Sounds like they were firing guns from boats in the general vicinity of a pod of orcas. Somewhat different than "using live fire on a pod or orcas". The original description would incdicate that the ocras were being used for target practice. Maybe by commercial fishermen 3-40 years ago- but nobody would do that, particularly in front of witnesses, today. Assuming that the whale watchers were somewhere near the whales, firing *at* the whales would also have endangered the whale watchers. Even the govt. doesn't typically use live people for target practice. :-) It's a hoot that whale watchers are complaining- no other group harrasses these marine mammals anywhere nearly as much as the folks who hunt them down with aerial surveillance and then stalk them with boatloads of tourists from Kansas and Ohio. |
