for some reason, there are people out there who think they have not only the right, but the necessity, of sticking harpoons into the gentle giants of the sea.
I can't, for the life of me, imagine just what you can get from a whale that hasn't been replaced by more easily obtainable materials. Whale oil lamps, while romantic, just don't make sense. I haven't seen whale on a menu anywhere in any eateries I've visited. And, while I know a few goth ladies who just love corsets, they're more inclined to wear pvc or leather, with plastic stays, rather than those with whalebone stays. It can't be just for sport. I just don't get it. Leave them alone. I'm sure there are other things more worthy of harpooning...
pearls before swine...
