Take it a step further and sink all fishing boats too.Eh?


So, more false equivalence.... killing whales is the same as killing fish.

PETA nuts think so and Sea Shepherds is just a step away from PETA.

In your opinion they're just a step away. In reality, the Sea Shepherd folks
want to prevent the slaughter of whales.


You are really skating on thin ice trying to show any moral or
ecological difference between killing a Blue Fin Tuna and a Whale.
In fact all of the tuna stocks are threatened but I bet you have a few
cans in your cupboard. Are they "dolphin safe"? Do you really believe
that?

I bet I don't, since I don't like tuna much. It's not a matter of ecological
difference. The difference is that tuna fishing can be a sustainable
industry. There's no good reason to hunt whales. They're not much of a food
source.

I don't even let the vegetarians off the hook, particularly if they
are also "organic" folks because of the amount of habitat is given up
for farming. Organic actually requires more land because of reduced
yield.

Whatever. I'm not a vegetarian, and I really don't care who you do or don't
let off the hook.
