The GP was just poking fun. Getting defensive and suddenly asserting a bold, moral stance without evidence, seems a bit thin-skinned to me.
FWIW, I read this paper which says that whale-watching is not unethical provided certain protocols are observed.

- tjr225 6y agoI don’t really care what the GP was doing. Tourists come to the puget sound and fuel an economy of boats that swarm an ostensibly endangered group of local whales. Why would I care what a person who thinks that is funny thinks? There are seventy five resident orcas in the puget sound. Seventy five. Their lives are disrupted by 100 years of industrialization and we’ll be lucky if they’re here in 2121. For what it’s worth I went on a whale watching tour a few years ago. I regret it.
