There's no need to eat whalemeat. That's good news. Then there's no need to eat sheep meat either. The idea is that whale eaters are going to eat sheep meat instead.
All whale killing is barbaric and cruel.
We Australians are very sensitive to the cultures of indigenous peoples. Therefore we tolerate the fact that they are barbaric and cruel. Whales are special and should not be killed. Whale killers are barbarians. Whales are special because I believe they are special.
