More on the whaling debate

I was glad to see that someone shares the views I expressed in an earlier post about the recent meeting of the IWC.

For me, the biggest concern I have about whaling is a larger worry about the state of the world's oceans generally. Fish stocks around the globe are in danger of collapse, and the oceans represent a great, unregulated plundering ground.

I would favour cautious, regulated whaling if it were to help feed the world's population, but I think cautious regulation is a tall order.
