    Chickens aren’t at risk of extinction due to human consumption.

    We don’t have whale ranches.

      I don’t believe Minke whales are endangered either.

          Which would be great if they were hunting Minke whales, but they’re hunting fin whales, which are endangered.

      Farming livestock is industrialised animal cruelty. Animals are kept in squalid conditions. Whales have a good life followed by a quick death (unless it dies in the Faroe Islands). Dynamite tipped harpoon will get the job done right.
