And of those that are, what loopholes have the respective governments used to bypass protections and hunt these whales? | ||

Minke whales have been identified as an endangered species, why the koreans would feel the need to go out and kill more of them than the japanese already do i have no idea. And as far as the Japanese arguement for it where they claim we slaughter thousands of cattle every year and it being no different. When you sustainably farm something as far as im concerned theres nothing wrong with it, but Japan and now Korea go out into the ocean and slaughter the whales as they migrate every year without the slightest consideration of how much they damage they're doing to bio-diversity in the oceans and tourism industries across the south pacific for a delicacy so in demand that they have warehouses full of whale meat which can barely be given away. | ||

When you sustainably farm something as far as im concerned theres nothing wrong with it. I'm with the Japanese; take a step back and it's the same thing as slaughtering cows. If you want someone else to stop killing then a good place to start is to lead by example and figure out how you are contributing to killing and then doing something about it  On July 06 2012 13:39 tsango wrote: Korea go out into the ocean and slaughter the whales as they migrate every year without the slightest consideration of how much they damage they're doing I think you're burying your head in the sand when it comes to the damage caused by cow farming XD | ||

I guess we could argue though that evil is just an aesthetic ideal that's internal to the mind of whoever is thinking it, and only gets applied to imaginary people, not actual people (i.e. I think you are evil, but it is not you who are 'evil' simply my concept of you), unless someone truly thinks themselves to be evil. Evil doesn't actually mean anything though. It's less a descriptive term, more a relational term that is applied to something to justify a range of relationships or stances one can take in regard to what it's being applied to. We're also a lot of other things too. But yeah, what about that whaling, damn. Hunting endangered intelligent species. Definitely not smart eh EDIT: I guess not endangered, just below historic levels, and not recovered in some populations. Don't see why people are jumping on you since you disproved your own point in your own post. Simple enough. | ||

It means there are other countries that are whaling. The same countries that opposed to Korea's vote for resuming whaling. How are these whales caught? Research or Commercial or through Accidental Netting? By the use of gigantic aircraft carrier. Seriously, does it matter? Whales are killed when they are caught. Regardless of in which way they are caught. Does it account for inuit population? Whaling in Canada, the Carribean, Indonesia? Maybe, maybe not. But it doesn't matter. Tell me the difference between aboriginal whaling and whaling in Korea or Japan. What about Iceland? Norway? What about them? What exactly are you asking here? I don't really care much for which side you're trying to argue, but realistically know what you're trying to present in a post... Fact that you are asking series of questions that could be answered by simple google search, know what you are trying to ask. | ||

Is whaling bad? Sure. Is domesticated concentration camps for slaughter just as bad? Yeaps. Does it bother me that I eat meat anyway? Not really. Do I try to create an illusory rationalization to justify my meat eating behavior? No, I'm a bad boy. How do I live with myself? I feel sad, then I go out and eat a steak and feel happy. Why meat taste so good!? | ||
