What is the best arguments against whaling?
Why does it differ from other mamals, is it the big brain or the hunting technique?
Aside from the various animal rights issues (cruelty, intelligence, etc) there is another pressing one. Many of the most popular species for traditional (pre-ban) whaling are endangered, and unrestricted whaling WILL lead to extinctions. Not only would this be more cruelty, but it also harms humans; if all the whales are gone, there'll be no more whaling ever, and the scientific research to come out of whale studies is hugely important in all sorts of fields.

Presumably the vet didn't use enough to kill it quickly in that case, but even with the right amount it wouldn't die quickly. I guess my point is that there isn't such a thing as a "nice" death, and often the most "humane" death can seem brutal to people that don't deal with death a lot, like the majority of humans! These are things that everyone likes to have an opinion on, but are really best left to the experts.
Dunno about that. I had to get my dog put down a few years ago (had a fatal somethingorother illness), and I was there when they did it. They use an overdose of anaesthetic, and he basically went to sleep. Seemed quite happy about it, bless 'im. Seemed a lot more humane than shooting him with an exploding harpoon from a distance, although admittedly I'm no expert in these things...

Why not inject the whale with something that puts it in a deep sleep? That way it doesn't feel anything. Just have to make sure nothing is left when selling the meat.
I'm guessing you'd need a serious amount of some serious drugs to anaesthetise a whale to death. Not exactly economic  |
