You don’t get it on purpose. Whales are more intelligent than almost any other animal. They should be protected and allegedly are by international law.

The Japanese choose to lie about their purposes and ignore the laws. They pay big money to lawyers and go right on turning thinking, feeling creatures into Japanese poop.

I prefer the whales over the Japanese. I had cousins who were prisoners for three years at Santo Tomas in Manila. They survived but many didn’t.

Whales never starved people to death or shot them for trying to scrounge food for others.

I have no idea whether that is true, but I'm not sure it's a valid criteria either.

Look, whales are magnificent creatures. 1 whale also provides a lot of meat.

Whales never starved people to death or shot them for trying to scrounge food for others.

Neither has any other animal.

Let's just acknowledge that you have a "soft spot" for whales, and leave it at that.

Like Teddy Roosevelt and others, people can be conservationists and also avid hunters at the same time. I don't see any contradiction there.

But if a whale stood between me and starvation for my family, I'd kill and eat it in a heartbeat.

If people had to hunt for their own meat, instead of having others doing the dirty work for them, there would be a lot less consumption of meat in this world.

You realize that most of the WW2 Japanese are dead right? You realize that by your logic, we here owe black people reperations for America’s actions of the past right?

Every stated position you have taken here is one of extreme liberalism. Every one.

I've seen dogs...that would blow your mind at how intelligent they are.

I've seen horses...that would also blow your mind at how smart they are.

I've seen some pigs that would blow you mind at how smart they were.

I knew of a donkey that was smarter than hell.......

So your Whales are more intelligent than almost any other animal. falls short.

So how do you come this conclusion?

You are a chick, right?
