I thought you might like that Rodger. Question: If whales are not fish and it's illegal to hunt for them why is the Department of Fish and Game involved?

It makes them feel heroic, caring, needed and gives them media coverage, which inflates some egos.
Meanwhile, the taxpayers have no say about the expenditure.
OTOH, I'm so glad they're gone. I was sick of hearing airheads bleat every hour about the poor whales and their heroic saviors.

Big internatioanl whaling summit just completed here in AK Natives agree to be called "aboriginals." Aboriginals can still hunt whales. We shoyuld a had a couple of bring their Umiak down and the Californians could have been treated to a little slice of reality.
Maybe those two will make it up here in time to be turned into muk tuk?

This is quite the nice turn of phrase Lt.Col.Gen: "... hearing airheads bleat every hour about the poor whales..."
Anyway, what I want to know, and this site is better than the Straight Dope at finding answers, is this: How did they lose the whales? They can track monarch butterflies across a continent. They put those lil' translocators on sparrows for pete's sakes. They had access to two effing whales for days, and noone said, hrmm, let's track these beasties?
Also, whalesbleat is the new Klingon. -

TFV, no really, I looked all over the California Fish & Game website and nowhere could I find any whales listed as game species. No licenses or tags offered, nothing. I was suprised. I mean here is a non-petroleum based alternative fuel source just swimming up a river. Hey, if Pelosi's car starts smelling fishy...

Alear, I have heard that some whales do like the catfish and dig holes in the side of the bank to hide in. Then the only way to get them is to canoodle 'em. You stick a lib in the hole and when the whale bites down you drag him out. Slowly.

I remember the days when you used to be able to get a whale steak at The Admiral Ben Bow's, just off Dupont Circle....
