The Wonderful World of Animals: The Story of a Whale

This is a copy of an email making the college rounds. I cannot attest to its authenticity. If is it not true, it is a nice story. If it IS true, it is a marvelous story.

I could not access the pictures by clicking on the little icon in upper left corner. If you can, please let me know how.

Neither could I change the size of the text or the email. Oh well, it's a neat tale.

Granny wanted something good; if true, this is good.

Update: Thanks to Yellowdog Granny, this story is confirmed as true. Yellowdog Granny checked it out and it happened in 2005. It says a lot about some people's care for the creatures with whom we share this planet, and also says much about the intelligence of those incredible leviathans man has slaughtered so greedily.

For the complete story, click on to http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/whalethanks.asp and scroll down past the opening statements and the repeat of the story below. Thanks again to Yellowdog Granny. (Note to recent readers; url has been corrected- when Blogger gets around to republishing)

I've not been fond of a certain actress but I am 100% behind the Save The Whales organization.
