Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to respond to an article that I saw published in the Ha'aretz newspaper on september 1, 2009.(add the name of the article). I strongly object to whale hunting. there are many reasons why and I believe that many people will agree with me. The ones who do not agree with me just don't understand that whales are living creatures that desrve to live just like us.

First, we know that a few years ago the world realized that the whales were about to be extinct. Ever since, a few laws were protecting(phr. abd gr.) those whales. Like the article said the law had a breach which said that people can hunt whales for purpose of research. But I have to say that it is wrong to hunt and kill such pure innocent creature.

Like you mentioned in the article, there's only one problem left. People still hunt the whales but now they pretend that the hunt is for research. The hunters don't really care about the whales, they care about the profits they are about to gain from the death of those whales. In the meantime, the government stands still and does nothing!

I expect the law to understand the importance of protecting the whales. they are part of the life circle and can't be destroyed. I really hope to change somthing with this letter and I hope you will publish it.

yours truly,

Hofit Levy
