Save Endangered Marine Mammals! Whales, dolphins, seals Save from hunters! Sea cows were knocked out In the world for the sake of profit - They don't bite And they don't defend well. Whales, loyal to their habits, Do not attack first. And, although they are huge, But in the sea they are very modest.

Let's all say no to their merciless extermination. So that whales, dolphins and seals live nearby for many years.

They are kind and cheerful, Calm, give people joy. Worthy of the highest praise, But there are not many of them left.


Whales do not cry when they die, But they die in silence, Silently dispersing the waves, And going to the depths. They are powerful like icebergs. They are like mountains. More menacing than any gray cloud, But like children, old people They are helpless and pitiful. Blocking the back of children, They will take harpoon and sticks, They will destroy the ancient reef. Protecting their babies, Whales change fear into anger... Whales do not cry when dying, Whales are submissive to silence.

Unique animals - gray whales - are listed in the Red Book. They were mercilessly exterminated, starting from the 16th century, first by Japanese, and then by European, American and Korean whaling ships.

At the end of the 19th century, their number before the start of fishing did not exceed 2,000.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the number of the Okhotsk-Korean population of gray whales in the Sea of ​​Japan was approximately 2.5-3 thousand individuals (Sobolevsky, 1984).

The current population size is about 10 times lower and is estimated at 250 heads.




Whales, dolphins and seals are a rather peculiar group of marine animals that have adapted well to external environment . They have adapted to living in different climatic zones - arctic and antarctic, boreal and even subtropical. They can be found singly, in small scattered groups and in large herds.


The sea cow, which had many chances of becoming domesticated, was unwisely exterminated shortly after its discovery by man.

The herd of these herbivorous animals existed in the shallow waters around Bering Island and hardly exceeded one or two thousand heads. Thanks to their exceptional credulity, these animals were destroyed, it is believed, within 27 years.


Basically, people used subcutaneous fat from Steller's cow, which was equal in thickness to the width of the palm. This fat was white color turned yellow in the sun. "The smell and taste are very pleasant and the taste is much superior to the fat of marine and domestic animals. This fat can be stored even on the hottest days, does not go out and does not stink.

The meat is red, denser than beef, it does not differ in taste from it, it remains odorless for a long time on hot days, even if it is full of worms everywhere ... Cow's milk is fat and sweet, thick and tastes like sheep's.


They are like ships on the sea, Smart, brave and light. Here the waves boldly cut Their blue fins!

Put down the harpoon, tramp! Today is a day without river blood! And learn to love nature, the crown of creation, MAN!

On February 19, the whole world celebrates World Whale Day. This day is considered the day of protection not only for whales, but for all marine mammals. The start was made in 1986, when, after 200 years of merciless extermination, the International Whale Commission imposed a ban on whale fishing. It is still in effect today and means that the hunting of large whales, as well as the trade in whale meat, is prohibited throughout the world.

Marine mammals combine animals of various lengths and body weights. Here you can meet small seals and dolphins, whose weight does not exceed 50 kg, and large giants, such as the blue whale, whose weight can reach 160 tons.

Gray whales feed on bottom animals. Amphipods, annelids and molluscs play an important role in the diet of whales, while fish play a secondary role. The ability of whales to loosen sandy-silt soil with a keeled ridge allows animals to extract food items that are buried in the surface layers. At the beginning of the 20th century, the number of the Okhotsk-Korean population of gray whales in the Sea of ​​Japan was approximately 2.5-3 thousand individuals (Sobolevsky, 1984). The current population size is about 10 times lower and is estimated at 250 heads.

Will gray whales stay off the coast of Sakhalin or disappear altogether? Today, this question is being asked by many residents of Sakhalin and the Kuriles. It is known that unique animals - gray whales - are listed in the Red Book. They were mercilessly exterminated, starting from the 16th century, first by Japanese, and then by European, American and Korean whaling ships. At the end of the 19th century, according to scientists, their number before the start of fishing did not exceed 2,000. And although in 1946 the International Whaling Commission took the gray whale under its protection and banned its fishing, many people ignored the law. By the end of the 1960s, the population of gray whales was considered almost extinct, however, the sea giants managed to survive. In the 1980s, they were discovered on the Sakhalin shelf.

The life of fur animals
fur farms
Cramped cages with a slatted floor cut paws
Cannibalism: Animals eat each other.
The air is poisoned by the fumes of faeces and urine.
In summer, about 10% of animals first suffer from
nausea and then die from the heat.
Cruel treatment
(cut off finger)
to take an analysis
blood, etc.).

