But then again, we've got no problem with eating piggies, who are horrible critters but with intelligence at least equivalent to a dog. Or maybe the manner in which whaling is conducted these days affronts our notions of fairness. I don't imagine too many reasonable folks would begrudge the whaling of the Faroe islanders, but mechanised whaling conducted under the auspice of dubious research feels like cheating. In any case, I'd have no problem eating whale, but I wouldn't want to see the big singing dummies become extinct either.
