Whale farming - building the containment nets is probably tricky, but if you had a big enough area to cordon off in the ocean, you could raise them for meat etc

- traverseda 3y ago...Why whales? Aren't like regular fish farms going to work better?
- warrenm 3y agoWhy not (other than the space constraints)? I don't know if it's a good idea, but it's an idea
- schwartzworld 3y agoIt would more humane to grow whale blubber in a lab. Even if you don't care about the suffering of whales who are absolutely miserable in confinement, there's no way to make farming such large animals economical. It's why you can't farm bluefin tuna, it just takes too much food and space compared to what you get.

- gadders 3y agoMy Nan ate whale meat during the war in the UK. She didn't recommend it. "You didn't know if you were eating fishy meat or meaty fish."
