The only reason I don't support whaling is that I believe it is unsustainable. Does anyone else feel this way?
I don't get what makes whales "special".
Then again, I very much have the hunter/predator instinct. I track, kill, cook, and eat animals.
No two ways about it though, the captain of the Sea Shepherd was a founding member of Greenpeace who was kicked out for being too extreme. Not only that, but I believe endangering the lives of their own crew, and the crew of the whaling ships is very wrong.
