   Well, the Koreans are selling dog meat. The Chinese are selling animal parts. The Americans are selling hamburgers and fried chicken. There is nothing human wouldn't eat. Unless we ban the killing of all animals, I don't see anything wrong with this.

   Hi all,
   Well there is a slight difference between whales and cattle, cattle are not in short supply or an endangered species, the whales are, that's the whole point, that's why half the countries in the world are pleading with Japan to stop.
   The whales can make more profit by not killing them than to kill them for expensive meals. Australia has whale watching vacations which is a multi million dollar industry, it makes more sense to keep them alive than to kill them off.

   Tony,
   Thanks for the update and sorry that i missed your earlier comment in my blog, Third Rock, on the 21 Nov.
   
   The whole sorry episode speaks volumes abt monetary considerations over the needless slaughter of the whales. Whale meat, i gathered, is part of Japanese cuisine but the strangest part is that even though it has been proven that whale meat is toxic, the Japanese still consumes it.
   
   Thks a lot for stumbling my article. I think there are a lot more concerned people out there abt the needless slaughter of the whales as Magical Melodies and The Songs of Pain accounted for more than half of the total traffic since Third Rock was launched abt two weeks ago.
   
   And happy holidays to you too!

   I'm still in shock and awe that this 'experiment' was allowed to go forward. This just proves that hunting a lot of whales for science is really code for, 'we miss eating whale meat!' Its absolutely appalling!
