Whale Killers		04 Jun 2002	Daily Grist
Whale Killers The killer whale population has declined 20 percent since 1995, and scientists think they've found one of the reasons why: whale watchers.

A while ago I wrote a column full of solemn statements from august scientists and other wise persons, warning that we are trashing our planet at a sickening pace.
