Anti-whaling propaganda?
I haven't seen it yet but a friend told me it has anti-whaling propaganda. Is there truth to this? I usually don't like preachy movies.
shareWhales are okay man, don't be a retard.
shareSo are pigs but they're still tasty.
sharePigs are many, grow fast, and you can eat it all (except the squeal). Whales are few, grow slowly, and are mostly inedible.
shareIt takes like more than a thousand chickens to get the same meat as from a single whale. Why do you hate chickens?
Whales arent being overhunted as it is. Why should a country like Iceland which has always treated its resources respectfully be punished for the former mistakes of others?
Hey I thought we were talking about pigs, not baby dinosaurs!
Anyway, you can grow chickens as they don't take up much space.
I am 100% for Icelanders hunting whales with the same technology they used to hunt whales 200 years ago, before they whored out to technology made by people with other interests.
Really? Ever looked at how many we hunt compared to their total population? It's such a tiny fraction it would still be sustainable if we multiplied it. You talk as if we are using technology to hunt as many as we can which is not the case.
Personally I think hunting free animals is way better than factory farming which is basically torturing an animal it's entire life.
Killing large animals is also better than smaller ones because fewer conscious beings are sacrificed that way.
May I ask which country you're from?
Factory farming is sustainable by definition. Hunting animals that take decades to develop and live as long as you (in the wild!) is another thing. Have some respect.
I'm from Europe.
Unlike many other nations we Icelanders respect our natural resources. Which is why the number we hunt is so low it does not threaten the population.
shareThen why did you become so agitated? You could have said "Yeah whales are ok I guess" or not take any whaling propaganda (if the movie were one...) directed at you. There are probably more maritime things that hurt whales than whaling.
sharePersonally I do agree with you about hunting. In my area of the U.S there is an overpopulation of deer and the only thing keeping the population down is humans hunting. Coyotes more often hunt other animals or get into peoples' garbage. The wolves are all gone except for a few states in the U.S.
I don't get these people who want an overpopulation of deer just because they think it's wrong for people to kill animals for meat. Then again I think people like that are kind of crazy anyway. There is nothing wrong with eating meat and dairy. You get more protein from meat and dairy than you do from vegetables and fruit. You should still eat vegetables and fruit but they do not have the protein dairy and meat have.
How can you compare whales, which range from the size of your car to the size of a skyscraper, with deer?! And what's the deal with coyotes? Whales never had any natural predator (maybe except sharks, which are doing fine, thank you).
And in case you are immune to common sense, consider that there are 35 million deer in the United States while there are 1.5 million whales in the whole world... and as oceans take up 38x as much (or 3800% more) space as the United States... some whale species which take decades to reproduce have less than 50.000 exemplars left.
Wow! Lighten up! I wasn't comparing the 2. I was mainly saying I agree hunting whales in small amounts is fine. What I was saying is that people need to hunt deer since there's an overpopulation of them all over the U.S. Sheesh! You get offended way too easily.
