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.
I agree completely! I'm a hunter/fisher and do the same. If the animals you're hunting can't sustain the numbers to survive then, that's when they shouldn't be hunted or killed. Ither then that, I have no problems with it as long as it isn't a useless killing for fun. I use all that I can of an animal I have hunted or caught. If I have excess, then I provide to others.
