I find you to be narow minded for opposing whale hunting. A sustainable hunt of a natural renewable resources is the most eco friendly form of meat production today and should be welcomed in an age where we face severe environmental problems.
I just dont have a problem with people whale hunting. What is annoying is some foreigner coming in and telling people what meat is acceptable and what isnt.
Let me ask you? Are you a vegeterian? If you are then why is it more wrong to kill 1000 non endangered Minke whales a year than 1 millions cows daily which also have much worse environmental consequences than killing 1000 minke whales? Free Willy! Save the whales!
My opinion is my own, yours is your own. You take things too personally and fail to recognize that an argument is directed at your logic and not at you. Calling someone narrowminded because they disagree with you is hardly an effective debating tool and it makes you look quite childish.
By the way, this is an international website and everyone here is a 'foreigner'. I can only interpret your comments to mean that you think my opinion is linked to my nationality and your sovereign right to do something is thusly under attack. Guess what, I don't give a rat's *** where you're from, and where I'm from is also irrelevant. This is a discussion on dolphins, whaling, hunting, etc., and THAT'S the topic. Stop being so sensitive.
Not that it bears any relevance to the discussion but I'm not a vegetarian, I eat certain kinds of fish and occasionally chicken. I rarely eat red meat; the odd time I do its because someone else prepared it or I'm at a restaurant. This is for my health, it's not a political stance. But regardless I do not support the modern farming industry any more than I support whale hunting. I exercise my personal choice by buying free-range grain-fed poultry products and domestic produce whenever possible. It's a tad more expensive but not only does one feel slightly better morally its also higher quality stuff and worth the expenditure.

Oh yeah, are there enough whales for EVERYONE to kill some and eat? I think if we turned to whales as a sustaintable food source they'd become extinct pretty quickly and we'd all be eating hamburgers again in no time. As GG pointed out, there enough cows and chickens for everyone, there aren't enough whales. Little thing called economies of scale.
Whales aren't that intelligent. Minke whales have less brain capacity than a cow. They are basically some fat piece of animal which basiacally just floats around the ocean making these weird sounds eating all the fish and some people think they are more worth than Jesus. Ah, missionaries. We eat what we please thank you very much.
Fat piece of animal.. that makes sounds.. I'm not one to play semantics but your disdain for whales and your eagerness to just blow them outta the water and eat them is pretty apparent. You don't have what I'd consider a balanced approach to the situation, you're trying to play the voice of reason for a misunderstood and demonized cultural practice yet in the same breath you don't seem to respect the very thing that's giving you your food and livelihood.
