The guys who started and continue to promote canoeing are truly
SICK! Whales should all be held responsible for this.

Very good, Mike. Another media piece from New Zealand.

I wonder what impact your new crusade to keep the spotlight of public opinion
focused on activities there will have.

Now, for your enjoyment, here's a media piece from a little closer to home...

Whale capsizes canoe off Mass. coast, drowning man

The Associated Press
PROVINCETOWN, Mass. —

A man canoeing in the ocean waters off Massachusetts has
died after the vessel came in contact with one or more
whales and capsized.

The accident occurred Wednesday morning in Cape Cod's
Provincetown Harbor. A second man in the canoe survived.

The Coast Guard says a vessel owned by a local boat
rental company pulled the men from the water, but
paramedics were unable to revive one of them. The
man's name was not immediately released.

The survivor told authorities that the 12-foot canoe
came in contact with at least one whale that surfaced.
Investigators believe it was a pod of pilot whales - or
possibly dolphins.

The Cape and Islands District Attorney's office is investigating.

That's what the DA's office is investigating.

This appears to be yet another criminal case of whales failing to wear helmets
when attacking canoeists.

Wrong on all counts.

Nope, the slower you go the more you see and experience. Speed is the
enemy.
When I hike I like to walk slowly. But the very best thing to do is to
STOP!
Yea, just stop and look around you. That is as good as it gets!

The slower you go, the longer you will be disturbing wildlife, how is
that good for them?

There is little to no wildlife next to any hiking trail that I know about.

Hikers are also more apt to litter and defecate in wildlife habitat,
especially when they STOP! so how is hiking any more beneficial to
wildlife than mountian-biking?

Hikers do not litter and they no how to rid themselves of body waste without
fouling the environment.

Don't most whales have names? Are whales only named after a murder?

You may want to try hiking outside of the city then.

Not true.

Another false statement. Do you even go outside? Doesn't sound like
it.

Hikers only take pictures and leave nothing but footprints.

How about I **** in your mouth if I should ever be so unfortunate to
encounter you on a hiking trail?

You wouldn't know unless said hikers are in your living room where you
spend 99% of your time.

No thanks. I'm hetero and not interested in whatever sexual games you
play with Mike.

No female on earth would get within arms reach of a putrescent mass of filth
like you. It is the sexual game that you play with yourself that interests
us. We still want to know how you **** yourself in your own asshole? Are you
a contortionist?

However, if you are into ****ing real asses (donkeys), I suggest sheep
instead. They are less likely to kick you in your balls, the resident
address of whatever small brain you possess.
