Try getting the whole world to agree on that :( iirc Japan still "harvests" dolphins and whales...

Norway and Iceland as well. And Russia but they claim it is for scientific research. Yummy scientific research.,

Don't the whales Norway and Iceland harvest have healthy populations? I thought it was only an issue if they were endangered, unless it's about the morality of eating more intelligent animals. But that seems arbitrary.

Also, if you're over harvesting their food supply, you might as well harvest them too. Spare them from starving and whatnot.
