I'm not an overly sentimental animal lover usually. But I can't stomach this nonsense story about how our neighbors to the north Canada has given there consent(whoever they are) to kill roughly 500 narwhal whales, a near-threatened species of whale that has unicorn-like tusks, because they have become dangerously crowded around the only ice hole in the vicinity through which they could come up for air.
Apparently, "They" figured using ice breakers to free the whales was deemed too stressful. I guess killing them en masse (and not-so-coincidentally, allowing the hunters to harvest way more than the annual quota of tusks, each of which command prices of $2000 and up) is the more humane way to go. Way to go Canada!!!!
