Tim, so you feel that whales are not a part of the ecological system and therefore, their absence will have no impact. Do you think that most species of animals are redundant to our survival? I do believe the whales absence will have almost no direct impact on us except the psychological. I don't want their absence to happen, but they have minimal direct impact on us. Other protected species like the snail darter or even the grizzly bear could go extinct without much impact on our lives. That doesn't mean that I am in favor of extinctions of many different animal or plant species, just that your original statement implying that we would not be far behind if the whales go extinct in illogical or atleast not supported by observed facts or relevant argument.
