Where’s Queequeg when you need him?

Is anyone else getting tired of this?

Bid to Save Whales Drags Into 3rd Week

The money and manpower spent in trying to coax these two whales back to the sea…well, I don’t get it. Yeah, they’re injured, probably from a boat propeller, and they have wondered some 70 miles from the ocean up the Sacramento River, but give me a break!

Animals make bad choices all the time and die for their error. Just drive a few miles on any interstate and you’ll see carcasses of critters tat didn’t know enough to avoid a collision with a truck or car. If these two whales (actually, probably just the big stupid cow since the calf will follow its meal ticket) decide to return to the sea, they will. If they don’t return, then we can clean up the corpses. If the authorities are concerned about them interfering with shipping, get a damn harpoon and stop screwing around.

I would like to see and accounting for this “rescue” mission when it’s all said and done. How much is being paid by PETA and HSUS do you think?
