I feel sorry for them, as they feel pain just as we do, and all the above are driving them to end it all.
Interesting ideas.
Are you saying that whales are self-aware, and are/may be committing suicide?
...Do you have any sources indicating self-awareness? Not that I think you're dead wrong, but it's always good to have a bit of proof.
...The only animals I know of that have been proved to be self-aware are chimpanzees, orangutangs and ...??? man? It's old info tho, and man may have been removed from the list in the interim.
More questions:
Why do you think the whales "know the world will end before too long" ?
Why do you think whales are self-aware, yet do not have souls? ...That seems self-contradictory to me.
Thanks.
