Description

Description:

Past Aboriginal societies were so in tune with whales they could communicate and coexist for mutual survival. Aboriginal people and other first nations cultures around the world also understood this balance. In stark contrast to today where some species of whales are slaughtered merely because they eat tuna. Tuna is the most profitable commercial fishing product so anything that eats tuna (which is most sea-life) is slaughtered. This effects our future by destroying sea-life biodiversity and Phytoplankton which translates to the end of 80% of the worlds oxygen, conservatively estimated to be 18 years left. 18 Summers left.
