It is important to remind people why such shameful behavior such as occurred in Toksook Bay is a violation of federal law.

Numerous whale species are endangered because of the behavior of humans.  Treaties have been signed by the US and other nations to prevent the EXTINCTION of whales.  When outlaws decided to go kill whales other nations can justify this bad behavior and declare that they too, have a right to continue killing whales- until they go extinct.

The Northern Right Whale, the Southern Right Whale, the Bowhead Whale, the Fin Whale, the Sei Whale, the Vaquita Whale, the Baiji Whale, the Sperm Whale, and the Humpback Whale are ALL ENDANGERED.

Some of these species only have a few hundred living members left.

Those who killed this endangered whale must be prosecuted.
