Amazing Anti Whale Books

I go to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium all the time, but never went to their library until the other day. All I have to say is – WOW. They have a HUGE section on WHALING. Unfortunately, you can’t take out books from the library, and the aquarium is too far a drive to go to just read books during the day, so I ordered some of them (see below).

For the 13+ years that I’ve been running this site, I’ve never posted personal information about myself. The truth is, I’m an avid supporter of aquariums and extremely invested in marine life. My passion focuses on invertebrates (yay nudibranches!). I could care less about vertebrate marine life, and I dislike vertebrate MAMMALIAN “marine” life. And just plain hate whales.

Here are the two books I’ve bought so far:

• Whales, Whaling and Whalecraft
• The Whale Killers

I started reading this book the other day and it is SOOOO MORBID. Nice details on shipwrecked cannibalistic sailors raping local natives and gory details on rendering whales.

A whole section dedicated to old whaling books, back when whaling was A-OK

I ordered this book off Amazon and will be getting it shortly
