Every dolphin is a whale, but not every whale is a dolphin. 🐋🐬
Today is World Whale and Dolphin Day. 🌊 It commemorates a historic achievement for marine conservation: the 1982 vote that established the global moratorium on commercial whaling. 🗳️
We celebrate cetaceans and the joy of seeing them alive in the wild, just like this beluga spotted in the Faroe Islands, an exceptional sighting in these waters! 🤍
But what is the difference between the life of a beluga and that of a pilot whale? Why is one admired while the other is slaughtered during the Grindadráp?
Both deserve to live. Both belong in the ocean, free from human violence. 💙
