A Defender Award is presented to a Web Site that openly displays an ernest desire to save cetaceans (whales & dolphins) from a torturous and meaningless death at the hands of man.

Many web sites do a wonderful job of informing visitors about the whale and it's world. But is that enough? Although education is a force which encourages love and understanding it is a Defender's site that strives to HALT the slaughter of these wonderful but defenceless creatures. A Nominated Site must defend cetaceans. It is commendable. . . It is worthy of The Defender Award.
