Wrong. It’s pure scripted rhetoric that the explosive charge killed/kills the whale instantly. Most of the time it did/does not. Further, if the whale is with calf, the neonatal whale will starve to death over the course of the following weeks. Any cattle or swine slaughter house that did things like this on a regular basis would be shut down because of violations of inhumane slaughter regulations.

Excessive whaling by Europe and the United States has ended, and many species of cetaceans are on the rise. Nonetheless, They wanted to make a whale scapegoat to hide the environmental destruction caused by industry and weapons of war.

Please, try to understand. There ARE ways to ethically source meat, while unethically sourced meat is a huge problem, you by no means should put down every single person who eats meat as a horrible person. As I am not putting you down for your beliefs. Humans are not categorically supposed to eat anything specific. Let people choose to eat what they eat, and if they do it at an unhealthy amount, or specifically and knowingly doing it unethically than that’s a different problem. You also need to remember that quality healthy diets / lifestyles can get incredibly expensive, because America is a capitalist machine. To my prior point about humans not being “meant” To eat anything specific, there are many carnivore, omnivore, and herbivore primates. The leading theory is that we evolved from chimpanzees, which are omnivores; meaning they eat both plants and meat. So please try to be more understanding, and instead of putting people down who eat meat try to respect one another, instead of instantly assuming someone is ignorant purely cause of what they consume to stay alive.
