    Nancy Black, a marine biologist who runs whale-watching tours in Monterey Bay, California has been accused of violating laws that protect marine mammals. The four-count indictment accuses her of twice feeding killer whales, of misleading investigators by editing video footage of the incident and lying, and of violating a regulation that requires whale-watching boats to stay at least 100 yards away from the whales. If Black is found guilty of charges brought against her, she could receive a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and half a million dollars in fines. Read Digital Journal.

      That is just crazy – If you get 20 years for feeding whales in the wild, how many years do you then get for keeping them in captivity?
