So, it's OK to make something suffer - as long as it's a 'cultural thing'?

Umm ... no.

dude.... about a billion times as many animals suffer(and for much longer than one day) every year in the US as in Denmark to support your lifestyle.

^^ there's some more reading for the knee-jerk reaction crowd.


I'm moving to Denmark someday. Not because of this or anything like it, but they have been proven to be the happiest people on earth. They live in a post consumerist society - almost every person living in Denmark can afford a car, but most people ride a bike to work.

Good job looking this up. Is truthorfiction.com a trustworthy site? I guess so or you wouldn't be linking to them. Assuming that the pics are not photoshopped, killing the whales is messy and probably very painful. Can't someone come up with a better way to kill animals? Er, oh yeah, being humane would cut profits not increase them.

There are times I think seriously about becoming a vegetarian <--- he says while slow cooking a slab of ribs Alton Brown style. I'm conflicted.
