About the whales, then I guess that I'm pretty hypocritical for I still don't approve killing for sport like these whales or bulls in corrida or for fur like the baby seals. But hey, everybody has an opinion.

It's not my fault that you don't know and I'm not here to educate you.

But anyhoo.... if a fox gets into a chicken coop it WILL kill every chicken, if that's not killing for pleasure I don't know what is.

I don't approve of killing bulls in an inhumane way either. If the bull wasn't stressed during this "sport", it died instantly and it was used for food then I wouldn't have a problem but that's not the way it is.

As for baby seals, if they're killed quickly and their fur is used I don't have a problem either.

Stop being a clot. The whales aren't endangered and are killed for food.

I don't have a problem with animals being used for food. I do have a problem, though, with performing it in a ceremonial fashion and celebrating killing. If that makes me a clot, well, that's what I am.

Actual certain whales, dolphins and seals have been observed killing for what appears to be fun.

Killer whales have been frequently observed catching, killing then playing with the bodies of seals and penguins then just leaving them without eating them.

Dolphins have been observed tossing fish around in play.
Up in New England Common Dolphin have been killing their smaller cousins called Harbor Dolphins for no apparent reason.
Leopard seals frequently play keep-away with penguins that they have killed and just leaving the body as well.

Male lions, after taking over a new pride, kill all the existing cubs, not to eat but to bring the females back into heat.

Domesticated dogs will often run down and kill small game without eating it. They will also try to breed your kneecap, the sofa, etc.

Yeah my parents once had a dachshund that went next door and killed one or two of the neighbours chickens.

Nature is surprising and there are examples also of homosexuality in the animal kingdom too. You gotta LOL @ the people who say "We're better than animals"
