On THE VOICE WITHIN:
Years ago, in a previous century now, human beings did something terrible. We slaughtered the Great Whales for their meat and oil, decimating their populations to the point of extinction. I try to convince myself that we did this out of ignorance. That we simply didn't know any better. Today, even as we speak, several nations are gearing up to once again begin commercial whaling. An immoral, barbaric act, for which there is no viable justification. Today we do know better. The Great Whales are intelligent, family orientated beings, who communicate with one another on an advanced level. It is simply wrong for us, as human beings, to kill them.
