bom bom....

Anyway

Two whales, a male and female, are swimming through the ocean when they come across a whaling boat. The male whale recognizes the the boat and becomes very angry....

Thats a bloody whaling ship.... In fact, that is the ship that killed my parents" he says to his female friend.

"I'm going to get revenge".

"If we both get under the ship and blow air out at the same time we should be able to flip the ship over." After talking to the female whale he convinces her to attack the ship.

So together they both rush under the ship and begin to blow air out of their blow holes. Amazingly the male's trick works and the ship flips over. However the male whale is quickly angered when he sees the sailors trying to escape to shore.

"Quick after them, we'll eat them all so they can't escape!".

The female, with a rather disgusted look on her face replied...

"Alrighty that's it, I agreed to the blow job but I'm not gonna swallow the seamen!"

Correct. Sperm whales do not have teeth or the ability to swallow humans, they are baleen whales and sift the water.

Oh Wolfie... I think you'll find you may be slightly mistaken.... Sperm Whales do have teeth .... They eat squid - that's why we haven't heard from Mikey for awhile...

So we have NZ on the world stage beating up the Japanese, Norwegians, Greenlanders etc for wanting to kill and eat whales. At the same time New Zealanders are killing lambs by the thousands per day, and cattle, pigs and deer by the hundreds/day. Bit of a double standard here.

Except for vegetarians, we all eat meat and thus animals have to die. So why are whales any different?

Yeah! bloody hippies and pinko's,spending our money to save some stupid fish.
Fred dagg had it right- they are as intelligent as a cat

When you look at some whale spieces... there are less than 100000... thats not a lot... and at the rate those japs are killing them off, in 15 years there won't be any left... and that is a terrible loss to the world, they really are kewl animals...

Think about this.
Which animals are the ones not endangered?
The ones that are used for food.
The best thing we could do for whales is to all start eating them

Sweet, I've got a fucking big spear.

Who's got a boat?

Okay, I've eaten whale meat. I grew up in Norway, go ahead and sue me. One day my father served up real whale meat from a real live whale, gently cooked over medium heat in a frying pan and lovingly dished out with potatoes, onions and gravy. We were all a little excited about trying this supposed delicacy.

It tastes like pure and utter ARSE!

Imagine the approximate look and feel of beef, except flavoured with cod liver oil with a little bit of added rotting seaweed and a large side of intestinal gas.

Why anybody wants to eat the stuff is way beyond me. Save the whales, eat a cow instead. They're much tastier.

Sounds like all "delicacies" to me - pay good money for shit the average person wouldn't eat unless he were starving to death.

Look at 'em all: bird's nest soup, FFS - a sure sign they had serious famines in China! Now the famine's over and the rich fuckwits pay a fortune to eat what the peasants were once reduced to eating. All the other delicacies are the same. Sheer-desperation "food" that has become "trendy" in more affluent times.

Maybe I should charge a fortune for my old leather belt fried up with a couple of onions. So long as I make it a suitably miniscule portion in the midst of a huge plate with a couple of pieces of green shit crossed artistically on top, I should be able to get a fair bit for the delicacy...
