LOL!Oh, yummy...But seriously folks, culture is the means by which we maintain certain values, and not all cultures are equal. Just because some people eat dog doesn't mean that it is "merely cultural", any more than widows throwing themselves on funeral pyres is "merely cultural". Some things are barbaric, period. Besides, even if there is a contextual precondition, it merely puts the question at a higher order of generality--- so it may be okay to eat dogs, but not true pets, whatever they may be in that locale. As long as there is a kinship with whales perceived by Western man, it makes sense that there should be a reluctance to see them harmed....
