So you don’t think we should hunt ducks, geese, pheasant, quail etc etc?

Look I think Japan sucks for killing whales, period. They don't need the food and they lie and bribe to retain a supposed "cultural" tradition.

There are no laws governing the cruelty which is used to kill them.

And this website, Whaling Facts Summary says they have killed humpbacks and other endangered whales, and they defy a supposed protected region to kill.

So yes, Paul Watson is a space cadet at best, and I don't like his associations nor his apparent marxist beliefs, but I don't think we need to kill whales, when we have already killed them down to near-extinction.

If the same numbers and percentages were applied to bald eagles in this country, the killing of whales would not happen at all. It is only because they are in the ocean and only the nutcase Watson is willing to go out there and do something about it.

So good on him for putting his money where his mouth is, at least, and not being a liar.

We have laws, and so does much of the world for keeping killing of mammals humane, but somehow the whales get the short end of the stick time after time. They deserve better.
