Humpback whales are the first baleen whales known to form lasting bonds, according to scientists who study the giant sea mammals. This tells us something new about the social and emotional intelligence of our massive cousins, and also gives us one more reason why whaling is wrong. "Individual female humpbacks reunite each summer to feed and swim alongside one another in the Gulf of St Lawrence, off Canada [...] The finding raises the possibility that commercial whaling may have broken apart social groups of whales."

Female whales form bonds and friendships with other female whales, not males.
