The slaughter of whales is not something Americans should feel proud of. . . being part of stopping it is.
Could you do a follow up story on the whales themselves, not just how we brutally killed them?

Hi, I worked at the whaling station in the 1970 at what was the SF Bay Marine Research Institution, ran by Dr. Curtis Lake Newcombe We took over the whaling station just as the whalers left.I was given so much stuff that would fill a large room in a musuem. Sitting on the dock at sunset with my dog was the most pleasent time of my life. Getting stuck in the mud flats near the Standard Oil oxidation ponds, when the tide went out was not. Any one who worked there still alive?

Just found this site. My step-dad (Kenny Hamai) was one of the captains at Richmond and took me out whaling as a kid.

I didn't know there was a whaling company in California, I am glad though that people become educated about Whales. That they are not " Fish" and that they are VERY intelligent animals and should be allowed to live. So I am so proud that America stopped and the REST of the whale should stop TOO!
