Do people mind being harpooned? Asking for a friend.
We can’t be sure until a government study tells us.
Unrelated I’m looking for volunteers in a government run experiment.
Who would have thought?
Damn. Stabbing things hurts them? I’m just learning this now for the first time…
I know, definite some big if true level shit here.
Almost reminds me of when scientists had to explain to people that fish and crustaceans also feel pain.
Ikr? Stabbing… Not good. I have to write this down.
Maybe they noticed certain calico sea mammals have started fighting back
Something really funny about needing a report to work that out.
“Surprisingly, when you stab someone with a sharp and pointy stick, it hurts quite a bit. Fascinating.”
Nobody could have predicted this.
That’s good news. Maybe it’ll put pressure to stop collecting shark fins
I thought harpooning whales was an ancient relic of the past, not something we’re STILL fighting against in the 21st century. Oof.
How else do you propose we acquire delicious and non threatened minke whale meat?
