I think it would be a pity if we could only see whales on pictures.
Furthermore I think Japan should listen to all those people who are against it and that they don't use lame excuses like 'scientific purposes', besides I'm a vegetarian so I won't eat it anyway.

It would also be a pity if we could only see salmon, crab, and lobsters in pictures.

You don't know until you try.

I don't think that'll happen. Salmon, lobsters, crab and shrimps are small enough to raise for human consumption. We can't raise whales nor keep them captive.

That's a good point and like Yoite said, only being able to see pictures of whales would be sad.

You need to update your information. Some species of salmon are seriously being considered for the endangered list. There is also a serious shortage of eel. Salmon and eel are becoming scarcer despite farming, because of the over consumption. The supply is not a plentiful and you make it sound.

But neither are whales.

I don't think that is what he was really meaning..

What he was trying to say was that he doesn't agree with killing whales as they are a threatened species.

It was in reply to MMM's post.

No, but my partner has.

Personally, I love Animal Planet's show Whale Wars.

If I could join the Sea Shepherds, I would.

I support people fighting for what they believe in, even if it's completely ignorant (I'm not talking about Whale Wars here). Then again, what's ignorant to me might be intellectual philosophy to you. Extremists may be annoying, but their behavior is an all too common trait of being human. Does this make sense to you?

I don't think such a question as "Is it okay to eat whale meat?" is appropriate, mainly because these questions make a hypocrite of us all. We answer through our own bias, and therefore, technically, no one can have a wrong answer.

This entire thread is bias.
