Considering that there is no humane way to kill a whale or any other wild sea mammal, and slaughters of any kind against wild life cannot be considered in current times under any circumstances, the following countries are brutally attempting against life in this planet:
In 1982, Captain Watson negotiated the end to the dolphin slaughter at Iki Island. Sea Shepherd will be returning this year to confront the illegal whaling activities of the Japanese whaling industry.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has been the most aggressive opposition to illegal Norwegian whaling.Sea Shepherd continues to aggressively oppose illegal whaling activities in Norway.
Sea Shepherd has campaigns in Mediterranean waters. 20,000 loggerhead turtles are captured every year by the Spanish longline fishery in the Mediterranean Sea, and 4,000 of them are believed to die because they are returned to the sea with the hook still embedded in their throats.
Whaling came to an end in 1986, after a Sea Shepherd crew scuttled half the whaling fleet and destroyed the whale meat processing plant. In 2008 Iceland resumed whaling.
Salomon Islands for the slaughter of thousands of dolphins each year in this South Pacific island group for tourists and capture hundreds of dolphins for sale to dolphinariums while others remain in holding pens in poor conditions awaiting buyers.Grounds: business. Hunt: Not necessary. Change business: Promote tourism, enforce laws to protect wildlife. Solution: Boycott During the summer of 2003, a Sea Shepherd teamfrom New Zealand documented the conditions that the dolphins are enduring in the holding pens in the Solomon Islands. This is an on-going campaign for the Society.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has been the leading opposition against the slaughter of pilot whales in the Danish Faeroe Islands. Captain Paul Watson has led campaigns to oppose the hunt in 1985, 1986 and in 2000. No whales were killed while Sea Shepherd patrolled the Islands. Sea Shepherd is working to shut down slaughter in Faeroe Islands.
Namibia for killing tens of thousands of South African Fur seals, shot or clubbed, every year by fishermen who view the seals as a threat to their fishing industry.Grounds: Bussiness. Hunt: Not necessary. Change business: Promote tourism to watch namibian seals. Solution: Boycott Sea Shepherd is continuously working to shut down the seal hunt in Namibia.
Aboriginal subsistence whaling Canada grants whaling to various Inuit groups around the country. The United States permits to Alaskan natives Inupiat the hunting of Bowhead and Gray whales in Alaskan waters and grants to Makah tribe to resume whaling. Russia grants to Chukotka Autonomous Okrug tribe under IWC regulation to take up to 140 Gray Whales per year from the North-East Pacific Indonesia is permitted to hunt some Cachalots and dophins and several species of sharks.
Other killings Hunters for their disgrace hobby of killing any wild animal.
