Quote of the Day:

“There is no market for whale meat,” said Beatriz Bugeda, the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s Director
for Latin America regarding the Japanese whaling expedition underway in the Antarctic ocean.

 

“Whales are worth far more alive than dead,” Bugeda said in reference to the enormous whale-watching industry.
