For me it's about conservation of species. Many whales are still endangered and "a handful of shitty people" is all it takes to kill them unfortunately.
While animal cruelty in farms is a real issue, conservation of wildlife is infinitely more important IMO.
That being said, there are also sharks and cephalopods that are endangered :(
Now I need to watch the Star Trek The Motion Picture, Star Trek The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek The Search for Spock, Star Trek The Voyage Home and Star Trek The Undiscovered Country all over again. It's only been like four or five months since last time. Can't be helped.

Ahab: "What did he call me?!"
Starbuck: "It's not worth it man, let it go!"

It’s actually really easy to just not eat meat. Just don’t. That’s all you have to do.

Not a single vegan eats "protein alternatives". We just eat protein.

We’re whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon, but there ain’t no whales so we tell tall tales and sing this whaling tune.

In one of the later books, yeah, but its inclusion as part of the bible is a matter of some contention.(Doesn't make sense the way I intended. Thanks a lot, 1 Kings 16:29, you ruin everything.)

Hopefully we won't need a giant space cylinder to sort things out.

Especially Carl. But luckily for whales, Carl is a bastard because he shot a harpoon in the captain's face.

One of them should be a sperm whale.
