I am curious to see whether you guys think if whaling should be illegal or not. This is a big issue right now, with Japan already launching a huge whaling expedition, estimated to bring in 935 minke whales, and 50 fine whales.

As a marine enthusiast, you can probably guess where my opinion lies. But I am interested to see what other people think.

Whaling should only continue if they breed them just like cows or chicken, as stated before, they don't. whaling should be put to an end. I think people should treat them like the bald eagles now. we needed a new national animal anyway, the bald eagle, even with it's wig is just starting to get old...

Also I think whaling on the moon is a problem also. -.... I'm sorry I had to say it. It's a Futurama reference...

OMG Futurama reference, you win at teh internetz Skull.

Well, that's not really possible for a start. I'm not sure whales could handle the disruption of their transoceanic migratory patterns (in some cases), and the gestational period on many of the popular species is kinda long. Also, they're friggen huge! What kind of farming could we possible achieve with such animals?

Not that I'm a proponent of farming in itself, anyway. But it would be supremely impractical, yep.
