So cruise ships are going to the cause of Right (is this really a species???) Whale extinction huh??? I smell a “tariff,” “user fee,”….TAX, TAX, TAX. Just like the global warming fees.
The focus must be on Carnival Corporation at this time. It looks they kill 12 times more whales than cruise ships. 6 per year as opposed to ½ whale per year!
