When it comes to whales, Michael Ian Black thinks it's us against them
Blogger, tweeter, and comedian Michael Ian Black – who you might remember from Stella or Xtacles - has called for a return to commercial and sport whaling on his blog.
According to MIB:
Whales are the top of the oceanic food chain, just like we’re the top of the land-based food chain. Obviously there’s not enough room on this earth for two predators at the top of the food chain, so even though whales are intelligent, majestic creatures, they have to go.
Therefore I would like to call for a resumption of commercial and sport whaling. Since we’ve already established that they are capable of great intelligence and culture, how long will it be before they develop the tools to start hunting us (emphasis his)? Our current, tenuous situation reminds me of the brief few years after World War II when we had the atomic bomb and the Soviets did not.
He goes on to add, “Let’s eliminate the threat before it eliminates us.”
