“ What a waste of good nutritious meat . Why would anybody do such callous act of destruction is beyond comprehension . These pilot whales could've been butchered and the meat sold for human consumption if they had been killed for that purpose , instead of letting it go to waste . YES our people should have access to healthy food from the sea , as our forefathers enjoyed , before the whalers slaughtered these animals to near extinction . Why are Norway , Iceland , Japan killing huge numbers of pilot whales for human consumption , why cant Tonga do the same . Our people are sick from eating unhealthy food imported by unscrupulous businesses who don't care . They should all be SHOT ! Pilot whales are not on the endangered list ! Think how beneficial that would be for the country as a whole. ”
