>> the industry, such as it is, is being kept alive on taxpayer life support
If that’s the criteria for shutting down an industry, then the solar power/wind power/wave power industries all need to go bye-bye.
Add in the ethanol fuel industry. No taxpayer subsidy, no profit in ethanol, no ethanol industry.

They can’t be killed quick enough!
As far as the whales, they are stinking, literally, useless sacks of blubber !!!
Use whale blubber to power generators. Both problems solved.
I’m more than OK with shutting ALL of those down by cutting them off from the govt teat...
Add welfare to your list also.
OK. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I'll give up whaling, so long as they also promise to shut down everything you've mentioned, and you can add ALL farm subsidies to the list. The government shouldn't subsidize any industry except in the exceptionally rare instance where it protects or benefits our national security.
I thought that the Japanese were whale "research scientists" working for the non-profit ICR.
That argument should make any honest greenie’s head explode. Too bad there are very, very few honest greenies.
In Japan they eat whales and love to kill them all over the place into extinction.
