A massive 28 foot juvenile humpback whale has been found dead in a river town off of London in what appears to be a starvation case.

Medical examiners and local scientists are studying the two year old junior whale to further understand what happened to the lovely sea creature and why.

Deaville said the whale may have been confused by the topography of the Thames and ambient noise, or because it was sick or because climate change caused shift of the routes – vast migrations.

London is calling this a sad event but one that should yield bountiful information and better understanding of UK water-based animals to preserve their future conservation.

Let’s hope they learn a lot and prevent this in the future.

However, something really strange appears to have happen, has our hero turned villain?

 

 

In a recent announcement it has become apparent that she has teamed up with the leather bag manufacturer Dooney and Bourke, for whom she has helped design a calfskin leather clutch bag with gold plated lion head, priced at $295.

However, there will be no boats in the harbour, this time the whale is going to the capital.

 

 

These message that Hayden Panettiere is taking, will be “VOTE” and they will be appearing outside the U.S. Capitol building this Sunday, October 26 at 12:30pm. The actress will be getting her first chance to vote and considering Mrs Palins love of hunting, I suspect that she will not be getting Hayden Panettiere’s vote.

But don’t let that fool you. She is aiming more than just showing that she is an eco-friendly shopper.

Diane Lane

For her part, she is also aiming to devise a way to spread the word on how to eat sustainable via the fish we eat. Apparently this stems from trying to satisfy two issues at hand: the sea creatures that serve as our food and trying to help these sea creatures such as whales and walruses continue to exist as well.

We all know that their existence is playing along the lines of extinction and through the efforts of such people as Diane Lane, we can be more educated and aware of health and environmentally friendly issues present today.

They are terrors of the deep but once man has his way of drugging and hunting them down, their entire clan may just be insufficient for anyone to see at some point in time.

Sharks being tagged as dangerous sea mammal should not be a reason for man to drug them. It is simply something where both must learn to co-exist. Just like most animals that are slowly becoming extinct, we may yet soon see sharks following the same plight as well.

Oil spills usually occur when there are overlooked aspects of oil leaks from oil tankers transporting oil.

While this is a common issue we see practically all the time, one oil spill in a certain part of the waters we see today will create a lot of problems. Just look at the birds and the aquatic mammals that have died from this negligible act. Human beings may be up next if this continues.

Most of these words include animals and plant life, most of which have gone out due to extinction.

There is no doubt that among the needs of most people today is to satisfy their needs. One of these needs is that of food which usually comes from meat and animal parts. A lot of hunters have seen this as an opportunity to help make rampant changes when it comes towards satisfying the demand and earn profits. Sadly, profits pay a price. That price of which is to dilapidate the natural resources and beings critical in making the life cycle gearing toward evident extinction.

The list of endangered species could go on and on. It includes birds, mammals and sea creatures. One hint we can refer to when we want to find out which among the creatures of the animal kingdom are nearing extinction is through their rare sightings to date. Obviously, it has been man that has made these rare sightings possible. Hopefully the Endangered Species Act can control this imbalance.

It is also home to a lot of the sea life mammals we are usually educated on. However, they have been obviously wasted due to pollution and continued environmental negligence by the people who are supposedly more rational. Hopefully it is not too late to save it.

Add bad luck to the equation, having a fire in the ship and losing most of its power to travel back to its point of origin makes it all the more harder. The said fire does not only threaten the ship as a whole, but the Antarctic region as well hence the need for assistance to pull them through. That is if they want the help being extended.
