| Message | If cultures have, for centuries, survived on whaling then in a sense this is murder of a cultural sort... We do not support this bill, believing local governments can ban or allow (or restrict/limit) whaling as needed to maintain cultural heritage. |

| Message | Also, we find it utterly disgusting that the DSP are more concerned about whales, who they claim are sentient, then for children who are being abused simply by walking down Shiratoku streets. |

| Message | Whales, as well as all Top tier sentients (Humans are in that category) are of equal importance to us. |

| Message | That's disgusting. Utterly revolting. Whales are not sentient, and should never be placed above human concerns. |
