Here’s a fantastic, brilliant piece on whaling. Don’t watch Heath Ledger’s whaling animation project if you’re squeemish, though it’s a timely prelude to The Cove, which I have my ticket for this Friday evening.

Note that this article in the Times, UK is simply announcing the video. It’s a shame they didn’t do better reporting and tie it to real facts, real context. Here are some things you can do, some facts compiled by c. george muller, 10 facts you didn’t want to know, and some information about what happens with whales once they’re taken…actually - that’s hard to find. So if you find any relevant factoids, please send them over.
