Japan to resume Whaling in 2019

[Telconi]

Have I not made myself clear?

Humans are omnivores, in nature, it’s hunt or be hunted

And in nature they eat only what they have too. They dont kill for fun or treat other species as a irritant.

People eat whale you know...

[San Lumen]

Im sorry you dont care and that profit and your own creature comforts are all that matter to you at the expense of bees, birds, fish and any other creature on this earth.

People like you are the reason I wish the series Zoo or the book Animal Farm would actually happen.

Then shut the fuck up about it, and stop lecturing me. Why don't you actually fucking do something instead of raising awareness with your armchair activism on a fucking forum? Not my fault we're omnivores, it's hunt or be hunted, get the fuck over yourself.

I have been doing something. I work for the parks department

Who is hunting us?

[Aureumterra]

Who exactly hunts whales for food as opposed to doing it commercially?

I believe a poster already stated that their communities did.

Yep, here, Whale is a staple food people rely on

[Alanis Star]

To reiterate my point, I'm sure that they are just going to whale the necessary amounts, without this going into a shark-fin fiasco. So, while I feel bad for the whales, it is also good that the people who rely on these creatures will be able to eat plenty once again.

I thought there already was an exception for them?

I mean, Japan has always seemed to be a bit obsessed about killing whales. I think Japan needs to chill on the whales though, there are quite literally other fish (or in this case, mammals) in the sea.

Why do we have to hunt these creatures anyway? How about we respect other creatures instead of treating them like or an annoyance or beneath us?

I’m sorry people don’t matter to you as much as whales but some rural communities don’t have the same luxuries as you do. They have to hunt animals in order to have enough to eat.

I have doubts that they’re doing this specifically for those particular rural communities.

The problem with the IWC is it failed it's original purpose.

There wasn’t which is why Iceland never complied with the act

[Chun Nan]

People need to eat Lumen. For some that means having to hunt.

Eat other things

So you're fine with me wanting to eat a rhino or anything else marked as endangered. That kind of undermines your argument.

Daily reminder, most whales, particularly those hunted for meat, aren't endangered.

Oh they’re likely doing it for the money. But these rural communities will benefit from that decision regardless of the motive.

Well it was Jeffery Dahmer, but I am sure there is/will be another human that is intent on hunting other humans.

No Im not

and lets put whales on the brink of extinction again.

I'm fine with it, what ever rocks your taste buds.

But it’s perfectly fine for humans to go hungry as long as you can pat yourself on the back?

You’d rather people starve to death than kill whales?
Growing up in a rural Icelandic village, many people don’t realize how important whaling is to people’s diets

Or we could not...

Just a figurative of speech to make my point

[San Lumen]

Lets just kill everything with no regulation because only we matter.

[San Lumen]

and lets put whales on the brink of extinction again.

Or we could not...

By not killing them

Yes because he hates his own kind because we're evil and shit. It's basic "muh feels" and "muh endangered species" are more important than starving people in other parts of the world.

Quit the hyperbole. Some regulation is needed to make sure the food source doesn’t run out. But yeah, that’s for the benefit of humans.

+10 points if they think countries like Japan and Iceland are 100% well to do rich people lands

Or we could kill them, but just not unsustainably...
