This article is nothing more than demonization. Those whales are food species in the north and would be greatly welcomed as nutritious, free range, hormone free and local sustenance. This article demonstrates once again that Earth First is an all poser affair with no roots in ecology at all. Whales are food too! Those whales were dead no matter what anyone tried to do for them.

They're saying that it would have taken too long to get to the site to do any good. The DFO claims it would have taken a total of 11 days to get to the site with an icebreaker, which doesn't seem unreasonable when you take the location and season into account. Also, the count of dead whales is well over 600 now. The article you linked is a few days old. A more recent article can be found at http://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2008/12/03/dfo-narwhal.html
