Intro to FAQ

Over the past few months, we have been getting the same questions every week from Pro-whalers, People sitting on the fence and from trolls.

To save the hassle of constantly re-writing answers you will find below a blog of these questions.

You will find many of the answers overlap answers to other questions. Some of you will also notice, I have stolen your posts and links that you have previously mentioned.

I’ve tried to keep the answers succinct and to the point as much as possible, however some answers need more to them and others have blown out.

Please feel free to add any other question/answers of your own.

Hopefully there will be a time when we can just say “Click this link and read point (5) and you will get your response”.
