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.

Are those japs whaling close to Australian / New Zealand waters? I know they have been taking their pick from the Antarctic whale sanctuary...

I think its OK for indigenous peoples of Alaska and Antarctica for food, clothing and oil. But i have to say, i see no good in commercial Whaling at all. In this day and age, countries and peoples with alternate means of food and shelter and fuel have NO legitimate need to kill whales.

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'
you said scale it all down.

I did say scale it down, have you deen the size of the harpoons they use? They're massive!

At the very least, stop pretending you're doing 'scientific research' when you can do exactly the same thing fairly painlessly and harmlessly.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

I agree with your mindset on this one.

Whales are animals and part of the food chain
humans are animals and part of the food chain
there are still tribal peoples whose livelihoods depend on whales and clubbing cute lil baby seals, which are all part of the food chain

Should they be hunted to extinction? no
Should we use the most humane means at our disposal? yes
I personally have no use for whale, so I won't be out killing any, I do kill deer, turkey, squirrel, rabbit, dove, and other such cute disney creatures, but I also eat them
If you don't need a whale, don't kill one

why dont they drug the whales then kill them, wouldnt that be more humane then blowing up a small part of them and waiting for them to struggle there way to terminal blood loss.

"er, that'll be a tonne of sedatives for one whale please" DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THEY ARE? It would take a whole lot more than to sedate a human. What they do anyways, is they use and electric harpoon, which is designed to kill the whale fast. If it dies slowly, hte meat becomes poisoned and o use to humans. But the blubber is still there for the taking.
