Norwegian scientists have found that orcas - aka killer whales - have become the most contaminated mammals in the Arctic. Because they are at the top of the food chain, these whales ingest all the chemicals that have already polluted the animals they eat. If these whales are "accidentally" killed, or hunted for "scientific research," their whalemeat may end up on supermarket shelves and ultimately the dinner table. This delicacy comes fortified with pesticides, flame retardants and PCBs. Yum!
