This article, in the New York Times, tells the story of Pachico, a poor Mexican fisherman who had the wonderful experience of touching a whale that surfaced right along-side his boat. Ever since that day, the man claims to have a special bond with the creatures, he says he would trade his own life to save a whale's.
When the Mexican government tried to build a sea salt factory in the bay where the whales thrive, he was the voice to stop them. In order to bring attention to the harm it could do to the whales, he brought the author of this article out to see them, to tell their story. Pachico was quoted as saying “Let’s go hunt whales, bring your binoculars, bring your camera, so you can take them away and leave them there.”
