...hard not to sympathize with his frustration at mainstream protest. Japan continues to slaughter hundreds of whales every year, under the pretense of a “research program” that produces few research papers but sells plenty of whale meat to the Japanese public (there has been an international moratorium on whaling in place since 1986, but scientific research is exempt). Whaling is inherently inhumane, and these mighty creatures take an average of five to 30 minutes to slowly bleed to death, while others escape wounded to die at the ocean’s bottom...

...diseased and abused that they are unable to walk. Moreover, it’s important to recognize that these animals are forced to suffer for their entire lifetime in filthy, crowded conditions. As privileged, educated individuals we must make choices which reject industries based on the mass slaughter of billions of sentient beings every year. When safer, more compassionate choices exist for food, why would we choose any other option...
