Iceland, Japan and Norway are the culprits still supporting whaling, not China - just fyi :)
That's because many people allow their (completely warranted) distrust of the CCP to justify all sorts of other spurious, baseless accusations of the CCP.
The CCP has done many things that deserve criticism; let's not invent new ones.
Human morality is above any nations petty laws. Culprit is the right word for those monsters still slaughtering these magnificent creatures.
Animals hunting other animals is a natural part of life.
Very few if any clean kills, infliction of immense suffering on creatures that have a cognitive capacity rivaling that of humans prior to robbing them of life, clear lack of necessity in the first place.
I dunno, seems kind of evil to me. This makes a good argument that the cruelty involved is undue:
Would you extend this to humans hunting humans?
But one thing that sets humans apart from other animals is our development of culture. As part of that we've made rules against killing (and eating) other humans in most cases, which is generally advantageous to all of us. So I'd argue it's a strategic change we've made.
If God didn't mean for people to hunt and eat other people, they wouldn't be made of meat.
But obviously that's not in our own interest, so it's perfectly natural for us to avoid resorting to canabalism.
All those animals had humans to thank for saving them from the wrath of God's genocidal whims and piques of anger.
It's a wonder none of the animals ate their delicious meaty human crew! I wonder how much fresh meat it took to feed all those carnivorous animals for that long, and why it didn't go bad sitting around for more than a month.
Maybe they brought along some extra humans to sacrifice, who would have drowned and been wasted otherwise, to keep the lions and tigers and jackals and pigs in fresh meat.
The Bible is such a great kid's book, especially all that pro-slavery stuff -- it should be mandatory reading in schools! It really makes you wonder. ;)

The choice of verb is ironic given whales are mammals. I suppose that's why they call it whaling, although even that obscures the horror.
