Short Story & a rant

The giant, rusted body of bolted metal charges quickly through the ocean, splicing the waves in half and leaving a distinct trail in its path. The engine roars ferociously like a hungry lion closing in on its prey. The harpoons are locked and ready; intimidatingly planted at the stern, glistening like diamonds under the strong sun.
Under the waters, a gentle whale feels for the first time small and insignificant as she approaches the massive, dark figure nearby. She swims closer, overcome with curiosity, unaware of the beast's intentions.

Within a few seconds, she has made herself known.

The engine goes numb, the whale sings. With quick turn and no hesitation, the harpoon guns launch themselves from above, flying rapidly towards the ocean. The whale is struck, her smooth skin now pierced and exposed. She thrashes violently, and the silence is broken with the sounds of splashing water and the haunting cries of a 65 foot whale. A canopy of dark, red blood slowly shadows the ocean, and the cries heard are now only echoes of the past.

Whaling sucks. The Japanese 'experimental whaling' excuse is a load of bulls**t, and the more I read about it the angrier I become.
It's not even just whaling; gorilla poaching, seal slaughters, puppy mills... and for what? Money? Fuck money.
People are treated the same way - genocides, terrorism, slavery... you would think this would have been stopped decades ago, and yet even today, with shocking footage and proof of such acts, nothing is being done.
Honestly, people terrify me - but what terrifies me the most is that these ruthless killings wont stop. This why I want to become a wildlife conservationist. I know it sounds cliche, but I do want to 'save' the whales, and I will devote much of my life to doing so.
Just sayin'

In the meantime... this will have to do:
