I love when those developed countries cry about Amazon rain forest and do those shit…
How the fuck is it about to be 2023 and this type of shit is still happening.
Is it that bad if its sustainable and doesn’t lead to the population being minuscule or extinct? A few quick google searches indicate that the Norwegian government believes they engage in sustainable whaling but I’m open to evidence that indicates otherwise
Minke whales are not an endangered species in those waters
But how are we gonna make money!?
Signed: Norway
Edit: guess i’ll have to throw in an /s
Iceland and Norway practices sustainable whale hunting. This isn’t morally bad at all
As long as it doesn’t lead to the population being extint or near that they can continue whaling for all I care. There’s no difference between this and hunting any other animal.
Also, there hasn’t been fin whaling in iceland during the last 3 years.
You, however, should definitely stop wailing tho.
Sweden: you hunt whales
Norway: better than doing halal to goats
The context of Avatar 2 is completely different lmao
I’m in favor of the practice, however. Fishery in general is not exactly dominated by high-minded and conscientious people around the world. While a certain amount of culling seems to be acceptable and can potentially keep populations in balance, comparatively, there is almost no effort to actually promote the growth and expansion of species… at least that isn’t an absolute disaster (see “Osbourne Reef” as an example.)
So an industry that is nearly 100% “take” and zero “give” for all of humanity’s existence? I’m not exactly trusting of when anyone says they’re “sustainable.” Show me the work you’re doing to *replace* what you’ve taken. Even ranchers *have* to manage their herds in order to produce more animals. Certain kinds of fish farms (shoutout to aquaponics!) are great. But the fishing industry in general? Not a fan.
Be conscientious and informed of what you eat with seafood. As an example, certain crab species aren’t doing so well at the moment. The smaller ventures seem to get it, but the big and financially powerful ones push and lobby* hard for the almighty dollar.
