These number aren’t a lot.
Personally I think there is a knee jerk reaction here to any animals or environmental group. It might surprise you, and it did surprise me, that mark levin and many other conservative leaders oppose whaling.
What’s the point? Not one wants to eat the meat, we’re well beyond using them for fuel. The article is right, this is probably nothing more than a japanese honor game.
How many of your fish and gamers out there believe we should do away with laws protecting game from over harvesting? Or would your depopulate the forests of deer and the lakes of bass too? Maybe your don’t care if your children get to hunt and fish, or see whales.
Read post six which debunks the notion that the japanese are wiping out the whales. Your comparison to eliminating fish and game laws is therefore, incorrect.
