I return my point - who are you to tell people what they can and cannot eat?
Whilst no-one will starve, why should anyone be denied their traditional food? Inuit still kill and eat whales.
Anyhow, what makes whales so special, any more than any other mammal that is hunted and fished and sent to the abottair?
Traditional Japanese restraunts in Japan serve whale. It is traditional crusine, and whale meat prevented Japan from starving in the post war period, when food and protein were scarce. Many parts of the world eat dog or rat. I cannot see why anyone should be prevented from a modest catch of whale. Whilst some species of whale are on the endangered list, others are not. Dugong are endangered, but they are still hunted in this country.
