Perhaps the poor turkey that you killed, chopped up, and ate for Christmas dinner didn't give a hoot about whales but DID think the car that your parents brought its frozen carcass back to your oven in, was ugly and stinky [sic]
The point being that who are WE to say that whaling is bad when we brutally kill poultry to make pigs of ourselves at Christmas.
Just to keep this on topic, I shall include an opinion that a ship I once saw was VERY ugly... It was the MV Bernard Matthews. Anyone got a pic?
