Murderous crew? We have Native American friends. Family live in Alaska in the article circle. A whale is shared by the entire community. Warmer weather has threaten their ability to hunt.
I was thinking specifically about killing it with ancient weapons, which meant a long, painful, exhausting, and probably terrifying death for a completely innocent and intelligent animal.
If you or I killed an animal like that, we would go to jail.
If they want to raise whales and kill them instantaneously, be my guest.
The white buffalo hunters of the 1870s were also murderous.
