I guess I will just be called another ‘animal- rights- touchy- feely- mean- out- to- get- us’ type person, but why Not leave the whales alone? There’s never going to be an over population of them and more likely the reverse, Japan does not only limit hunting to their own waters, they hunt where they please. If the argument is “they’re just large beautiful creatues who almost became extinct, why not hunt them, we need the meat/oil/whatever it is I want from them”, why not plow over Yellowstone too while you’re at it? It’s not doing anything, it’s just there. Use the timber, the water the oil, whatever you want out of it. It could be the same argument.
Also, before agreeing with the idea of harpooning whales, take a look at The Cove,directed by Louie Psihoyos. Yes they’re dolphins, but imagine whales being slaughtered. It’s not a quick death. Unlike trying to give a cow or chicken a quick death……
