CTC,

I assume you are an absolute vegetarian. You must also oppose hunting and fishing in all forms and animal husbandry too. If not, then opposing whale hunting by a tribe with a heritage of doing just that is hypocrisy.

They quit hunting whales because they couldn't be true to their spiritual heritage by hunting an endangered species. They did this before Greenpeace and Sea Shepherds even exsisted. Now the whales can sustain such limited hunting.

To claim, as you seem to be doing, that this tribe's hunt is going to destroy the earth is absurd. Your use of electricity, a car, heat for your home does more damage to the ecosystem than this tribe's hunt will ever do. When you give all that up you will be in a position to preach to the rest of us.

As for using rifles instead of harpoons I say good for them. The whale they do take will be dispatched quickly with little chance that it will escape wounded and suffer for an extended period.

We all kill to survive. The difference between killing a carrot or a whale is only a creation of the human mind. Did you thank the beings that gave up their lives for your salad last night?
