CAPTIVE THEMSELVES

CAPTURING TECHNIQUES
Bombs are lit with acetylene torches and tossed in the water by high
speed boats to herd whales into coves or bays, in which they are then
netted. Upon entering the cove or bay the nets are set shallow enough to
extend to the ocean floor and once the whales are trapped more nets and
anchors are added to prevent escape by the orcas (Bigg).
We would cut the whales open, fill them with rocks, put anchors on their
tail, and sink them (Blackfish). interviewed whale capture crew member
