This has been a pretty interesting thread so far. Personally I am against whaling. I think some of the comparisons on the first page were a little ridiculous. It would be interesting to see how many people in Japan were actually pro whaling, I would be surprised if it wasn't a minority - Does anyone know what percentage of the people over there actually eat whale.

Another point I would like to see politicians and activists raise is - where exactly is the research published that has been conducted and what benefits have been taken so far? Why aren't these points used in a more constructive manner when debating the pro's and con's of this practice - I think the whole world would be a bit more accepting if they cured cancer or heart disease as a result of this so called research. To date I think hunger is the only thing that has been cured
