I remember in the sixties or seventies there was a "humorous" bumper sticker showing a whale with a mushroom cloud over it. The caption was NUKE THE WHALES. At the time, I thought it so excessive and demented a sentiment as to be funny. Not now. Nothing celebrating harm to life is funny. I wish people would get it. The whaling countries must be reined in. Even one whale death is excessive, murderous.
The historic journey from whales being victims of industry to symbols of the fragile marine ecosystem is fascinating.
Quite the 180, almost!

I agree 100%. The suffering of whales is so bad now, its literally not even funny. As you say, even one is too many.
