Yes, but we have cow farms, so cows will not go extinct. We can`t say the same for whales.

So if we raised 1 whale it would equal 200 cows worth of meat. I wonder if raising whales would screw up the environment as much as cattle. I also wonder what whale meat tastes like. Guess i will never know.

Nightmare80 not all whales are on the endangered list. As long as you don`t overhunt.

We eat tuna, why not whales?

I don`t see anything wrong with whale meat except that the WWF have given some whale species `Threatened` status. Also whales experience a slow and painfull death, cows dont.

V Morphing Jar - no species of whale has `Endangered` status. Thats not to say that `Threatened` status is trivial.

Sure. Keeping in mind that they are also 200x more expensive and nearly impossible to farm en mass like cows.

Oh. and lets not forget that little fact that 7 out of 10 known whale species are already endangered due to over hunting.

yes, that, AND, I don`t see anyone here talking about how incredibly smart they are... I`d like to think their complex emotions and high intelligence would put at least a few people off from eating them. Would you eat a chimp?

whale meat was part of the diet in post-war japan, there weren`t really many other sources of food so they had to turn to whales, including putting them in school lunches, which were provided by the government so that kids would get at least 1 good meal a day. now other food is available of course so whale meat is not popular at all, in 5 years living in japan i`ve never seen it in a supermarket, and on a restaurant menu only once. though there r still a bunch of stubborn old men who run whaling companies that insist whale meat is great and extremely popular and continue to hunt whale despite what every other country in the world (except norway) thinks. worth pointing out these r the same guys who build their houses with untreated wood, u tell them hey we have the technology to protect wood from the rain now, u don`t u use it, they so no stupid that`s not how it`s done, then the next year when their wood house is gray and only a couple years from rotting completely already, u say i told u so and they reply "oh well, it can`t be helped" seriously! that`s what they say!

i think that should have been in the description, cause people haven`t got that i don`t think.

It was for a comedy show, where people who write adds, had a day or something to create an add for something ridiculous, and contraversial, to sell that product.

The show chose whale meat - a hot topic in australia (we`re trying to stop the japanese whaling)

and yeah...
