The historic journey from whales being victims of industry to symbols of the fragile marine ecosystem is fascinating.

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.

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