The seas will never be safe until all whales and fish and other creatures that live in the sea are dead.
Please someone, think about the children!

That whale ate my grandfather, and then spit him out, and sent him packing to Ninevah.

Kind of sad. I often see whales here at the Northern California coast migrating up to Alaska or heading down to Baja.

Did he have an annoying little friend named Khalil?

Crazy story.. Poor whale though, why are they still being hunted?

Because people are idiots.

Because we make exceptions to native Americans who still rely on whaling as a food source.

Are those the only people allowed to hunt whale at this point? In US controlled waters, I mean.

In US territorial waters, yes.... but around the world you have idiot Japanese, Norwegian and others still hunting these great creatures for no reason. Too bad there's not a way to sink each and every one of those vessels. :|

Oh there are "ways" to do it... Legal? no... but I think we give Greenpeace enough RPGs and they should take care of things for us.

Why can't they go to Wendy's like the rest of fat America?

You know, we have these things called "warships" that are fielded by this organization called a "navy" and our "navy" is bigger than most of the world combined. If we REALLY wanted to, we could sink all of their whaling ships easily...but we have bigger fish to fry, no pun intended...wait.....pun intended.
