Why are people against killing whales?

[The Stonker]

Are they in any risk of being stop existing?
Think about it they eat tones of food every day and they are pretty much big blubber bags.
If your arguement is "They are so cute,I wear a whale T-shirton't hurt them" then your just being irrational.
So I ask you escapists, why shouldn't we just kill the whales? More food for us and I call it survival.


P.s. I come from Iceland where whale hunting isn't so illegal and everyone frown upon it so I don't get the point.

Because they're, you know, endangered.

 

[Neonbob]

Because they don't realize just how dickish whales really are.
Or they think they're cute somehow.
Or they didn't have their entire family killed by a roving pod of humpbacks.
The naive fools.

It's because they are in risk of being stop existing.

See, there is one thing that humans CAN NOT KILL OFF, or else we will all die.

That thing is PLANTS. Screw animals, they'd all die anyway. Being against killing "insert animal here" doesn't make any sense, because we can survive without them.

Oh yeah, and we'd need insects to keep the plants alive. So insects and plants. Don't kill em. Animals? Go ahead.

Erm.

Arbitrarily wiping out species of animal seems morally wrong to a lot of people (me included).

Whales don't go around wiping out people. They do other things [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/4034383.stm]. It is dreadful to think that a creature which some think of as "lesser" is capable of showing more empathy than a lot of humans.

i agree with you, if its not illegal and its part of your culture than you souldent have to deal with that kind of stuff.....god damn whale wars fakers.

 

[Davrel]

There is no reason to kill them other than to eat them. Demand, in this respect, greatly outstrips supply.

You're effectively eating them into extinction unnecessarily.

Think about it they eat tones of food every day and they are pretty much big blubber bags.

Plenty of people can be described in this way too, why not eat them if thats your only reasoning?

 

[reg42]

Where's Neonbob when you need him?

OT: Because humankind is a weak link who don't like to kill animals that might get extinct.
For some reason.

Right about...

I was going to mention something about controlling the fish population, but overfishing is currently a problem. Something about endangered species... I don't know. I'm sure they do something to help balance the ecosystem, but I don't know. I have a hard time believing that every single species on the planet is "playing its part". *shrug*

 

[Danny Ocean]

Are they in any risk of being stop existing?

Yes. There's also no good reason to wipe them out.

 

[Julianking93]

Because they're endangered.

Why the fuck else do you think we're against killing them?

Do research on the subject before you ***** about it.
