Do you have any idea how much whale watching companies give to the Pacific Salmon Foundation every year? You better do your homework before you start shooting blindly around in anger!
Bottom line .........
No one should be legally allowed to Chase, Harrass, Follow, Leap Frog, any Whales.
200 m zone or NOT ........ These so called Ambassadors of the WHALES are more of a threat to their existence then what our officials are allowing IMO.
Day after day after day they chase. Even radio others on locations. But no the chasers are not the problem, even in the quiet zones........ I hope their proud of themselves and sleep well.
The population of the southern resident killer whales was likely never large. They suffered a big drop in the early 1970s when some 47 animals were captured to be sold to aquariums.
of course DFO allowing this has zero impacted on today population....
But of course... this is just another piece of the puzzle thus arriving to were we are today.. there is simply just not one reason why....
Given your response a little more thought.. I may have asked this of you before... so in a prefect world how would u fix this issue..interested in the response.
