April Bellsaid:
So were the whales harvested then for meat, oil? All those dead whales in a confined space….if left to rot, the stench must have been awful. And the skeletons, would they have washed up on shore? I’m not an environmentalist, but when they refer to it as “sport” it does show a disrespect for nature. I wonder if any of the people watching it thought it was an awful thing to kill so many.
