Message | We have stated this before, whaling can be used for hunting and not just commercial gains. Quotas are enough to protect the population. We will vote against this bill. |

Message | Whaling as hunting is simply ridiculous to say and no one must have a dissenting view point to agree. Firstly, whaling requires a massive vessel with specialized equipment and a full crew. None of this can be purchased by your average citizen. This would need to be done by a corporation or multimillonare. Besides that, whaling, as stated, serves no functional economic or societal purpose. Their is no possible way that most average citizens wish to hunt or even feasibly can hunt whales. And we do not know the long term implications that killing whales will have, even if we have placed restrictions on it. The ecology of the ocean is delicate and you are wishing to further harm the environment. |
