There are those who gorge themselves on the
products of sow crates and battery chicken farms, but who pick up their skirts
in horror at hunting and shooting.
Those same people either say nothing about, or
else positively approve of, the Common Fisheries Policy, which is opposed by
only one of the three main parties, the only one that one is not in the
Coalition. But they pick up their skirts in horror at whaling.
What, exactly, is so horribly wrong with whaling,
by which the Norwegians have been feeding themselves and their families since
the ninth century, while the Japanese have been doing so since the twelfth
century, and while the latter's Korean neighbours have been doing so for eight
thousand years?
And why, at a push, is it more or less all right
for scientific research, but never, ever for food?
