Found this opinion piece in The Age today:

While I of course don't agree with the semi-support the author seems to lend to "scientific" whaling concerns in Japan and elsewhere, I thought he hit on something quite interesting. That is, the fact that many armchair anti-whaling folks here in Australia won't hesitate to scoff down fish without wondering about overfishing, or eat shark, or thoroughly ignore the encroaching extincton of many non-cute, 'unpopular' species of wildlife.
Just thought it was interesting, is all.
