What's the difference between killing a whale and killing a cow?
Tell me, really, ....what good are whales?
Oh, I know, you're all gonna' say something politically correct about "eco-this" and "ecosystem-that", but that's not really an answer to the question. So, ....really, what good are they? If they all disappeared tomorrow, would we even notice it?
Baron Max
yes we would.
Oh right. Good question.
Nothing, I suppose.
Would you eat longpig? I would. Tastes like pork, so I've heard.
The petition isn't about eating them though, it's about using them for so called 'scientific research' (some dispute that this is the true intention). What do you think about that?
I'm confused. You mentioned cows but your sources appear to be discussing the link between whales and hippos. I'm guessing that you make the worst cup of tea in the world.
(Only kidding. Fascinating stuff.)
Wouldn't this upset the global milk/water balance? Weak cuppas worldwide would surely be the inevitable and catastrophic result.
japan and scandanavia just aren't going to stop whaling
They will when the whales are all gone.

I didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if someone already posted this. If they did, then just ignore it.
I was sickened to see how whale hunters killed a 50-ton bowhead whale off the Alaskan coast. The pictures were sickening.
I think anyone who wants to hunt a whale (or any living animal/mammal) should have to do it by hand with no weapons.
