First and foremost many types of whales are a protected species , also they're wild animals so hunting them is very different than farming chickens who're domesticated animals. | ||

Well, its the "hypocrisy" we teach ourselves, we can eat chicken or pig whole day, but because of whale meat being so distant for us we are allowed to make 3rd party judgements on this matter. Same goes for eating dogs or other animals we didnt't pigeonholed in our minds as "food". | ||

Obviously, I also oppose Japan and Iceland's commercial whaling as they're using the same excuse. | ||

This is a serious thing and its pretty disgusting that your making fun of an issue that we have tried to fix out for a long time. I'm really angry at what my mainland country is doing, I mean seriously? First they throw evolution out of their textbooks, enforce tiger parenting and now this... | ||

When whaling was unrestricted we over killed great whales, leaving orcas with no food, so they killed seals, sea lions, otters, etc which in turn affected everything on the ocean floor. When you breed and kill a chicken, you are not fucking with the ecosystem for commercial gain. While everything we do has an impact on the planet great or small, from chicken feed to killing whales, wanting to minimize that impact isn't hypocrisy. It's just the opposite of stupidity | ||

And their arguments of whales overeating fish is ridicuous cos its obviously from overfishing and not whaling. I think its pretty stupid that korea feels the need to flex its political and economic powers by hunting whales. | ||

I would say it's rather that we have no infrastructure for the farming of whales and hence there isn't sufficient population regeneration to make it sustainable on a large scale. It's better comparable to hunting larger mammals like elephants and giraffes or something. They are also said to be (supposedly) rather intelligent compared to cows, dogs, cats etc. | ||

It's just the opposite of stupidity To be fair. Factory farms are destroying the planet at a much larger rate than the whaling industry is... The difference is people like eating their meat, yet South Korea's whaling policies don't personally affect their lives, so they can get on their high horses and say that they should stop. So what you mean to say, is to "minimize impact as long as it doesn't change the way I live"... | ||

Seriously though, I really don't get this. If they were going to start whaling, why announce it to the world that you're hunting an endangered species for "science"? | ||

It's kind of pointless to cherry pick farming when industry, transportation, power stations, etc destroy the planet even more. The problem is humans and always has been. I still don't see how we arrive at "welp, if you're not gonna eradicate humanity we may as well get back to killing all the whales" What I mean to say is pretty much exactly what I said "there is no point in hunting whales, it is stupid" | ||
