must be. to me comapring the death of a little boy with the death of a whale is outrageous. if that makes me a specieist, then i plead guilty. i believe in human rights, but not animal rights. you see, i believe that we are stewards of nature, but that does not preclude us from enjoying the bounty of nature to eat. when conservation dictates that harvest would put a species in jeopardy for survival, i am opposed to harvest. but i don't believe animals should be afforded the same protections we have decided to give ourselves. even if you think the whales are people, i don't.
i know the original post was probably in jest, but the idea of comparing a boy and a whale really sickens me. i was going to try a funny reply, but it really saddened me that one could even think of something like that. of course, the makah wouldn't hunt elian because they are good people.
