Festival for the souls of dead whales 2022

The whale is a majestic giant of the deep. I have seen them in the North Atlantic long ago while I was in the Navy and again migrating South off the West coast as a gringo tourista at large.

I have heard the song of the whale coming through hydrophone though I could not understand what was being said. It was sped up several times before I could even make out the sound itself.

I have wondered just why Japan, Greenland, Norway, and Iceland think all the whales in the ocean belong to them.

I personally find the idea of eating marine mammals repugnant.

They think hanging the word "research" on the side of a ship makes it legal for any level of abuse. For this alone their pirate ships should be sunk on sight.

I think a couple more Hiroshimas and Nagasakis would be a fair lesson to these abusers of those denizens of the oceans.

Today is The Festival for the Souls of the Dead Whales. It happens each December 10.

The day is set aside to memorialize all the souls of the whales who died from whaling operations and other harmful encroachments into their habitats by Japan, Greenland, Norway, and Iceland who should be collectively and severely sanctioned themselves that they might know precisely what it's like.

I feel that whales should be excused from providing economic impact to countries like Japan, Greenland, Norway, and Iceland which should have their fleets sunk with extreme prejudice for their selfish over indulgence in the taking of marine mammals in particular for their own selfish ends.

Boo Japan, Greenland, Norway, and Iceland !
