| The whole of the food production industry is profit driven, regardless of food type. Those self same manufacturers on the whole couldn't give a f£$% about what they sell to the consumer, if they could get away with it.
The whaling industry, ditto the fishing industry, is in it for the fast buck. If all the stocks ran out tomorrow as long as they mad enough money today they'd be happy. It's all part of the human character, it's this facet that needs to change. We are all guilty of greed to an extent, and as revolting as it is to see a creature such as a whale slaughtered, it's not for fun, it's for money and the current consumer world is, as said, profit driven.
For this we all share a part of the blame. If it wasn't whales it would be some kid in a sweatshop in the third world. |
