“It’s my job to show people whales and it’s the whalers’ job to catch them, but I wonder how this can be avoided,”
Ummm... don’t take your whale watching group around whaling boats.
I’ve gone whale watching - it was pretty cool. Tho’ I think seeing one get harpooned might be even cooler.
Honestly, those Greenpeace types have NO sense of humor.
We went out on a Boston whale watch. The tour guide told us, "If anyone spots a (shudder) WHALE(squirm), call out!"
Being a cold, grey drizzly November day in my soul, we SE MASS Yankees know _exactly_ what to shout, and, blessed with very good distance vision, it was my lot to see the whale sound way off aport.
"LOWER AWAY, AND AFTER HIM!!!!!!!!!!"
There were a few chuckles, and a few gasps...
