It was on the radio not that it matters.

Do you think they might be able to shoot a hollow dart into the animals skin to obtain a sample? I seem to recall a NGC program where they obtained blood samples from a living whale in the ocean. Imagine that.

Some how the idea of killing animals under the guise of scientific study makes about as much sense as screwing for virginity. I just don't see it.

Bottom line is I believe killing the whales is wrong. I applaud the Sea Shepard and her crew for what they are doing. I was fortunate to see a hump back up close while in Alaska. Looked him (according to the guide) in the eye. Not quite like looking a tuna or a salmon in the eye.
