Whale: Researchers will study
Keiko’s behavior and physiology
■ Continued from Page 9
gallon drums have been some of
the ways Keiko has regained
some needed muscle.
Unfortunately for Keiko, there
has been no Adrianne.
Harvey said it is also important
for people to interact with Keiko
in his own environment and so
cialize with the whale in a non
training situation. This includes
escorting divers around the pool
via Keiko’s nose, a situation that
Harvey said is getting increasing
ly dangerous as the whale’s nat
ural instincts continue to take
over.
“[Keiko] is the only killer
whale alive that trusts humans,”
Harvey said. “We have to remem
ber, though, he still has these in
stincts.”
Harvey’s staff may just write
the book on whale rehabilitation
and release as they make
progress with Keiko. Harvey said
researchers have never released a
whale and really know very little
about the species. The next chap
ter in the Keiko saga is deemed
the year of science and research,
where two research organizations
will join the Newport program in
finding out about Keiko’s behav
ior and physiology, Harvey said.

We’re not in it for the money.
We do it for our own intrinsic
value of trying to perpetuate
species here on the planet.
— Nolan Harvey
Curator of marine mammals

Harvey realizes the ultimate
goal is to do what is best for
Keiko, not for science. However,
he acknowledges it will be hard.
“We’re not in it for the mon
ey,” he said. “We do it for our
own intrinsic value of trying to
perpetuate species here on the
planet.
“There’s going to be a lot of
mixed emotions, but at the same
time there’s also going to be a lot
of back slapping.”
While Keiko won’t retain any
championship belt, if he is re
leased back to his native North
Atlantic waters, he will retain his
freedom.
“Will he go free?” Harvey
asked. “That’s up to Keiko.”
Whalers’ Council to set up
on Nuu-chah-nulth land
The Associated Press
PORT ALBERNI, British Co
lumbia — The World Whaling
Council is setting up shop on na
tive land.
It’s the logical next step for
Canadian Indians interested in
small-scale sustainable whaling,
said Chief Tom Happynook of the
Huu-ay-aht band.
“Whaling has been part of our
history since the beginning of
time,” he said.
“The ceremony, the sacred
places, the prayers, the fasting, all
of the preparation are still in place
and are being passed down from
eldest son to eldest son.”
The news worries environmen
talists.
Catherine Stewart of Green
peace said her group doesn’t op
pose native whaling, but it is con
cerned at the potential influence
of the Whaling Council on the
Nuu-chah-Nulth, made up of 14
bands.
“We’re actively discouraging
this hunt. We feel it’s premature,”
she said.
The council receives money
from whaling interests in Norway
and Japan, and anti-whaling
forces fear native whaling will
lead to wide-scale commercial
whaling.
But council director Matt Sta
bier said most of the funding
comes from Canadian and interna
tional native groups.
“There is no insidious move to
try to push commercial whaling.
The entire organization is based
on support of sustainable whaling
by community-based operations,”
he said.
Stewart said that what starts out
as a subsistence hunt could, under
pressure, possibly extend to a fi
nancial hunt.
Happynook said she’s wrong.
“There is no plan to expand the
hunt. We have no intentions of
selling meat to anyone. We never
had. We never said we did. It’s just
not true.”
Whale-watching operators on
the west coast of Vancouver Island
worry that opening the hunt will
make the whales, nicknamed dev
ilfish in the 1840s, aggressive and
scarce.
About 100 grey whales are
killed each year by Russian aborig
inal whalers, Stabler said, adding
he’d be shocked if the Nuu-chah
Nulthtook40.
Happynook said he would feel
“fulfilled” by whaling.
“I would feel that I am once
again providing for my communi
ty and doing what I was supposed
to do.”
