Well, Johannes, that is the problem. There is no binding injunction against it that I can see, although I think that we have an appropriate resistance to the unnecessary killing of animals with which we feel a special bond, and in some instances properly find it barbaric. For example, we disapprove of drowning kittens, and in the West we would sooner become vegetarians than eat dogs. In the case of whales, there is a sense that they (and porpoises and dolphins) are highly intelligent, and therefore more like us than most animals, and thus there is a special resistance to the wanton slaughter of them...
