Umm, actually the natives are allowed to kill whales because it's their cultural right. And if you are in alaska and share with native friends, it's not importing or a black market. My husband was in alaska and ate whale once with some friends up there. If someone is SELLING the meat/blubber or shipping it elsewhere.. then you'd have an issue.

And there's folks who claim that the family dog is just like a person too, and they are working to give the dog equal rights like a human, but that has nothing to do with whether someone should eat a dog somewhere. It's still just an opinion. You can pretty much teach a chicken to do almost every trick they've shown dolphns doing. It's all in how you interpet the data.
