There are only ~2000 on the planet and 12 Blue Whales have spent a number of days just off the coast line. They live over 80 years and grow to over 100 feet in length.

Let's hope the Japanese don't find out. They'll be over there conducting "research" in no time...

Take a look how you spelled the word in your original post. I even hi-lighted it for you to help, but apparently it failed.
Why do you specify American Natives , and for Canada you don't ?

The whales
The fat broads from Quebec have gone to the beaches in New England.Actually they do... They are just beating dolphins to death instead, not pilot whales, although they are very closely related. (See "The Cove" documentary. But be prepared, as it is extremely graphic... I'm just waiting to hear about a sequel about our seal hunt, which is no less barbaric.) And of course when they use harpoons to kill large whales in the Southern Ocean, there is massive amounts of blood... it's just difficult to film way down there. Typically, the harpooners aim for the head, but a body shot is much easier and they often strike the animals in the lungs, causing them to slowly suffocate and drown in their own blood.
And you are correct that there are many other countries involved in limited whaling operations. I think the Japanese are the only ones that still operate a government sanctioned and subsidized whaling fleet which is able to pursue large whales anywhere although Norway might as well. I read recently that the fleet is based in northern Japan and the whaling fleet HQ was destroyed in the tsunami and may not be rebuilt.
As an aside, the Faroe Island "grind" (which is what they call the herding and slaughter of these animals) was effectively stopped by the Sea Shepherd organization this year, and the Japanese fleet returned home after an unsuccessful hunt. Apparently the harassment by Sea Shepherd is making it extremely expensive to pursue these animals.

Apparently when CM actually types something, instead of his usual C&P, he misses things.
