I like whales as much as the next guy...All creatures great and small, good karma and all that jazz. There's a certain grace to them and they sing nice, but, in the end, they're still animals and while I think that cruelly killing or killing for fun is pretty distasteful, I have no problem with killing animals in general.
I would think that a large, parliamentary body such as the IWC would know a lot more about whales and the briny sea than me sitting on my butt in a library. So, I'm probably going to trust them when they say 'this needs to be done' regardless of how much I hate those fucking Finns.  |
You trust very easily.
See, I have been working in the big bad real world for 20 years. I can assure you that everything that happens happens for one reason and one reason only.
Money.
Corporations would sell you dog shit wrapped up as twinkies if they could get away with it. In the corporate world, the ONLY thing that matters is the bottom line. It's all about increasing sales, growing the business and cutting costs. Morality never ever enters the equation. (They might say it does, but I can assure you, it does not.)
The IWC is only interested in one thing. Money.
To trust them to regulate the whale population is akin to trusting the arsonist to run the gas station.
