Are you kidding me ? The villagers intentionally killed the whale . They boasted they wouldn't cooperate with any investigation or give the illegally taken meat back.  And to date, what trouble have they got in?  How do you charge a cruise ship for accidently hitting the whale ? Do you think the boat captain told the crew to steer towards the whale so they could hit it ?   Tourists bring many millions of dollars into our states economy across the state. Shall we ban cruise ships from Alaska ?  What did illegally killing that whale do ?   At last report , about half the meat was going to waste.
