Should the international ban on the hunting of whales be lifted?

 

[Peaceful]

No. Simple answer.

 

[Raven]

^ Why not?

 

[Evil Eye]

Tourism.



Why would we want to hunt whales?

 

[dynastygal]

No...not that the ban matters much...it's still flaunted regularly like most hunting bans.

 

[Corleone]

No. Simple answer.

Ditto. Leave the whales alone, they're awesome.

 

[Peaceful]

^ Why not?

Why would you? Whales are amazing creatures, there's no need for them to be killed.

 

[Kasynlie]

Why would you? Wales are amazing creatures, there's no need for them to be killed.

Wales is a country. Unless you mean whales?

 

[Peaceful]

It's obvious that i meant that...

 

[Corleone]

Wales

That's funny. I'd say I'm against hunting whales & wales.

Uh oh the grammar police entered this thread.

Anyways, what resources do we get from whales?

Isnt lipstick made from whale blubber?

 

[xneseyx]

a lot of things used to be made from whales. lipstick, perfume, and when women wore them, corsets where lined with whale bones because they were stronger than whatever they were using before. I don't know what else is made from whale parts, but what people did was kill the whale, take the parts they needed, and let the rest just float away. it was a horrible waste of resources and life. and it was a painful way to die! they threw harpoons at the whales which are basically toothpicks to us, but a lot sharper. and they threw harpoons at the whale until it died. wouldn't that be an awful way to die? and just because we're supposed to be more civilized doesn't mean that we would've come up with a nicer way to kill them. so leave them alone!

 

[Peaceful]

Yeah, the Japanese are horrible people, and they have no respect for life, or they don't see what they are doing is wrong.



There's some news about the Sea Shepherds new 1.5 million dollar ship destroyed by them.
