A budget campervan company has created a lot of controversy today with one of their campers. Wicked Campers has pulled some stunts before but I just love this one!

What is more important – a human or a whale life?  It seems that there are some in the anti-whaling cause that side with our aquatic cousins.  The Sea Sheppard may just be pushing things too far.  Not only are they breaching international law of the sea by colliding with another vessel, they are putting peoples lives in danger.  How many whale lives saved justify 1 dead human.  Perhaps if we could answer this, we might get somewhere in this debate.

Whales are intelligent creatures. But so are pigs. Whales are beautiful, majestic animals. But that’s subjective – plenty of people think they are. The only logical arguments against whaling are 1) killing animals is wrong (shit, so much for tonights BBQ) or 2) they are endangered. If that’s the case, how can we argue against sustainable whaling?
