Humans are the worst predators on this planet. We are also the most cruel with dog and cock fighting etc. We are even predators to the worlds young children. And then there are wars. I can go on and on. We need to evolve to a more civilized and concious people. Everyone needs to really see what is going on everywhere. Love and Peace for all creatures will including each other will make a world we can be proud to leave to our children.

Hi, Bamboo Whalers is an interesting documentary film project about the last traditional whaling community in Indonesia.
Nowadays this community showed a very controversial behavior. With this documentary we would like to investigate the real facts between the traditional and organized (for tourists) whaling in Lamalera, the last whaling village in Indonesia.

Humans call themselves civilized yet it is so sad that civilized people can be so brutally barbaric and uncaring about living creatures. We need to be civilized enough to learn to remove violence from our human nature. Someday we will be pointing fingers at others when there are no more of these beautiful creatures left for us to encounter as they will be extinct in the not too distant future if we continue to allow such atrocities to continue.

I AGREE

Well said Sir

I love all living things this is an out rage & a disgrace to God to do this to the once beautiful world he gave us

How sad God must be with us. Humans are so cruel, I pray that these people feel what they are doing, and if not there actions should be directed back at them. Karma will catch up with them.........

God feels their pain and hears them as he hears us.

This is so sad and needs to stop

They are all standing in a large of blood as if it is a day paddling at the beach!! Sick cruel twats!!!!

Annie Lakidis

It's important to me because all creatures have a place in the Eco system each just as important as ours if we continue to kill off the animals what will be next when they are gone humans
