would you hunt whales

[addicted]

so the Makahs waisted that grey whale. would you do the deed with the opportunity and a good excuse?

[arrowflinger]

I don't think I would eat the thing.......so I voted NO. I had whale in Iceland many years ago and can't say that I liked it.

taste is important

[Dman]

 For starters, I'd be worried about catching the disease. Second, it would be enough to feed a community and I just don't know enough people that would eat it for sure, without wasting some. Last, you'd need to be equipped, which I'm not, I don't own a browing .50 cal...

   I don't have enough freezer space!

Never tried eating it before, but going by the reactions of the tribe several years ago I would say it tastes like *censored*e. One vote for no here.

[dogtuk]

YES

Actually the Coast Guard allowed the whale to sink.

That being said, hell yea I would hunt one. I watched (live) the first hunt and thought how cool it would be to be towed around by that whale and how few people could say they hunted whales.

My only question is "who is going to gut it"?

[actionshooter]

 I voted no ,No horns

NO, I've eaten whale and I can say this. It's an acquired taste.

[boneaddict]

I said yes.  My ancestors did it, so I feel the need to fulfil "my right."

Thanks, I've got a couple more I'll get rounded up.

That'd be a neat family picture to have on the wall.  I would normally support any hunting of an animal that has a sustainable population.  I hear these grey whales have a decent population but a shortage a food supply for their population.  So if the pop is a little less than they'll fair better.  That's just what I heard.  I don't put animals on a heirarchy - eating a horse is the same as stepping on a bug so if a critter is in my house I pick it up and set it outside.
