well done sea shepard, page-21

"can you imagine jesus (or an equivilent being) shooting a harpoon into a whale, or even eating it?"

Jonah who is considered a saint by many got swallowed by a whale, how many people go missing at sea and were actually swallowed by whales?
The Japanese are trying to stop whales eating swimmers you should be thankful.

OK SERIOUS NOW
Whaling has been a part of many nations culture over thousands of years what right to we have to stop that? Just eating rice is not enough to sustain the Japanese that is why they had so many medical problems in the past due to a lack of protein
You have to refer to Kanehiro Takak and his experiments with the sickness beriberi to understand why the Japanese are interested in whaling.
