My Way - News: "OTTAWA (Reuters) - It wasn't until the U.S. cruise ship had pulled into port in Atlantic Canada that those on board made a gruesome discovery -- the body of a large whale was impaled on the vessel's bow.
Officials said on Monday that the 60-foot finback whale could have been stuck there for up to two days before 'Jewel of the Seas' docked in Saint John, New Brunswick, on Sunday, after a cruise through waters where the giant mammals abound."

Just like the Bar-ba-loots, these critters are hitting the endangered species lists, desired for pets, habitat loss, net entanglement...

Environmental Bad Dream, China needs to straighten up...

Environmental Bad Dream: "In late July an environmental disaster occurred on the Huai river, one of China's seven big rivers. A 133km-long black and brown plume swept along the river killing millions of fish and devastating wildlife. According to Mr Pan, the catastrophe occurred because too much water had been taken from the river system, reducing its ability to clean itself. Others say that numerous factories dump untreated waste directly into the water.
As for used water, with a national daily sewage rate of around 3.7 billion tonnes, China would need 10,000 waste-water treatment plants costing some $48 billion just to achieve a 50% treatment rate, according to Frost & Sullivan, a consultancy. Vhima's State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) found over 70% of the water in five of China's seven major river systems was unsuitable for human contact. As more people move into cities, the problem of household waste is becoming severe. Only 20% of China's 168m tonnes of solid waste per year is properly disposed of."

Take a look, unbelievable they have no long tern view on this...
