What is your opinion of whaling 🐋?

[TravelingMaaike]

I think it's cruel.

That Herman Melville story is ok though.

Moby Dick (1851) that is.

Moby Dick is one of my least favorite books tbh. No offense. We get it the whale's a symbol of the captains obsession. Shorten that down to one chapter. The book does make a person want to cut into a nice hunk of whale steak though! Jk

It's murder.

[TravelingMaaike]

I know

[msc545]

I could not under any circumstances ever approve of any of that. It's absolutely horrible.

[Sonorous]

I think people do too damn much.

Since there is nothing that you can get from a whale that is that vital to mankind we should stop hunting them. Whale oil lamps went out 200 years ago.

Whaling is like murder. Whales and dolphins are very smart and kinder than human beings.

At least in Moby Dick, the whale won. by the way that book is based on a true story, so there is a little justice every now and then.

Many years ago, people didn't know any better. Now we do.

I am against harvesting of threatened/endangered/at risk species.

[AngryCarl2]

I agree. I wouldn't want a harpoon stuck in me either. Plus whales are at risk of extinction.

[shortster]

Whales are just the cows of the sea. As long as it isn't overdone and the meat is >95% used.

[Mansearching]

Should be outlawed
