Kelly's advice: YELL! Write a hand-written letter to elected officials, the BPA, the Army Corps of Engineers. Call them and give them your 2-cents. But always press the issue that breaching can begin in 2018 and there is no reason it shouldn’t! On our website, the Get Involved page:  we’ve links to all the documents you’d need to build your case and get the mailing address and phone numbers to the various stakeholders.

Dr. Lori Marino (Blackfish; The Sanctuary Project; The Kimmela Centre for Animal Advocacy) on seeking sanctuary, captive orcas (Corky, Lolita & Kiska), animal rights and wrongs & more.

“Being a dolphin in a captive environment, in a concrete tank, doing tricks, is not being a dolphin… A dolphin is someone who has a life to lead and is not necessarily interested in looking to you to enrich their lives, they're going about their business.”

Show Notes:

Our YouTube riff on George Heyman

* Whistleblower by Dan Mangan

* And much more….

Significant quotes:

“Just to make sure I had no time to go rogue, the 30 minute interview was cut to 20 — despite my repeated offer to talk whenever and wherever was convenient for the Minister.”

As much fun as it would be to meet George Heyman, ask if he likes whales and then spend the rest of our time shooting the breeze about Brock Boeser’s Rookie-of-the-Year chances, I decide to make like Henrik Sedin and pass.“

“In the thousands of interviews I’ve done I can only think of two times was ever told any topic was “off-limits.”

“When I interviewed Justin Trudeau guess how many topics I was told to avoid? None.“

Today Norway is one of only three whaling nations in the world, but the country’s whaling operations used to be worldwide. Dag Ingemar Børresen of Sandefjord’s Whaling Museum (Hvalfangstmuseet) on Norway’s whaling history and the market for Minke meat.

“I guess…Norwegians are not very…. I mean it was just….  a whale.  I don’t think Norwegians have this sort of emotional connection with the whales at all..”
