Whales are considered candidates for personhood. As much as primates are, anyway.

Do you guys also endorse the hunting of gorillas and chimps for food?

If you support the idea of society in any form you support socialized production. It's more of a question of do you want a shitty, stupid form of socialism or a decent form of socialism.

the sei whale is at ~37K right now in the north pacfic. ~22K in north atlantinc, and ~24K in the southern hempsphere. this from a low of 7K
in the north pacific where they take them the pre whaling estimate for number of individuals is 60K. we really need to talk about what makes something "endangered". taking 50 animals is not going to decrease the population. its grown 500% while they've been taking 50 animals per year
