I agree that pigs are smart, but they are domesticated for food production and to me that does make a difference. Whales in the wild seem a different matter to me. Eat them if you want. I won't.

The pigs I hunt are a cross between feral pigs and wild european boars, and are anything but domesticated. They also breed like crazy and are quite destructive to the environment is left uncontrolled. But the point is hunting whales should not be viewed as any different than any other hunting. Restrictions should be based on scientific wildlife management, not emotional tree hugging.
