Most whale photos you see show whales in this beautiful blue water - it's almost like space.

Remove the predators, and the whole ecosystem begins to crash like a house of cards. As the sharks disappear, the predator-prey balance dramatically shifts, and the health of our oceans declines.

Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can.

I am a woman that defends animals, right, left, and in the centre. Animals aren't political.
