Dear Is Mise,

Perfectly correct. I apologise unreservedly to Hasbeen. My fault entirely.

I'm surprised that the leftist virtue signallers haven't been yelling 'racist' at anyone objecting to Japan's whaling. It must put them in quite a bind to have to choose between Asiatics and animals

But what of the whales supposed intelligence?

Can they not work out that whaling ships, indeed any ships, are a danger to them?

ise mise like a bet?willing to lay odds whales have more brains than one poster
rude? yes any more rude than the person targeted?
Such needless insults are bound to bring return serves

I don't think whales have that sort of intelligence, Is Mise, or they would have been using it.

Overall, there is too much fuss about whales and animals in general. Most of the world's population have never seen a whale, and never will - so whales will be of little interest to them.

Animals are subordinate to people, and if they can't be eaten, they are not much use, unless they are are pulling plough's or rolling logs in undeveloped countries.

On the matter of intelligence, who do you think is the most intelligent in the case of whales beaching themselves: the whales or the people who make a big deal of pushing them back to sea, even when the whales insist on re-beaching themselves?

ttbn,

I'd put them on a par, intelligent people would humanely kill beached whales and harvest the windfall.
