It’s the same story every year. And it’s a bunch of pearl clutching second grade journalism, if you ask me.
These are animals that have lived free, beautiful lives in their natural habitats. Then they are killed and eaten, with no deliberate cruelty involved. Circle of life.
If we want to reduce animal cruelty, look towards the massive scale of factory farming, not at the 700 animals that are hunted by a small indigenous community.
2: ranching is sustainable for the species, since we’re also breeding / protecting them for food. Mass hunting isn’t the same as we’re not protecting or ensuring the reproduction of the whale population.

How about not rounding up hundreds of highly intelligent beings and their families to murder them for no reason. And don’t give me your whataboutist bullshit about “muh factory farms”; I don’t use those either. 9 times out of 10, the people I see citing factory farms in cases like this deliberately use factory farms all the time and simply want an excuse for inaction. Shit like this needs to end too and can trivially end.

So are you, so come here. We’ll just chase you into an alley, put a hook through your nose, and cut your spine; no deliberate cruelty involved (besides the deliberate, brutal, totally superfluous murder).
Wow that is one extremely aggressive response to what I thought was a relatively sensible comment. I’m sorry if I upset you.
It’s not whatsboutism, it’s a question of scale. Attention is a finite resource, and I think you should place it where it matters most.
There is a post-colonial dimension to Grindadráp that is rarely mentioned by the media. And that matters more to me personally than the lives of the whales.

1: the Brits there aren’t exactly indigenous

We are allowed to do both at the same time.

If they’re so intelligent, why do they let themselves be rounded up to be murdered year after year?
“If humans are so intelligent, why did they let me chase them into my murder chamber? Riddle me that, liberals!”
Understand that I would eat you with no compunction whatsoever. You’re just another animal to me.
ok
sounds hot
meet me at 5:00
