rimturseQuickly translated from this articleabout whale-meat, meat production/consumption and CO2-levels, which I found in Berlingske Tidende
Greenpeace: Most important is that the animal survives:
Norway and Japan, which are the two major whaling nations, are trying to promote whale-meat after years of condemnation from other countries.
A temporary ban on whaling was enforced in 1986 to prevent the extinction of the animals.
"The animal's survival is far more important than lowering the CO2-levels from eating it", says Truls Gulowsem from Greenpeace.
"Almost all foods are more environmentally friendly than meat. Other fish do not affect the climate that much."
Excuse me...OTHER fish? A whale is not a fish!
