Dear James, I like the title of your project. Actually, I seem to remember a title of an article or two like this. There are probably a bunch of reasons why we should care about whales. I think we should care, because they are an important part of the earth's ecosystem, and are needed to keep it in balance. Whales are good because we can use them to make people care about other animals and the ecosystems in general.
Whales are also important for our soul in a respect.
They are quite often represented in art and literature and obviously mean a lot to culture, whether they are being hunted and killed as well, or not. As far as additional folks to contact, I will on the side send you a few email addresses of folks you might contact who might be able to help you out. Dear Dagmar Fertl, My name is James Dayson and I am a student in first year studying at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. If you could respond with you personal opinion on the subject and any other information you may have such as other people, organizations or addresses which I could contact. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with this.
