Dear, sir or madam
My name is Matthew and I go to Daly elementary school in Germantown, MD. i’m writing to you because I think whaling to stop for example. In the early 20 century people hunted whales in large number by the 1930s up to 50,000 whales were killed each year for their meat and for their oil. Also in 2005 japan has killed around 3,600 Minke whales in antarctic. The IWC’s 88 member nations 49-including Australia, New zealand, and the untied states oppose whaling. Japan took a total of 886 whales in 2006/7. I’m asking you to stop whaling because it bad for the whales and our planet.
