Fun little question for you. How would you take care of the people who’s lives for generations have depended on that?
People first then animals.
It’s not bitching - it is about bringing an issue to the forefront.
Those people whose lives depend on whaling; this doesn’t go back for that many hundreds of years. Before they were whaling; before the technology was introduced to them; they were doing something else. They can be taught to support themselves by other means. It’s not the only way to live and humans are highly adaptible; we can adapt to just about any situation given.
It is insanity because these are intelligent, wondrous creatures with brains as big as ours. There are even theories that they are just as smart as us but choose to live their society in different ways.
Wow, your love for wales is very over the top. These people make there living off this legal industry. Taking away there jobs is just inhumane. While you are bitching about some alleged animal cruelty, maybe your next move should be to go after deer hunters. You know killing them for sport and all.
As I said before, I’m no big whale fan. But I know when something is clearly wrong to do.
If these whale hunters keep on doing what they’re doing, all the whales will be gone anyway. So they’re fucking themselves up the ass. In the long run they are screwed, no matter what. They will have nothing left to hunt within a century at the rate they are going, believe me. Then their younger generations will pay the price. So they might as well learn to do something new because they are shitting in their own backyard and eventually it will overwhelm them.
You think I don’t care about people? Look, if I defend animals this fervently, you can be rest assured that I would take a ten times stronger approach on defending human rights.
Legality, industry and jobs are not always the compass for what is right or wrong. Plenty of legal things shouldn’t be legal. Plenty of illegal things shouldn’t be illegal. Plenty of industries are poisoning, corrupting, enslaving, killing in the name of profit. They are the ones who are inhumane. Plenty of jobs out there are useless or destructive jobs.
Do you think that just because deforestation is a “legal industry providing jobs”, that it should be allowed to continue, even though it will in the future, deprive us of the very air we breathe? If you believe in such things, you are horribly shortsighted.
I care about humans too - but sometimes people gotta think beyond their own anthropocentric world of petty concerns such as work, taxes, ipods, whatever the celebrities are doing, etc. and look at the wider reality around us.[/quote]
I am sorry, but of all the things to bitch about you bitch about this. Wailing does not hurt anything(besides the wales), If it starts to seriously affect thing I am sure it will stop. This is a legitament business helping many people make a decent living. From what it seems you would like to strip them of there job and your only solution is, Fuck it there are other jobs. But you fail to grasp that many towns need this to survive.

True. Not to hijack, but I saw a commercial on tv the other day asking for people to pledge money to help dogs and cats. Are we serious? There’s millions of people in the world that have to eat their own feet for breakfast.
Whales can suck my balls.
I don’t know about this. I’ve met a lot more humans I’d like to kill than I have whales.
Whales are pretty cool in my book, they just float around and don’t bother anybody. Humans can be annoying as shit.
If there were a combo petition for “save the whales and increase the rate of capital punishment”, I’d be all for it.[/quote]
I don’t have anything against whales or other animals…there’s too much of the hippy virus going around.

Maybe we can feed the dogs and cats to the feeteaters and solve both problems.
Let me know if you need more solutions.
[/quote]
I don’t need a solution as I could care less about feeteaters…Maybe we could let the whales eat the feeteaters and the Japanese eat cats and dogs?

For real? Wow. I knew things were bad, but that’s billions of feet we’re talking about over the course of a year. That’s atrocious, yet no one seems to care. Does anyone want to help me start a “Save the Feet” campaign?
Not on Our Watch! (aside: the Save Darfur slogan cracks me up. If it hasn’t been happening on “our watch” then when does our shift begin, because it’s been going on and continuing for quite a while now).
Whales can suck my balls.
I am jealous.

Don’t be jealous, just sign the NAWBLA petition.

How do you think they get so big? Plankton and krill alone can’t account for their massive physiques. Them whales are juicers! :P[/quote]
PMSL. And you notice how they operate in international waters? No seizure letters for them!
Is this sme kind of warped '70’s redux?
Get into a messy politicized war, protest against it, make smaller cars, then save the whales?
Is this going to happen again in 2037? Cause I don’t want to hear this hippy crap for a third time.
I’ve been saving whales for some time now.
They’re in my garden and getting a bit smelly now.

They can take care of themselves the same way you and I do.

This is not a legal industry. Commercial whaling is illegal. The Japanese do it anyway but they claim it is scientific and then they sell the meat.

I’d definitely sign that petition.
Whaling is hilarious!
Oh wait, we’re not talking about boning fat chicks?
Oh yeah, the other one with the killing isn’t as cool.

“Wailing” and “wales”? Seriously? In the same paragraph? That’s just painful.
At least it’s legitament.

No, I’m serious, that’s a lot of fucking feet being needlessly eaten. And they don’t have much nutritional value to boot (pardon the pun).
As for the whales, I fish them for sport. I’ve got a large sperm whale mounted over my fireplace.

I think we should give GreenPeace license to sink them. The US navy created a lot of good marine habitat out of the Japanese Navy in the early 40’s. Show the whole thing live on Pay Per View.
