PLEASE SIGN AND I WILL SEND IT TO DFO

12 KILLER WHALES HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN THE HUDSON BAY AREA IN QUEBEC, CANADA. WE ARE PETITIONING THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA AND DFO TO SEND OUT ICEBREAKERS TO FREE THEM

INFO ON WHALES:

From CBS News Brief

A dozen killer whales trapped in the ice about 30 kilometres off the coast of Inukjuak, Que., could be in imminent danger, as a local Inuk who visited them late Wednesday afternoon said the small patch of open water which the whales are sharing is already shrinking.

The DFO's Letendre said her department's team of experts is evaluating the situation, looking at the number and health of the whales, the state of the ice and the proximity of the whales to open water.Sending in icebreakers might be one option, Letendre said, but it's an expensive one that could prove logistically difficult.

"Presently, the icebreakers are really busy with the ice conditions that we have in other regions of our country," Letendre said. "In the Quebec region, the icebreakers are working on the Saint Lawrence River. Just this week, three commercial ships were stuck in the ice in the Matane area."

Sending in icebreakers would likely take a political decision, Ramp suggested, and in any case, they might arrive too late.
