If hunting whales is wrong I dont want to be right

Is Hunting whales wrong?

Well I think it is all opinionated, my opinion is that it is wrong because I don't see why we would need to hunt them, and if it is just for a hobby then that is definitely not a good enough excuse to hunt them. In a article by Raffi Khatchadourian called Neptune's Navy it talks about an organization called Sea Shepherd Conservation Society founded by Paul Watson thirty years ago to stop boats from hunting whales. Watson's special attack is ramming his boat into another, which he says he plans on doing to the Japanese.

This in a way is wrong because you are trying to save an animal but you are putting humans in danger just because you are trying to prove a point. On the other side of the story though, Whales deserve to live and they should not have to be hunted as brutally as they being done. I think the hunters see it as a hobby which is not a good enough reason to hunt them, look at it this way some people see killing as a hobby does it make it right? No it doesn't so they shouldn't kill any animal for no reason.

In a quote on the second page, second paragraph of this article, it says

"Watson believes that whales are more intelligent than people, and their slaughter is tantamount to murder.(He once compared their extermination to the Holocaust.)"

I do agree with him on it being just the same as murder, but I do not agree that it is anything close to the Holocaust and is wrong to even compare the two. It is estimated to be around 11 million people who died in the holocaust and of those 11 million 2.5 of those were children. Dieing whales are sad, but innocent children dieing before they could even walk is even more sad, MY OPINION about comparing the holocaust to whale hunting is that isVERY LUDICROUS.

I think Paul Watson is taking it to far with the whole whale hunting to thing in the first place. He Ramming other ships people's life's endanger, is not that considered attempted murdered? maybe i don't know but if your trying to knock someone's boat over and hypethetically speaking the boat tips over killing them couldn't you go to jail for that, just for try to save whales, when if that did happen that would add to the problem of endangered whales, right.

Going back to my first question and the Question of who is wrong, the whale saver or the whale hunter, well I think both of them are wrong because killing the whales is wrong and trying to tip someone's boat over is just as bad.

(i mean i just find it funny that he is trying to tip someone's boat over lol)
