Do you know why PETA and HSUS exist? They are lobbying organizations. They don't give a flying phucht about animals. Do your research.
I agree. The Humane Society (along with PETA) are often bizarre. Let's wait a few days for them to chime in.
As per the whale - it's property of Anheuser Busch and really falls into the corporate lap. Since the whale easily cost several million dollars (revenue/stud/investment) we'll probably see this repeat offender receive some type of isolation within their sprawling organization. This will ensure an even crazier, more violent whale.
