WE’RE KILLING THE OCEANS: Dead whale with 1,000 plastic pieces in stomach found in Indonesia

HELP ENLIGHTEN YOUR FELLOWS. BE SURE TO PASS THIS ON. SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON IT.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP THE PLANET & ITS VULNERABLE CREATURES TODAY?
Through our malicious neglect, large-scale ocean abuse, and self-centeredness, epitomised in our capitalistic practices, we  are simply murdering these animals.

A dead whale that washed ashore in eastern Indonesia had a large lump of collected plastic waste in its stomach, including flip-flops and 115 drinking cups, a park official has said, causing concern among environmentalists and government officials in one of the world’s largest plastic-polluting countries.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive dump of floating garbage in the Pacific Ocean. We contribute to it everyday by littering and using un-biodegradable materials. Our trash is taken downstream from rivers into the ocean, where currents sweep it to the closest patch.

Whale Shows AMAZING Appreciation After Being Freed From Fishing Nets

Michael Fishbach, co-founder of The Great Whale Conservancy (GWC), narrates his encounter with a young humpback whale entangled in local fishing nets.

At first, the animal appeared to be dead, yet Fishbach investigated and quickly discovered that the poor creature was tangled in a fishing net.

The humans had to act fast; what began as a tragedy soon became a thrilling rescue as Fishbach and his crew labored to free the young whale.

The entire encounter was caught on videotape and later narrated by Fishbach himself.

Watch as the whale named Valentina by her rescuers goes from near death to freedom, then rewards her  saviours  with dozens of magnificent  full-body breeches and tail flips.

Indeed, this video has the power to inspire action on behalf of other beings. In ways big and small, each of us can be the one who helps another.

Opportunities to be a hero for animals are all around. Where will your compassion take you next?
