Check out Architeuthis some time and see the lengths to which its main predator goes in order to catch them...and you'll gain an entirely new appreciation of cetaceans.

I have no doubts what man has done to harvest these amazing animals. The fact that it still goes on (for sport over in COR's neck of the woods) pisses me off.

As far i know we don't capture or shoot any of them for decades.
I've been on the last whaleship we had as kid the Willem Barents that was sold off then.
Since 1964 the Dutch never hunted whales again.

That is traditional whaling for food and oil (I have eaten whale when I was a child). This is what I am talking about: http://www.divephotoguide.com/underw..._photographed/Originally Posted by PA5COR

Do you stick to the whales thigh? :P

OK I checked out Google Maps. While the Faroe Islands are COR's neighbours, they are distant neighbours. Closer to the UK and Norway......... I always thought the Netherlands and Norway were the same thing. The Dutch live there and run around among the Tulips in wooden shoes....... Learn something new everyday!

No, but if I could afford to I would have a complete collection of Whale Wars.

Mesonycoteuthis (relative of archi) and what's been eating it:

The whales in question dive to almost 8000ft in order to catch and eat the squid, finding them solely by their sonar.
