Over 200 whales trapped in Canadian ice

The Sidney Morning Herald is reporting:

At least 200 narwhal whales in Canada's Arctic, trapped by winter ice and facing starvation or suffocation, must be culled, officials say.

Hunters from the village of Pond Inlet on Baffin Island discovered the animals trapped near Bylot Island, about 17 kilometres from Pond Inlet, on November 15.

Here we go again!! Sea Shepherd will be thrilled with this. Canadian ice is to thin for polar bears and now to thick for narwhals.
Good Watch.
