Having just got back into town, and having the.
last week’s newspapers to look. through, and
having opinions on almost everything, : therefore
_ this week I'd like to look at a few itemsefrom said
newspapers and expand on them.

ITEM: For instance, Green-
peace and the whales. The
. Russian government and the
IWC say that they ‘may’ stop
whaling in two years. Pil
JUST bet they -will: The
Japanese will stop whaling
then too, as will any other

people slaughtering . THE

DEFENCELESS whales.
Why? It’s so simple. In two
years there won’ "t be any
whales left.

Let me capsule the whale
situation. 1. The whales are

defenceless' and _helpless..

They can’t hide from radar
and sonar, and they can’t run

faster than their pursuers,

and they can’t stay under-

- water very long. Once a=
whale or a pod: of whales is.

_ discovered, -they are. doom-

purposely deceptive group.
In fact, the IWC is made up
of whalers, and the whalers
have a single purpose - to
slaughter whales. The Cana-
dian . government’s compli-
city with the IWC is a
particularly nauseating ex-

-ample of the rot of the human

soul prevalent in Ottawa. 3.

. The level of whale kills is so

high that the whales are
doomed as a species. Last
year the IWC set a ‘quota’ of
32,578 sperm whales that
could ‘safely’ be slaughtered
in the Antarctic region.

Tell me, how in hell docs
the IWC determine what can
‘safely’ be slaughtered? Do
they have 4 count of the

‘worid’s sperm whales? What

a joke. In fact, the whaling

fleets worked . the Antarctic
‘area. They didn’t fill their

quotas. They only slaughter-.
ed 23,000 whales. They
slaughtered every whale they
saw. And they didn’t miss
any. Add that up yourself.
