I thought that they have a "quota" or limit... Anyway, we kill millions of animals per year for food, clothing, convenience, etc but he no fair killing a few whales.

We aren't looking at the extinction of cows anytime soon. Whales, on the other hand, are being hunted out of existence.

I love how they show all the blood and what not when a whale is harpooned... If you want to see blood, mosey on up to your friendly local slaughter house on any given day. You may not like it but what the Japs are doing is LEGAL. Personally, I don't get it, what could make whaling worth their while is beyond me.... It's almost got to be some kind of research, I can't see them making any profit even if they were left alone... 50 whales a year= how much yen?
Dude, I grew up on a cattle ranch. Trips to the slaughterhouse twice a month since I was 6.

It's a touchy feelie objection... these people don't care about facts or figures. No number of whales being harvested is acceptable to these kooks.

What I find interesting... is we hunt deer and Elk, and many other animals due to over population... yet the most Over-abundant animal on earth... is Human. lets start population control... then I'm sure we won't have as many problems with other animals going extinct
