"As for the whale, there are plenty of rich people who would try to feed the whale and probably succeed, and not at the taxpayers expense."
Can you please name these rich people who had put there hand up to feed the whale. And what do you feed it?? I didn't know said rich people had a stash of whale milk in the freezer "just in case"!
Please explain to me why these rich people with a freezer full of whale milk were physically stoped from helping by those evil "bureaucrats".
"there are often thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars spent to save one animal in distress, when it comes to public attention, when that money may indeed have been spent ameliorating conditions for hundreds of other animals."
Yep I agree 100%. This is normally executed by the media to sell a feel good story. They tried again with "colin" but failed.
