The endangered ones get 100% of the attention. If you tell a random group of Americans that the Japanese hunt and eat whale, the reaction you're going to get is something along the lines of, "Oh, no, what are we going to do? If they chow down on George and Gracie, all the Earth's oceans will be vaporized. We have to stop them before it's too late to save the planet!"<br /><br />The Japanese, of all people, should understand this mentality. Sure, the concern may be misplaced, but it comes from reasonable motives.Jonadabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960094338418224109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503203977655953303.post-38317961889178707602010-08-20T17:28:25.796-04:002010-08-20T17:28:25.796-04:00Sorry, it was inevitable:

This was a good read. I didn't...LOL @ Shadow.<br /><br />This was a good read. I didn't know about the minke whales being so common. That's some good arguing ammo the next time someone tries to talk me out of trying whale.<br /><br />I haven't eaten whale yet, but I'm planning on it. I'm trying to make things fair for the cows. Saying we're cool with whales is like telling cows, "Hey, we're gonna eat you, but you guys totally deserve it for some reason."Joe4theRecordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05266035941155654417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503203977655953303.post-18320466658460406522010-08-17T00:47:18.289-04:002010-08-17T00:47:18.289-04:00Haha...thanks, Shadow.
