(2) BUT YOU EAT COWS, THEY EAT WHALES.... WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE ?

Hunting whales for a food source goes against all logic. Whale meat is laden with extremely dangerous metals that break down the human central nervous system in a matter of years. Mercury, Methyl Mercury, Cadmium, DDT & PCB’s are some of these.

In effect, Japan is poisoning its own citizens. What is deeply concerning is the
fact; they are trying to introduce the whale meat into schools under “School lunchtime programs”.

Furthermore whales cannot be farmed like Cattle can be. Females give birth to a single calf. Nursing time is long (more than one year in many species), which is associated with a strong bond between mother and young. In most whales, reproductive maturity occurs late, typically at seven to ten years of age.

This is in stark contrast to Cattle, Sheep or Pigs that mature much quicker and breed far more often which enables us (humans) to sustain their populations.

Clearly there is NO such thing as “sustainable whaling” when looking at these figures like you can do with cattle, sheep or pigs.

The world learnt this when previous whaling saw whale populations decline by up to 90%, hence the moratorium on whaling which came into effect in 1986.
Harvesting only 1000 whales a year would be the equivalent to wiping Germany off the map each year. It can't be allowed.
