    Cultural sensitivity

    Well ok, they say it's important to their culture:
    http://www.northernadvocate.co.nz/lo...hales/3920196/

    so how come later on the bones can be dug up, carved and sold for profit? Or does the sensitivity rot away with the flesh?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    I wonder how you euthanise a whale.

    "So how do we kill this whale?"
    "The only method is a giant pill." *hands over barrel sized pill*
    "Seems easy enough, I accept the mission."
    "By the way, it's a suppository. God speed." *hurries out*

    Back when their ancestors would have chopped them up and eaten them - grateful that a large amount of food had arrived on the beach ...

    There's a lot of romanticisation going on here ..

    Your confusing the matter.

    They are culturally sensitive about "learning science"......has nothing to do with the whales.

    It's all about the Benjamins. What ever happened to the taniwha that was holding up the auckland-waikato expressway? Did it get its $$millions and move elsewhere?

    That's as bad as suggesting you should euthanise baby fur seals with a club.

    Oh hang on, they still do that too......

    They were the cunts who made the Moa extinct, now this? Pack of fucking wankers. If it wasn't for white people colonizing this land, they would still be running around with spears killing and eating each other.

    Sailed thru it at descent motorway speed last friday night no hold ups at all. 1 x HP car at Dragway Rd with his radar on constant made it easy to avoid walking home.

    I'm by no means an expert on the matter, but isn't that the definition of a hangi ?
