Some of these magnificent creatures would eat you alive without seconds thoughts if they wanted to. There's nothing magnificent about the chaos and brutality that exists in nature.

Same. :meh:

I bet that with enough trial and error, I could make some bomb whale steaks.

Now, how do I procure some whale for my trials?

No it's not. It's just a bunch of animals that happened to evolve differently, struggling to survive while having a very limited understanding of what they are doing or why. It's a bloody struggle between beings that are clumsy, dumb and just plain pathetic. Don't try to romanticize it.

So long as it is controlled (ie not hunting to extinction) I have no real issue with this.

It's beautiful and full of amazing contrasts. Don't be a reductionist because you don't appreciate the beauty of death and decay. It's beautiful to watch a deer. It's also beautiful to see a deer fall prey to a predator.

I'm hungry now and we only ever only eat cheap fast food. :(

Is someone other than you in charge of the groceries? Or could you cook good food with a little instruction?

Good for Japan. Hope they have a Whale of a time.

That being said, hopefully, if sales are low they might consider opening it up on the foreign markets. Would love to try me some at the local Cabelas.

Why is it more immoral then hunting other animals?

Perhaps I'm wrong here, but wasn't it abandoned because they hunted endangered whales and were pushing them to extinction?

That is why I find it immoral.

That depends on which whale species. The one being hunted in Japanese waters is not threatened, I believe.

If that's the case then it isn't as bad as I initially thought.

Cabelas won't sell it. At least, not until they also sell the equipment for you to procure your own. Actually, since Bass Pro Shops now owns Cabelas, they'd probably carry it first.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.

Also, now that I think about it a little more, I'm pretty sure Cabelas would in short order have on it's shelves a DIY smokehouse rub tailored for various selects of whale meat in short order if this came to pass as well. Bourbon Beluga, Blue Cheese Whale, Killer teriyaki whale sauce, ect ect

No meat? Are you insane?

Do you expect people to eat tofu for their protein for the rest of their lives.

Til you're married, you can buy as many whale skulls as you want.

They'll probably quietly disappear shortly after the wedding but still. :p

I highly encourage everyone who wants to eat Tofu to eat as much as they want, as that will place less strain on my food chain thus insuring a more steady supply of bloody red meat for my consumption pleasure.
