And this has nothing to do with macho. Women like meat also. And there are also fanatical veggie men. I don't care if you choose not to eat meat. But don't you fucking dare telling others they should not. Eating all food types is healthier than eating only veggies.

Well. IF you are a vegetarian and dont eat any types of meat, then I can respect that. But in my culture whale (only Mink whale now), is a very natural part of our diet, and it has been so for hundreds of years. Of course, many types of whales are on the endangered spices list and need protection, like the mighty blue whale. However, Mink whale is not endangered. And they also take recourses from other whale spices that are in trouble, so what is wrong taking out 800 animals every year?

@olafurhh03 I'm a woman, I'm a vegetarian, meat disgusts me. Also, more women are vegetarians and vegans than men. Men who are vegetarian and vegan get made fun of by other men, aka losers.

@rebekkaariel Seeing as though most people who say that kind of stuff mean 'insignificant' I misunderstood you. That's why I asked.

@mrbiggles563 And when I say little lives I mean little animals.. I thought that was obvious in the whale/lamb comparison

[rebekkaariel]

@mrbiggles563 No, I haven't noticed. But I guess there's a way of protesting everything these days. And commercial whaling is legal in many countries, but of course I am against illegal whaling as it cannot be supervised by law. I'm not sure about this, but I think there are some regulations about the method of killing the whales, and whaling boats have regular inspections on how long it takes the whale to die (at least in Iceland). But, of course, animal slaughter is always going to be cruel.

[mrbiggles563]

@rebekkaariel Nobody cares? You haven't noticed the amount of activism towards ending livestock slaughter have you? And what do you mean little lives? And to answer your question, not only is commercial whaling illegal, but whaling is INCREDIBLY cruel. It takes a whale about 20 minutes to die.

[rebekkaariel]

@mrbiggles563 My point was actually that there isn't an issue about livestock slaughter, because nobody seems to care about lots of little lives being taken, but protest harshly to one as large as a whale's. I'm not pro-whaling, but I'm definitely not against it. And I love how you didn't actually reply to my question, just belittled my cause. I admire you for not eating meat, but the admiration fades a little when you talk degradingly to other people who have different beliefs.

[mrbiggles563]

@rebekkaariel really? is that your response? Is that ALL you can come up with? I'm so sick and tired of you pro-whaling idiots comparing whaling to mass slaughter. That might work on anyone who is against whaling but for livestock slaughter but I have never met or spoke to anyone like that. Don't bring another issue into this one. If you want to comment about livestock slaughter, do it on a video about that issue. By the way, I DON'T EAT MEAT XD

[rebekkaariel]

@mrbiggles563 I'm sorry, but why is killing one whale (one that is not endangered) worse than killling a thousand lambs or chickens for the same amount of meat? It's more meat for less life.

[mrbiggles563]

@svalbardviking I don't give a shit if it's part of your culture, it's the 21st fucking century, it;s time to join the rest of the world and stop brutally killing obviously intelligent organisms
