Tim,that’s actually why I wondered about the tagging idea,because without a way to identify a specific whale as private property, the money is just going down the drain. Now whether privatizing sea mammals is even legal is a question for the lawyers.

The whale boats are pretty high tech, so they could pick up an electronic signal, the kind the marine biologists use for tracking specific whales. I’m not saying it’s a workable idea. Just wondering…

It is just another money making scam by the animal rights cult members.

I think for every stunt they do like this that we should go kill 10 to put a stop to stuff like this.

Look at all the dead sting rays for example. Get people fired up, and they will get revenge.

hm, how would you tell another fisherman not to fish that particular whale because you’ve bought it?

The article says it’s just for “consciousness raising,” but I wonder if you couldn’t confirm the sale by choosing and tagging a specific whale with a GPS and signalling device and then suing anyone who kills it.

Wouldn’t this just spur fishermen on, since now they can capture one whale ad infinitum?

Yeah. Not effective.

It would certainly be tricky to verify.

Hey, I can top this! I promise to let TWO whales go for only $50,000, THREE for $65,000. Hell, for $100,000 I’ll promise never to kill another whale ever!
