Some people think premarital sex is immoral, but others do not. Some people will think killing these whales is immoral, and some will not.
Like most things, this all just boils down to opinion.

Excellent point, but some Africans feel the slow, ritualistic stoning of a woman for adultery is appropriate punishment. Some cultures feel the removal of a woman's clitoris is necessary to keep a woman obedient to her husband. In the American south, some felt that the murder of an African-American child for saying “Hey baby” was appropriate and justified. In some southern cities, the shutdown of all public schools was seen as appropriate and justified because African-American students tried to attend them.
I don’t feel as though I am being judgmental, intolerant, or racist by saying that the above-mentioned practices are barbaric and savage. For me, the hunting of an endangered species which has just started to recover from centuries of over hunting is a practice that should be condemned – regardless of political ploys.
