Yes...there's a great difference...a mouse is a rodent
with a limited brain capacity...a whale is an
intelligent creature...eat all the mice you
want...Farley Mowat did and got along just fine..just
leave the whales and dolphins alone...


Farley Mowat writes *fiction*, and you have been
suckered in more ways than one.

Whales are about as smart as cows. Cattle are pretty
near the dumbest animal in the farm yard. And mice are
significantly smarter. And pigs are even more intelligent,
yet we eat ham, bacon, pork chops etc.

The only possible argument that makes sense in relation
to mice and whales is that it would require killing a
million mice to feed as many people as killing just one
whale. Therefore, to reduce the death and mayhem, eat
whales not mice.
