Save the Pigs
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008
How is the issue of whaling any different from that of raising livestock for human consumption? 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?
