      Why do you care more about one person than your culture of murdering whales? Why do you speak up about him but not your tradition that you apparently don’t participate in??

        So the person who said this rhetoric breeds racism and xenophobia is now being demanded to renounce their culture and apologize for the actions of other people (just because they’re the same ethnicity)…

        Sounds like they were right.

        Well. I don’t see anything inherently wrong in killing whales for food if it is done sustainability and humane. I much prefer it to wasteful battery farming.

          No amount of whaling is currently sustainable, and won’t be for many generations.

            Long-finned pilot whale, Atlantic white-sided dolphin. Neither are endangered, on the contrary: Both are listed as Least Concern.

          Gross. Whales are intelligent, social creatures. That’s like eating chimpanzee.

            I haven’t tasted chimpanzee but I doubt it’s the same. I have tasted pig, which are also intelligent and social, and it tasted nothing like whale.

            When your moral arguments only apply when they fit your world view. They mean nothing.

              Maybe they also don’t eat pigs? I eat meat (FUCK chickens), but I haven’t eaten pork for years after getting to know my neighbors pet pigs. Sure, they’re more socialized and a whole different breed from factory farm pigs, but still they’re too smart for me to be comfortable eating them. But my point here is that you’re accusing them of hypocrisy or inconsistency, without ever establishing that they actually are being hypocritical or inconsistent.
