Also they are not hunting whales because they need them for food, they are only doing it because of the massive price tag that are on those whales. Killing simply for profit is wrong

So I take it you have a little farm and grow all of your food for your consumption only? Any meat or plants you buy at a store is killed for profit. Unless you're raising all your own food don't take a stand on something that makes you highly hypocritical.

No it doesn't make me hypocritical. We need grocery stores, and by the way I only eat meat from local actual free range farms so. My point was that the Japanese don't need whales for food, they have plenty of other food to eat.

Interesting. You'll only eat free range beef, but you have no problem with keeping a fish in a box. How isn't that hypocritical?

Whale war brought light to the situation? Only if you live under a rock. This was common knowledge long before the show, especially in today's Internet world.

It's astonishing to me the number of people who keep fish, and yet think keeping a fish in a "box" as you called it is wrong. Wouldn't that just make you a pretty terrible person? Why would anyone keep an animal if they think you can't do good by it? I don't understand this mentality

You're highly confused or projecting. I think keeping fish is fine. I'm just pointing out that it seems you're being selective in your moral stance. You said you only eat free range beef. You're fine with keeping fish in an aquarium. Does that mean you would be ok with keeping a pet cow in a small pen as long as you were nice to it and tried taking the best care you could of it?

Keeping a pet cow in a field would be fine. Even an acre I think would suffice for one cow. Remember cows and fish have different needs so it's not a great example but yes have a pet cow if you have the appropriate space for one, just like having the appropriate size tank is a must

Remember normal feed cows can't even turn around in most lots, I think most people would think keeping a fish like that would be horrible. I have no problem eating a cow that has been properly raised in a field

How many feed lots have you been to? I live in Kansas. My parents used to farm and the cows were in the pasture. No feed lot. I've been to a lot of feed lots in my life in Kansas and some other states. I've never personally seen any feed lots where the cows turn around. Actually the ones I've been to you could put twice as many cows in it and they'd still have room to turn around. Maybe they do things differently in Oregon. It seems somewhere you received bad information and are attempting to pass it on as fact. Actually in Kansas there are a lot of feed lots, but there's way more open pasture land. There's probably a good amount of cattle raised in pasture that isn't marketed as free range, so they can charge more for it.
