Greenpeace--liberalism at its worst

The whale's habitat and food sources are vanishing at an unsustainable rate. If you have too many whales, it vanishes that much quicker. Their numbers must be necessarily small because a single adult humpback whale eats 5000 lbs or more of plankton a day--two and half tons--every day. With plankton vanishing faster than it can reproduce, how long do you think that can go on?

The whale will be extinct or nearly extinct by 2100 and will go the route of other animals as the honeybee, the tiger, the polar bear, the koala bear and the rhinoceros. I just read today that a Northern white rhino died leaving only 4 or 5 left--in the world--and those live in captivity. And we can't keep whales in captivity like that, it has already been discussed and dismissed as unworkable.

We needed to address this problem decades ago and didn't and so now we pay the price. And pointing fingers is just stupid.
