The difference is though, is that the Whale is more of an endangered species.  I agree with your point with the regulation though (hence why I put the option in, in the first place).

You wouldn't want to see Sperm Whales extinct, would you?

Well said.
 
In Australia over 500,000 whales have been killed since its commercial beginning in 1866. Cry

Of course not. That's why I voted for (better) regulation, which is the only reasonable option in the poll. If you're not a populistic politician looking for votes based on sentimental, emotional and irrational feelings.

BTW: A lot of whales are not among the endagered species. What sounds like the best way of living/dying: Living your life in the sea/wilderness or in a crowded cage/meat farm, till you get killed?  Start caring for the animals that has no freedom and no life.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Whoever voted no is a complete moron.
 
 It is impossible to hunt them sustainably, they reproduce far too slowly, and there are simply far too few of them. Many species were nearly extinct in the 70's, and now only a few have recovered (the  the Minke is the only one to have fully recovered which was whaled extensively) but most are not close to original numbers. More money can be made out of whale-watching than any use of whaling. Small-scale hunting by eskimos is all that should be allowed.

Not the most endangered, but still endangered, and they are all fragile populations.
 
And a northern right whale, which used to be very common, was whaled VERY extensibely is now one of the rarest animals. Only a small population of 300 or so in the NW Atlantic exists now.

Whaling should cease world-wide - Ban Whaling NOW!!!  Angry and heavy penalties should be incurred by those who infringe the ban!
