The sustainable part is where most people have the problem, be it whales or eagle eggs.
Actually no...
In the case of the whales "theire so cute" or "theire sentinent beings" is the problem most people have..

And they're not even cute. Impressive, majestic, ok. But cute? Nah. I think they are in fact pretty ugly. But I still like whales despite their lack of cuteness. :D

Now a fluffy white baby seal, that's cute. :)

I disagree on both counts. They're whales. They aren't cute, and they aren't sentient. But they are a slow growing slow breeding species. Overharvesting is the problem. The Japanese and the Norwiegans use modern technology to hunt and kill whales. Then when there are protests, they whine and bitch that their ancestors were able to do it, they should too. OK, just like the Inuits, go ahead. Row the fricken' dory to the whaling grounds and harpoon a big'n. Tow it home, and cut it up on the beach. Salt it, just like grandpappy did. Don't be putting it in the fridge. That is the only way whaling is sustainable, as the whale has an even chance.

Whales are an endangered species, just like New England codfish were 10 years ago. Unfortunately, whales don't spawn like cod do. They won't be back for hundreds of years.

That's the problem most people have.
 
and tasty too! :thumb:

I like a nice sea turtle fritter. :D

And a bald eagle omelet. With a garnish of lady slipper.
