The only whaling in the US is done by the native people in Alaska with row
boats and hand thrown harppons , and what? they get 3 on a good year.that
they eat and use all of. thats a long way from 200 killed with a 100 ft ship
and a anti-tank gun. Don't you think??
I don t care if the Norwegians go whaling, but they need to do it the right
way with no powered boats and no un-human powered weapons
I don t think they could do it that way any more.

Just a comment on the norwegian fishers bit. I still havnt
understood why people complain about them. They fish no more
than their quota (unlike alot of other countries in Europe),
and the whaling is like 200 whales a yr or so. As i understand
it, the US has whalers in Alaska. When americans then start
complaining about the whaling in Norway, im astounded at the
hypocricy. Guess its much easier to complain about what everybody
else is doing, rather than fixing your own problems. Keeps the
huddled masses happy for a while at least...
Just the smell of herring makes me puke...ugh..
