The week in review
Whales – still under threat
Residents in the far north of Western Australia will not be taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather being experienced by the whole nation this week – as a 3 metre long crocodile has been spotted lurking about Cable Beach –the area’s most popular tourist spot. Wildlife officers fear they will have to shoot the reptile – not an ideal solution – they are hoping it will tire of waiting for an unsuspecting traveller to wade into the ocean and take off in search of other potential food sources.
Killing a crocodile would cause some upset from animal conservationists, but not nearly as much as the idea of killing whales does. There is certainly a lot of discussion on Yahoo!7 Answers about countries such as Japan moving to lift a ban on commercial whaling. For now the ban is upheld – as the International Whaling Commission has been convinced that the world is at risk of wiping out these majestic mammals permanently, however Japan has not ruled out going against orders and continuing whaling it it’s own economic zone.
In other news – you may have noticed a lack of coverage in this blog of the recent exploits of the starlets Miss LL and Miss PH. It was recently decided over muffins and coffee by the Yahoo!7 Answers Team that these particular partying and scandal causing young celebrities shall not be mentioned by name or deed as they are completely overexposed on a global level. Henceforth no rehab stints or prison stays will be mentioned in this blog – despite the fact that it is very tempting and easy to poke fun at particular incidents of airheaded behaviour.
Even mentioning certain people’s initials is almost breaking the newly created guidelines so I will stop here and say have a good weekend and don’t forget to add your contribution to the Yahoo!7 Answers/ Be a Better Planet $50,000 question if you haven’t already!

Thank you for leaving the (unmentioned) unmentioned. Whew! I was attracted to your picture because we just had a two week visit from two whales who travelled 90 miles inland up the Sacramento River, before returning to the ocean. The various agencies that attempted rescue ended up costing the taxpayers over $1 million.
