Where's the bad thing here? We have a a couple of seals who presumably had several months of steady supply of fish in a nicely coddled environment away from the stress of big black and white orcas trying to make a meal out of them. We have a large number of people who obviously got a great deal of satisfaction out of repairing some of the damange done by an environmental disaster. Not least we have a slightly fatter killer whale that presumably has been having a bad time recently on account of it's main source of food being dead or otherwise covered in an unpalatable goo. I suppose there might have been a cheaper way of feeding the whale, but on the whole I can't see the problem. -- Doug -- Sent to you via the frendz list at marsbard.com The archive is at http://www.mail-archive.com/frendz@marsbard.com/
