They aren't killing or oppressing our people, and they aren't destroying our economy. What they do in their own waters is up to them.

Additionally, it appears you may have failed to read your own link. The news article says that it's Minke and Bryde whales, neither of which are listed as endangered in your above post. And even if they were, 300 whales a year is rather inconsequential.
