| Message | what do you meen by "whaling for scientific purposes is allowed"? Is that killing the whales, or is it just examine the whales, without harm them? |
| Date | 23:36:47, January 03, 2009 CET | From | League of Christian Socialists | To | Debating the Endangered Animals Act |
| Message | Presumably it allows whales to be captured on a very, very, very small scale, just for scientific purposes. I presume the definition of "whaling" assumes it may be possible to kill the animals. |
