I’m probably one of the few who don’t have a problem with whaling. But I also don’t have problems with hunting, caviar, goose liver pate, wearing fur or taxidermy either.
You’re not alone ... I have no objection to whaling, either.
Actually IMHO, I think you are in VERY good company.
I have an issue with the 'save the whales' crowd because they are also usually the first to scream 'choice' when the topic is saving the humans:
Well, eliminate the caviar and I'm with you.
