The book #MobyDick was, at the time, #RealisticFiction about the ongoing counter-attacks that #SpermWhales were doing against anything that looked like a #whaling ship, and the ongoing efforts of the whaling ships to fight them, effectively a war between whales and #whalers.
It's not fiction, it's the result of #specieism.

And if you've ever been to the American Natural History Museum, you might have seen the “Whalers Washing House" which was a sacred shrine with dozens of tall human forms made of wood (Picture in the article). They were taken from the Mowachaht/Muchahlaht in Yuquot in 1904.
Here's hoping one day they are returned.

'Anything short of a complete ban on all whale hunting is immoral'
Everyday Philosophy: Iceland’s whaling ban is flawed
Is hunting whales for their meat any worse than killing pigs for theirs?

International outcry as Iceland lifts ban on what could be last whale hunt
The Icelandic government has announced that commercial whaling can resume after the activity was suspended for more than two months. In June, Svandís Svavarsdóttir, the country’s minister of food, agriculture and fisheries, postponed this year’s planned whale hunt until Aug. 31 due to animal welfare concerns. However, the government has now said in a statement that whaling will be able to recommence with increased monitoring and stricter regulations around hunting methods.

‘The #whaling industry… was developed to… harvest… the head of a sperm whale… The light produced by a single pure #spermaceti source (candle) became the standard measurement of "candlepower"’, evolved into the measure for LEDs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermaceti

Cruise line apologises after dozens of #whales slaughtered in front of passengers. The #FaroeIslands hunt on average 800 pilot whales annually. #whaling

(the Guardian article headline says "dolphins", though they are called pilot whales)

Great news that Iceland has stopped Whale hunting until the end of July, and it’s looking likely they’ll introduce a full ban. Takk fryrir! 🇮🇸🐋🐳 #Iceland #whaling #huntingban
