you're the animal lover dale. can you be *bothered* not to eat cod or would you like to see it extinct rather than make the effort...? Don't get me wrong I'm just as anti-whaling as you but I just believe one shouldn't just focus on one 'easy'* enviromental/conservation issue and ignore the rest.

*easy as in we're not a nation that eats whale so it's easy to be righteous about it without having to
actually adjust our lifestyles in the slightest.
