If anti-whaling activists take the same approach you are taking, and like "OK. Slaughter houses aren't perfect. But there is something we can do to improve it. Likewise, there is something we can do to whales and dolphins. I work on them because I love them". Then the activities would be taken a lot more positively. But unfortunately so far, I see more cultural superiority and racism. There is a lot of damage done already. I for one, switched the stance from anti-whaling to whaling, or at least anti-anti-whaling because of these activists.

I didn't want to be harsh, but direct or indirect, it is a sensible matter when you talk about a basic principle of a culture, even if it is not explicitly called faith.
Thank you very much for your apologies. I really appreciate it.
