Whale impaled by cruise ship!

Hey Guys,
I found this article about this poor whale being killed by a cruise
ship.
This is the link:

Do you think this is enough of a reason to petition for wildlife
detection devices on bigger ships?
Let me know what you think

Hi,

You are mistaken. The researchers discovered the whale was already
dead when the ship had hit the whale.

Really?!
Where did you find that out?
I guess that's a good thing...

Can you imagine how difficult it is to steer perfectly and impale such a
target?

Sarah, you really need to get out more. Most cruise lines do this
intentionally, adding to the food stores aboard the ship. When
not impaling whales, are you aware that passengers can rent rifles
to shoot dolphins? I got 2 on the last cruise to Alaska, but
still didn't get the prize. There's also a lot of shotgun fun off
the aft deck with gulls, terns and other birds that are drawn to
the ship from the spilled blood of the impaled whales.

I don't believe for a second that captains intentionally try to hit
whales because

1 - It's a cruel thing to do
2 - It would be detrimental to the schedule of the ship
3 - I'm sure at least 80% of passengers would NOT want to see a whale
impaled by their ship.

Nonny, i have absolutely zero respect for you and your disdain toward
wildlife.

I hear that the crew of the Steve Irwin plan to sail across the bow of
the next cruise ship attempting such a move. Look out here comes a
stink bomb!

I would guess 99.99%.

In addition: cruise lines claiming to adhere to the "save the seas" policy
obviously don't want to be associated with such behavior.
