“Is there any valid reason for hunting anything in your opinion? “

Yes

“There is a market for whale isn’t there?”

Probably. There’s a market for cocaine and prostitutes too.

“Why would they buy something if it had no value?”

Value is relative - see above.

“I just want to understand how you came to that conclusion.”

NOBODY needs wahle meat to survive and there is no real market for whale bone or baleen. Whales are magnificent creatures, highly intelligent and whaling is an exceedingly brutal business.

I think hunting deer or bear for instance is fine. There are lots of them both - they are a plague on the olandscape, people can eat them and they can be killed relatively easily - if you know what you are doing.

Some animals are more equal than others.

According to you. So in order to hunt anything on the planet, it first must be cleared by...you? You are going to be a busy guy overseeing all of those requests.

I agree with you and have said so on previous threads. For these reasons I support Sea Shepard, and only in this.

Many people on these threads have never seen a whale except on television.
