I read this cartoon in Iceland about whaling. Was pretty damn funny.
So do cows, but they ain't tortured for up to half an hour to kill them. We also maintain the population of cattle to eat, whales do not breed very quickly and can easily be over "whaled".

So these whalers are out on a boat, and they come up on this whale. The whalers say that since they're Icelandic, they don't care about whales like the rest of the world. The whale says "If you were Americans, you wouldn't kill me." The whalers say "Of course not! You're not Muslim!" Then they kill the whale. Then one of the whalers says "Wait, did we just kill a talking whale?"
So they don't need to drag the whale to the side of the boat and try to electrocute it then? wonder why whaling boats are fitted with such equipment if they die pretty fast after having an explosive harpoon put in them?herrr_smity wrote:

Don't kid yourself they die slowly, even the explosive harpoon ain't designed to kill the whale straight off it is designed to cause massive injury so it will bleed to death more quickly.

So being shot with a long bit of barbed metal with a small bomb on the end isnt considered torture huh, i wonder if we scaled it all down to human size and tried it on a person whether they would die quickly?herrr_smity wrote:

I have to side with [RTC]invaderzim69 and Fred[OZ75] for this one. I'm mostly against Japanese whaling because of the incredible amount of whales they kill. They store most of the meat in warehouses and put it into Dog food. To them it's not even some kind of delecacy, it's just crappy meat to them. Also that bullshit about killing whales for scientific research they keep insisting is ultimate bullshit, and it's insulting that they are so arrogant as to think that we'll buy their bullshit. On the same topic, big ups to the Australian scientists who found out the same scientific information the Japs were trying to obtain in a shorter time and without killing any whales.
Norway is a whaling nation, but they don't overfish thankfully. They eat what they catch instead of putting it into storage or Dog food. I think that's fine really, although honestly I would never eat whale meat and I am against how the whales are killed. As Fred[OZ75] wrote, the explosive harpoons are designed to make the animal bleed to death, not kill it outright.

Norway shoots more whale then the japanese, only the species differ.Tyferra wrote:

have u seen how they kill cows in slaughterhouses? it may be quicker than half an hour, but they still suffer too
Actually yes I have, called a bolt gun and in 99% of cases the animal is dead before it knows whats going on... BANG!!! dead. Then again there is a different tradition in some countries where the animal has to be bled to death to follow religious rights and that does take longer but still is a hell of allot quicker than being harpooned dragged to the side of a boat and zapped four or five times.ericcartmanisbest wrote:

You are saying people are being dhot with 30cm long pice of steel with an explosive tip on the end of it? Dont get me wrong if whaling is part of your countries tradition by all means do it, but dont do it so that you kill off entire species of whales, and preferably find a diffrent way to kill em'herrr_smity wrote:

I see no reason for it to continue in present society. The exception being if a massive repopulation effort was undertaken to support the number removed from circulation so to speak. Since that won't ever happen ... Yeah, against it. There are no products derived from whales that do not have less destructive and more efficient counterparts.
Despite what whaling nations say, it won't be done "sustainably", if they have their way, whales will be extinct in 20 years.
Fuck Japan, fuck Iceland, fuck Norway, fuck whoever else wants to go whaling.

I'm against it, I think we have much to learn from them & the dolphins , it would be a shame to kill of the species before we learned everything possible, for example their ability to communicate across the world using sound waves & water.
I have tasted caviar & am not very fond of it & have never tasted whale , I suppose its easy for me to say all this since my lively hood doesn't depend on fishing but there are limits on any hunting, why would the sea be different.
Perhaps we could clone a bunch in the future or something but if we don't stop it soon they wont exist & I for one am against genocide unless it threatens our existence.

iam against it personally i think it cant be kept up without depleting the stocks
if people wanna take whales do it the traditional way in a kayak with a spear

Fatty, and not tasty enough to be worth the effort. If the Japanese and Norwegians want to keep doing it because they don't like being talked down to by cultures with questionable credentials, that's their prerogative.
Extinction is a bitch, but it's especially galling when foreigners kill off species we find telegenic. For mere food, no less -- it's barbaric! And the shortsighted focus of these people... it's hard to relate to such hubris...

Whaling is bad mmmkay??!!
If whales arnt found in your national waters, what right do you have to hunt in other countries?? Like the reason they arnt found @ home should be a big hint (overwhaling has made them scarce..........)
Japan turned down an offer of research data from NZL and Aussie just so they can continue the Sham and fraud.
Its inhuman, cruel and not needed. What will happen when whales become extinct in 50 years??
Thanks a shitload Japan, Norway and Iceland.........mainly Japan
I personally wouldnt mind finding out what would happen if a Jap whaling ship got caught in NZL
or Aussie waters - GO THE NAVY sink those sob's
Oh and 1 more thing - Data and DNA on whales is found by shooting a needle into a whale and extracting a piece of flesh about the size of your thumb (This is the type of research gathering that Japan has turned down......)
