You did compare whaling to fishing, and with a straight face compared whaling to hunting small/medium animals and to halal methods of killing animals. There is no comparable suffering of a mammal that the cruel and draw out method killing a whale. It would be best compared to how the English hung drew and quareted the worst condemned prisoners. You are now bringing up strawmen. We are talking about whales. Not chickens. Yes battery chicken farming is aweful, so I don't eat battery chickens or eggs. Pig farming is terrible and if I didn't have religious objections to eating in the first place I would avoid that too. I also eat ethically grown beef. Just because other animals are mis treated does not mean anyone should give whaling a pass. If you truly belive fish are so bad, maybe you should avoid that too.
