It's just bad, poor Whales. Sharks too for that matter. LEAVE SEA CREATURES ALONE :crying: Unless, it's tasty Salmon.

Poor Whales, gutting eated :( [QUOTE=SHoGuNN3R;16452342]It's just bad, poor Whales. Sharks too for that matter. LEAVE SEA CREATURES ALONE :crying: Unless, it's tasty Salmon.[/QUOTE] Or Mahi Mahi :q:
Let's genetically modify the whales so they can fight back.

I just know there's no way they will stop, so you might as well try to make it as easy on the environment and less painful as possible.
The Meat looks like Cranberry Sauce.

I wonder what it tastes like. I mean, it's not like it tastes like fish, because it's a mammal. Does it taste like really good beef?
[B]Tools of the trade[/B] For over 8000 years, the two flue harpoon was the primary weapon used in whaling around the world, but it cut through the blubber when under stress. This flaw was corrected with the creation of the single flue harpoon; by removing one of the flues, the head of the harpoon was narrowed, making it easier for it to penetrate deep enough to hold fast. In the Arctic, the indigenous people used the more advanced toggling harpoon design. In the early 19th century the one flue harpoon was introduced, which reduced failed harpoonings due to the head cutting its way out of the body of the whale. In the mid-19th century, the toggling harpoon was adapted by Lewis Temple, using iron. The Temple toggle was widely used, and quickly came to dominate whaling. In 1870, a Norwegian man named Svend Foyn successfully patented and pioneered the [B][I]exploding harpoon[/I][/B] and gun based on Erik Eriksen's idea and design. Together with the steam-powered whale catcher, this development ushered in the modern age of commercial whaling. Euro-American whalers were now equipped to hunt faster and more powerful species, such as the rorquals. Because rorquals sank when they died, later versions of the exploding harpoon injected air into the carcass to keep it afloat. A certain type of explosive harpoon fired from a shoulder gun, first used by American whalemen in the mid-19th century, was called a "bomb lance." The modern whaling harpoon consists of a deck-mounted launcher (mostly a cannon) and a projectile which is a large harpoon connected to a thick rope. The spearhead is shaped in a manner which allows it to penetrate the thick layers of whale blubber and stick in the flesh. It has sharp spikes to prevent the harpoon from sliding out. Thus, by pulling the rope with a motor, the whalers can drag the whale back to their ship.

As long as it's regulated it's cool with me. I've never tasted whale and probably never will.

Everyone we have to stop or a Probe will come and destroy Earth because it can't find the Whales in the 23th Century!!!! [img]http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/05/2008-04-27-voyage_home1.jpg[/img]

I personaly think it would be fun to go whaling but do it the old school way and throw harpoons at that bitch. I also think whale meat looks delicious. p.s. I've always wanted to shoot an elephant broadside with a Pak 40
poeple, the truth about global warming are the fucking whales Every whale takes a bit of space in the ocean you know? But all the bio-mass of those wales can't be water: The water rises. You probably think now: What the fuck?!.. But listen on! Green peace tries to hide the painfull truth from humanity: The great whales aren't dying, there are lots, and LOTS of them in the ocean. Grean peace makes LOADS of ''protect the whale'' propoganda, brainwashing kids, video commercials etc. These kids are too DUMB to consider that greenpeace is USING them. Green peace is fooling you, trying to let you stop using to much consumption items like trow away dishes and plastic bags. By this way the ecenomy will fail. What's happening now. Green peace tries to brainwash you: The oceans aren't depleted of whales, they're FULL of it. So our only change to SAFE the world is by KILLING ALL WHALES The painfull truth: [img]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3272/4730616855snh9.jpg[/img]
Instead of hunting whales we should hunt Twilight fans.
