David:
When you get right down to it, if only the Makahs kill a few gray whales, it probably wouldn't be a big deal. But if you add to that a few California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbian, and Alaskan industries dumping all sorts of crud in the water, the conservationists and the rednecks and all supporting all those industries, and the Japanese, Russian, Polish, and wherever else whalers just wanting to take another crack at things, you have a real problem
Only thing is, the Makah are the only U.S. Tribe with treaty whaling rights. So I doubt you see tribes from Calif., Oregon, or other US tribes putting out to sea in pursuit of whales.
Gotta love that muk tuk... |
