Can't help the way I feel.

There are 7 billion people in the world. There are a few thousand humpback whales. The Japanese are angling to hunt every type of whale, even those on the verge of extinction. If a few Japanese whalers die - good news - it really won't matter in the grand scheme of the world anyway.

I despise whaling, or sealing, or any hunt for that matter. Simply not my thing. I always vote for the bear in the bear hunt.
