Stating the Obvious – watching whales is better than killing them
Thanks for checking back, we really appreciate it.
Well, no shit.
Same argument for logging.
WATCHING whales is far more profitable than eating them, concludes a report published last week by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). It found that revenues from whale watching in 2008 reached $2.1 billion – double the amount earned a decade ago.
“It’s clearly the most sustainable use of whales,” says Patrick Ramage of the IFAW. “You can watch the same whales dozens of times, but you can only kill a whale once.”
