don't forget, if it wasn't for those damn hippy environmentalist wackos... the grey whale would still be endangered... and we wouldn't even be talking about the makah whaling.

not all environmentalists are animal rights activists.

that's your argument, if you disagree shut up? nice

Quit acting like you are so much better, holy than thou, so civilized, and so sophiisticated. Don't jump on this evil bandwagon, there must be someother place your drama is needed. I support Wayne 100% and you would too if you knew him. You think what he did was illegal?


yes, it was illegal.

Well what about the treaty? I guess lawyers will get rich, and in the end it will be the same as in the beginning, it is their RIGHT it is in the treaty. The enviromentalist have screwed it all up, once again.


how have they screwed up, by wanting the laws enforced. the whaling issue is being debated in court right now. how does you buddy's actions help the cause of makah whaling? his need to kill a whale probably did more damage to the makah whaling cause than anything the "environmentalists" could have done

Stand on their side and your fishing rights are finished.


if we stand on your side, will there be any fish left? if this illegal action involving whale hunting is acceptable, how could we believe that the tribe would follow fishing regulations set forth by the treaties.

Wayne and has asserted his ancestors rights. Rogue? Or should we say the last real Native. Leave the Makahs alone and let them have their whales. FISH ON

i will leave the makah alone... no longer will one cent of mine be spent on the reservation. if they choose to kill whales and thumb their noses at wdfw, nmfs, and the world i will choose to spend my money elsewhere.
