Of course, it is a natural part of our nature to be sympathetic to one another more than other species; it is a preprogrammed survival instinct, and I am also bound to that. So yes, I, sympathetically, will place fish above bugs, mamals above fish, humans above other mamals, but if you think I am going to place the traditional hunting habits of a nation above the value and existance of an entire species... get f**ked. Seriously, that is f*c*ing selfish.

Tenchu, don't tell me to get f**ked. This is how problems start.
I made no comment whatsoever about the merits or demerits of whale hunting. I made no statement whatsoever about human life value over or under any other species. I just said in my last post there are good arguments and bad arguments on both sides. That's not the part of the debate I have or will engage in.
My only comment was about the tactics of the Sea Shepherd. Do not attribute other's comments to me.
