Are white-tailed deer endangered, as whales are? I am asking...
No, but oddly enough they were on their way to extinction
until white-tail hunting began to be regulated. Since the regulation of hunting ie licenses (and bag limits) who's fees are used to fund state conservation projects etc. The white tailed deer has become the most abundant big game animal in North America.
And could the things the Japanese must do with the bits and pieces, be done with other bits and pieces? Does not have to involve whales?
To be honest with you I don't know anything about whaling and what is done with the whale parts. As long as the majority of the animal is used and the catch is regulated accordingly, i don't have a problem with it though. There is a difference between hunting an animal and over-hunting though.
There can be some sympathy toward them for the destruction of a way of life, ie whaling. However, the Scottish fishing industry (sure there will be others) has been decimated by EU rulings on fishery protection. Entire fleets have been eradicated in order to protect fishing stocks.
Don't even get me started on the EU.
