when its natives using primitive spears such as those its perfectly fine with me, its the commercial whalers using explosive harpoons that i feel is wrongNoto;2918590; said:And when it's survival hunting of whales?
at first I thought the spear whaling was photo shopped (thats extreme hunting). I guess at least the whale has a chance to flip their small boats, plus I doubt that the scale of kills done by those hunters could decimate a population of whales. Thirdly and this is a hope, they probably use more/ most of the animal.
if it's survival hunting for whales by peoples that have been practicing this for generations, I see no problem. When you are a powerful nation that does not need to rely on a food source as limited as whales and you do it anyways, there is a problem.
I agree with this and would go so far as to say that I even have a problem with people like certain Eskimo villages who hunt whales in limited numbers out of tradition and not out of need. If they were hunting them to feed and provide for their tribe then that's one thing. Continuing to hunt them, regardless of the small number they catch, simply because their ancestors did is wrong imo.
I could really care less whether its natives or aliens doing the fishing, but if you've got the balls, and or skills, to hold a spear and jump in the water and spear a fish/whale bigger than you, then you've got my respect and consent to hunt what you want.
But that sucker sitting up there holding a harpoon gun, that's just not how it should be done. Hand him a long spear and then he can go at it.
