POPSSickening Tragedy Unfolding In Canada's Northwest Territory: Trapped Beluga Whales Being Slaughtered I am heartsick over the trapped whales being killed rather than rescued, particularly after learning that they would not have been trapped had Fisheries continued their practice of preventing whales from entering the area. According to the article there was no boat available to break up the ice such that the whales could escape their fate. Could not Fisheries have at least supplied a boat for this purpose? They supplied scientists to take samples from the poor creatures, so why couldn't they have rescued them? Was it more important to let the hunters shoot them? I heard on the radio that the hunters were thrilled to have the opportunity. Whatever their motive for allowing the whales to die, I am furious with Fisheries for their role in this tragedy.
