#5 Aaaawwww - I for one wish it could've been saved. I hope this was a properly calculated or measured decision, not a "quickie". As for the "Whale Whisperer", don't underestimate their skills or cultural beliefs. THERE'S BEEN MANY A TIME MODERN SCIENCE HAD PREMATURELY AND TO ITS OWN DETRIMENT UNFAIRLY DENIGRATED THE VALID, RATIONAL, EVEN SUPERIOR, BASE(S) AND REALITIES UNDERLYNG "PRIMITIVE" INDIGENOUS BELIEFS.

They thought they knew everything, only to discover how little they actually knew or understood, and how they were were the inferior ones, NOT the "primitives".