Fur and leather production
In the conditions of a fur farm, foxes live 8 months in cramped conditions.
cells.
Minks on fur farms are kept without water, while
as in nature they spend 60 - 80% of their time in water.
Throwing back and forth, constant fear. Madness.
30% of animals die before they grow winter fur.
Massacre. The easiest way - animals are pushed into
a box where the exhaust gases of the tractor motor are supplied.
Death occurs within 30 minutes. Another way to kill
- electric shocks through the entire body of the animal - from the tongue to
anus, or a broken neck.
Unfortunately, these scenes are the reality of the beginning of the third
millennium.

Death on fur farms
Passing current through the anus or genitals
bodies
Gassing
Injections of poison and other substances (paralyzing,
alcohol, insecticides, etc.)
Fracture of the cervical vertebrae or skull,
chest crush
Often - animals are simply stunned and from the living
skinned
to get broadtail, pregnant sheep
open the belly and skin the fetus
The result is slow and
painful death in agony

Everything is ambiguous
Dogs and cats. Skins are processed in China
cats and dogs.
The dogs' throats are cut open, they are placed on the gutter
and wait for them to bleed and die - about
1000 animals per night in one slaughterhouse!
Cats are caught with a noose around the neck and attached to the ceiling
cells. 5 minutes moaning animal twitches in the noose,
waiting for death. Other cats are forced to watch in
waiting for your own death.
In Europe, dog fur is sold under camouflage
names: "Steppe wolf", "Gae-Wolf", "Asian
wolf", "Chinese wolf".
Are you sure that your collar or trim on your coat
not made from the skin of this particular animal?

Facts about traps
From 15 to 30% of the furs entering the market,
obtained by hunting with traps.
Since the beginning of 1996 in European countries and many
states of the United States, this type of fishing is officially prohibited,
but in Canada, Russia and Alaska 60 million
animals are still dying this terrible death.
90% of the animal species caught in the trap are
to those that hunters do not need, and those simply
throw out the cripples to die slowly.
For the sake of fur fashion, 50
million minks, 8 million foxes, and
countless raccoons, weasels, nutrias,
sables and other fur-bearing animals.

The trap is a death machine
steel teeth slam shut on the paw (muzzle, tail,
wing), crushing bones, muscles (as if our limb
sharply slammed the door with metal teeth).
Beavers die of suffocation when trapped underwater.
Birds and squirrels fall into traps in trees and for days
hang in the air on crushed paws, wings and neck.
Animals can bite off their paws and die from loss.
blood, gangrene and infections.
Being in a trap for several days, animals die from
cold or hunger.
In order not to damage the fur, animals are beaten on the head,
crush their chests, twist their necks, or strangle them.
If a domestic or other non-fur animal falls into the trap
animal, hunters maim, kill them or just
thrown away, doomed to a slow death.

Harm to the environment
Feed and excrement. For one
the only fur coat from a fur farm
to be produced, transported
and feed 3.3 tons of food, dispose of
about 1 ton of waste - feces, urine, blood.
Chemical substances used in
processing skins, make a worn fur coat
poisonous garbage.
Faux fur coat requires at 66
once less cost energy than
natural.

So,
Obtaining fur - constant torment and blood
animals during life and death.
Fur is a nightmare for the environment. Receipt
fur pollutes environment, because for
hides and skins use harmful chemicals.
Fur has become a symbol of luxury rather than a
protection from the cold. Fur coats keep us warm
and coats made of faux fur, and products made of
leatherette are not inferior in beauty and
elegance to products made of genuine leather.
Isn't the price too high
do we pay for a fur coat?

Animal protection movement
Success in fur ban and closure
fur farms have already come to Switzerland, Austria,
Holland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England.
Norway and Sweden are on the verge of such bans.
A global ban is a matter of time. Animals -
not objects, but living sentient beings. On them
the laws of conservation of life must be applied and
her respect.
REMEMBER: every fur item purchased
supports the fur industry, that is, dooms to
martyrdom and death of millions of animals!
Together we can put an end to this. Refuse
from buying natural fur and leather!

They refused to work with
natural furs
And many other designers and fashion houses

They declared denial
use of fur
As well as other brands and stores.

Cavemen don't have a choice
it was, but we have it!

Once seen, it's hard to forget
cruelty and pain
If every woman, putting on her fur
fur coat, heard the cry of suffering and pain
animal,
If everyone could see "the way
obtaining "fur with their own eyes -
the consumption of natural fur products
and the skin would decrease at times.
Remember: the truth is hidden

True

Brigitte Bardot

Many designers,

As long as people are

And, indeed, the one who

February 19 - World Marine Mammal Day (Whale Day). It is considered a day to protect not only whales, but also all marine mammals and other living creatures of the seas and oceans. This day has been celebrated since 1986, when the International Whale Commission imposed a ban on whale fishing. It is still in effect today and means that the hunting of large whales, as well as the trade in whale meat, is prohibited throughout the world. Every year on this day, various conservation groups hold actions to protect whales and other marine mammals. Often environmentalists come together and dedicate this day to the protection of one unique species that is in mortal danger.

baleen whales On the upper jaw, from 360 to 800 long (from 20 to 450 cm) horny plates, called "whalebones", located across the gums, develop with a whalebone. The inner edge and top of each plate are split into thin and long bristles, forming a kind of thick sieve , or a filter that filters out planktonic mollusks, crustaceans and small fish from the water. On the snout there are single vibrissa hairs that serve for touch.


