-The whales which were killed in this incident are not an endangered species; while I think killing animals for fun is ethically dubious at best, culling a healthy population for food hardly makes my ethic-o-meter needle wiggle.

(That being said, it would appear they overdid this one, what with there being some 40-50,000 Faroese or so, all told - that would be an awful lot of whale to digest per capita.)

Full disclosure: I happily eat minke whale and even seal whenever I come across it. Norwegian.
