Mink whaling is more responsible and sustainable than a lot of commercial fishing - compare the impacts of hunting a species that’s classified as “least concern” with deep-sea trawling, the hunting of certain endangered species of tuna, or the use of the eggs and/or young spawn of endangered fish as caviar or whitebait!
Whaling definitely needs to go but (non-Antarctic) whaling gets an oversized amount of attention and it’s not unusual for people who are opposed to it to be financially supporting even more destructive forms of kaimoana.
Believe what you want. You’ve already decided that you are both offended and correct, so there’s nothing that anyone can say to change your mind. Just understand that not listening doesn’t make you right, it makes you a zealot.
Are you seriously comparing the responsible hunting of a sustainable number of minke whales to the deliberate genocide of an indigenous population?
Yes. Cry about it.
I’ll have to comfort eat to deal with the sadness. Where are the whale burgers?
So contrarian and edgy! You must rule 8th grade!
You know it ;)
There is no such thing as sustainable or responsible whaling.

Provide a source that whaling is sustainable and responsible.

Yes, it’s genocide. They’re barbarians who need to be put in their place for killing whales. I support a coup on the government
