It might be just me, but when I saw that pic, I thought of "Ghostbusters."

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

Yeah. Not effective.

I definitely did not know about Sir Isaac Brook. I'm fairly sure they never mentioned him in class -- but I did learn Canadian History in French, so I might not remember *anything.*

This is terrible, but this was 90 years ago ... and smack-dab in the middle of World War I. While I abhor animal cruelty, there were much worse travesties going on at the time ... and which continue today.

Maybe this makes me a bit more callous, but it's hard to deny there is an element of marvel, if tinted with horror, at the sight of humans going through so much to destroy a beautiful creature of nature.

It's not neat, per se, but it does boggle the mind.

That's great. It's harmless but humurous.

Toronto can be fairly hectic, but generally it's not too violent. A little nudging and elbowing, but no pushing unless you want people to glare.
