I'm no fan of whaling but I admit that meat from the bio-industry tends to be worse in several ways.

The hogs are invasive and extremely damaging to the environemnt. Despite the lengths people go to hunt them, their population is still out of control.

IWC estimates there are a million Minke whales which are still increasing - their predominance is a harm to the real endangered maritime species. This argument had been maintained by one former IWC member country but others would not listen. Well it’s no longer a member, and we will see who was in the right in a few decades.

This comparison is not fair, Wild hogs are an invasive species in North America, and the population is up to millions. Whales and some species of dolphins are endangered animals, the population is only in the tens of thousands.
