whales are magnificent and amazing creatures who have survived on earth for a ridiculously long time until we came along and started to screw things up

whales have massive brains and are probably more intelligent than us :old:

what do they do with this great intelligence you ask? they don't f**k things up

it takes a special kind of stupid to ruin things in the all of the creative ways that humans have come up with

Really? So the annual "festival" on Faroe slaughtering hundreds of pilot whales is humane and instant slaughter? Utter crap. Its brutality for the sake of it disguised as tradition. Its no different from fox hunting, badger baiting, or dog/cock fighting!

Cock fighting..... :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

I went to Wales once and got some Fudge :old:

I have not been back since :old:

To be honest i liked the North Korea thread, the Colonials jumping about at the drop of a hat is awesome, and yes nothing came of said incident is that not a surprise :rofl

I dunno, lets take a few ships full of japanese cut off there arms and legs and throw them back in like they do with sharks, lets see how long that last's untill people starts having a problem with harvesting humans.  :rock


Honestly all whaling ships should be sunken with all hands on deck. Survivers should be ran over multiple times with there own ships till little chunky parks come floating up. OR we should hit them with a cannon and kill them instantly, that makes everything all better.

Then we will sell them back to japan for food products.  :rock


Fair is fair. Humans are in the multitudes of billions, so i see nothing wrong with using them as food products, after all they are all So abundant.

Coombz, brain size alone doesn't mean anything. Brain size compared to body size is a better metric because the bigger the body the bigger the brain you need just to drive it. The intelligence varies greatly between whale species with the Orca being on a similar level with chimpanzees, while the bigger whales are on the level of dogs and cats. However I think that intelligence is an irrelevant factor as long as they don't approach sentient levels. After all, we don't judge human worth by how well a person does on an IQ test. Cows fear for their lives and care for their young just as much as say a dolphin.

I think BaDkaRmA158Th must be a vegan...  :huh

Well... if the minke whale was intelligent you would think they would have relocated to safer waters by now ;)

the problem with that line of thinking is humans are not the fittest...take away our technology and weapons and a lot of humans will not survive.



GScholz, why do you automatically think someone is vegan when they talk about their dislike of unnecessary killing of animals? the way commercial fishing has operated worldwide, there is no such thing as a sustainable source...

It was what he would like to do with humans... Typical militant veganism talk.

Sounds good to me, turnabout is fair play

also judging by the posts made by hunting fans on these forums, and with reference to the earlier comment on gauging a person's worth by their IQ, the human race really wouldn't be losing out much

just look up some posts by Rich42 and you'll see what I'm getting at
