    I agree with havng to be cautious about numbers of small fish as well as bigger sea creatures... it's kind of a food chain thing... we moan about the people killing the big things, but not the small things... if the small things were to all disappear, so would the big things... but not many people think about it that way do they???

    Putting aside whether you agree with whaling or not, No-one has the right to inflict cruelty/torture on another living creature as the whalers do in the kill- hunters know the kill should be quick & clean & No species should be driven to close extinction.
    And yes sustainability is very important in the water & on the land - losing creatures from the food chain has serious consequences.

    The Japanese do.

    Bear in mind that a large proportion of the whale population are global rangers as well. Killing them in the Southern Ocean is just convenience because the congregate there. It would be the same whale getting the chop in local waters as it would be in the Southern Ocean.

    We don't understand how the Ocean's of the world maintain their ecosystems. We understand it less than we do the weather.

    The only I have with the Japanese whaling fleet is that the species they are harvesting (for whatever reason) is being harvested at an unsustainable rate and the effect of said harvesting on the global oceanic ecosystem is not fully understood. The other issue I have is that the Jpanese are allowed so far from their own territorial waters to engage in the harvesting of these animals. Why do they not harvest the stock that are available in their own territorial waters?

    Are goats wild and domestic? What about camels? Or many other species that have been domesticated?
