It's a whale! Do we eat them? No.

SOme people do! I'd like to try it once, but only once - just to see!

Anyway, they keep another thing in check - like possibly overpopulation of Kril where the kril might over populate and block sunlight for some plant that feeds some other fish...and down the chain it goes until the ocean dies out, which in turn starts killing bears for example since there is no salmon, (and no fisheries for us too!) and the bears allow deer to over populate that eat all the grass and kill off something else - its one massive chain reaction type deal - you need all species to survive so that the chain is kept in place.

I find that killing off a few whales will destroy the planet a very poor possibility, yet infront of Al Gore's dream.



Whale meat does look alright, though. Maby I'll try it one day.

AL Gore is whacked. My opinion. Not as harsh as he makes things out to be, but still, it would have an effect - not one whale, not 2, but thousands yes.

I think that the rate that we kill whales with sonar is lower than their birth rate. To date I haven't seen any ill effects of killing them. They don't need to just be killed off for nothing, but a sonar ping death I don't find needless. They just got in the way.
