Whoo!
But the orcas had been caught before
and they knew what was going on
and they knew their young ones
would be taken from them.
went east into a cul-de-sac
thinking they were all going that way,
while the mothers with babies went north.
But the capture teams had aircraft.
And they have to come up for air eventually.
And when they did,
the capture teams alerted the boats
and said, "Oh, no, they're going north--
the ones with babies."
So the boats-- the speedboats
caught them there
and herded them in.
And then they had fishing boats with seine nets
that they would stretch across
so none could leave
and then they could just pick out
the young ones.
We were only after the little ones.
And a little one is, you know,
a big animal still.
But I was told because of shipping costs
that's why they only take the little ones.
They had the young ones
that they wanted in the corrals,
so they dropped the seine nets.
And all the others could have left,
but they stayed.
We're there, trying to get
the young orca into the stretcher,
and the whole famn damily is out here,
25 yards away maybe,
in a big line...
...and they're communicating
back and forth.
Well...
you understand then what you're doing, you know.
I-- I lost it.
I mean, I just started crying.
I didn't stop working,
but I...
you know, I just couldn't handle it.
Just like kidnapping a little kid
away from their mother.
Everybody's watching.
What can you do?
It's the worst thing I can think of, you know?
I can't think of anything worse than that.
Now, and this really sounds bad,
but when the whole hunt was over,
there were three dead whales in the net.
And...
so they had Peter and Brian and I...
cut the whales open, fill them with rocks,
put anchors on their tail, and sink them.
Well...
you know...
really, I didn't even think about it
being illegal at that point.
They were finally ejected
from the State of Washington
It was SeaWorld by name that was told,
"Do not come back to Washington
to capture whales."
Without missing a beat, they went
from Washington to Iceland
I've been part of a revolution
and two change of presidents
in Central and South America...
and seen some things that's hard to believe,
but this is the worst thing
that I've ever done--
is hunt that whale.
Sealand has been
a part of Victoria for over 20 years.
We specialize in the care
By the time I started, when he was four,
he was up to 16 feet long