WHALES Humpback whale Humpback whales sometimes swim up to ships and play around them. This contributes to the dulling of their caution. A strongly pronounced parental instinct helped the predatory extermination of these animals. Humpback whales do not have echolocation and cannot timely determine the location of fishing nets and often die in them.

WHALES Blue whale As a result of whaling, almost exterminated. An adult blue whale consumes 1 tonne of krill, which forms the basis of its diet. Swimming through a colony of krill, whales swallow colossal masses of these crustaceans along with hundreds of tons of water. The krill is then filtered using a tongue that acts as a piston that pushes the water through the huge, sieve-like structures (whalebones) hanging from the palate. The thickness of the whale's tongue exceeds 3 m, and the weight is more than that of an elephant.


In the recent past practical value cetaceans for humans was quite large. Almost all whale organs were used to produce food and technical products. Fat was boiled from subcutaneous fat and skeleton, which was then processed into margarine, lubricants, technical and distilled glycerin, soap, theatrical makeup, washing powder, etc. Polymerized fat was used to make linoleum and printing ink. Spermaceti of sperm whales served as a raw material for the production of cosmetic creams and lipsticks, as well as lubricants. The boiled bones, viscera and parts of the muscles were processed into fertilizer (fat) and fodder meal for livestock and poultry. Gelatin and glue were obtained from the protein part of whale blubber. Before the development of plastics production, whalebone was used to make springs for sofas and mattresses, corsets, brushes, fans, etc. Sperm whale teeth were used for carvings. Meat in canned, salted or fresh form was used as a food product. Vitamin A was extracted from the liver of whales; from the endocrine glands (pancreas and goiter), medicines were made (campolone, insulin, etc.). Whaling


In defense of cetaceans Excessive fishing has had a detrimental effect on the number of cetaceans, bringing many members of this order to the brink of extinction. Many cetaceans are listed in the International Red Book. Currently, commercial whaling is prohibited by the moratorium of the International Commission on the Regulation of Whaling and the laws of most countries and is carried out to a limited extent only by Norway, Iceland and Japan, as well as some aboriginal peoples as one of the traditional occupations.

"the best way to express our gratitude to the dolphins would be to leave them alone. In many ways, they undoubtedly surpassed us, if only because they do not need anything from us.

Use of Dolphins During the Vietnam War, dolphins were used as combat units. In other words, killers. Their duties included fighting enemy submarine saboteurs. The dolphins either killed those by hitting them with poisoned stilettos, or ripped off their breathing apparatus from their faces, and sometimes simply pushed the sailors who were on the ships to the surface under the sights. The US military has used dolphins for military purposes.


Psychic dolphins The ancient Greek singer Orion, who was thrown overboard by the pirates, was picked up by dolphins and brought to the shore... Dolphins help fishermen drive fish into nets. And the dolphin Pelorus Jack, so nicknamed by English sailors, has been guiding ships through the dangerous strait in New Zealand for 30 years, like a real pilot. A special law was issued in his defense.


Dolphins-rescuers Once a passenger ship was wrecked, and the survivors saw with horror how they were surrounded by a flock of sharks. But now a flock of dolphins quickly rushed over to the open sea. They dispersed the sharks and even helped weakened people stay afloat until help arrived. After all, they themselves breathe air and often help a wounded comrade to stay on the water ... There are many such stories associated with these amazing inhabitants of the seas.


Psychic Dolphins Why communication with dolphins gives such amazing results, no one knows. But some scientists believe that dolphins influence humans psychically. Moreover, dolphins as psychic healers are much stronger than any human psychic


Miracle Mammals But real scientific research has been ongoing ever since whales began to be protected. Scientists continue to discover amazing facts about the life of these sea ​​giants. For example, researchers recently discovered that humpback whales "communicate" in a language with a clear grammatical structure. In terms of complexity, the "speech" of whales is not inferior to the human one. Using a computer program, scientists have discovered a hierarchical syntax in the language of humpback whales, in which words are combined into phrases, and phrases into sentences. This syntax is present only in human speech. If scientists can decipher the language of these animals, they may be able to find out why whales make navigational errors when stranded.


On the brink of extinction About a quarter of the planet's whales and dolphins are on the verge of extinction. Such data were presented in the report of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. About 10 percent of these species fell into the category of endangered or critically endangered - higher categories danger. Experts stressed that the reality could be even worse, as more than half of the cetaceans (44 species) could not be collected enough data to evaluate.
