because they are 'only animals'.

actually, it sort of is already; the Japanese take what is euphemistically called a 'scientific catch'. Innuit are allowed a small catch as they subsist on it, i can sort of go along with that. give it another 50 years and it will be seen as a bit obscene and stop, Australia was a whaling nation until the 70's and now they are overwhelmingly anti. give it time.
