    Not if the bad cultures are indigenous and have been doing it for long enough. Nothing wrong with hunting endangered species if your culture is endangered.

      The primary species being hunted, pilot whales, according to the IUCN is least concern (the lowest rating) and they consider the hunts sustainable: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/9250/50356171 The dolphin species aren’t endangered, either.

      If you object to this on the basis that they’re intelligent that’s fine, but I also hope you don’t eat pork, since pigs are also highly intelligent (and for factory farmed, they lived and died in far worse conditions).

      The Faroese are indigenous, have they been doing it long enough?

      “It’s okay if they’re brown and have been doing the animal torture long enough”

      Going full soft bigotry of low expectations in bold text, huh. Interesting strategy.
