Disgusting? Hah! 

You want disgusting? How about hundreds of sailing ships hunting the Bowhead and its other cousins to near-extinction in the 1800's for commercial use? Some were hunted down so badly that they are STILL trying to recover today. And the meat was probably not even used or eaten! Talk about disgusting and being utterly wasteful. Even some (up to a 1,000) today, are being killed for 'commercial or special purpose' use even with laws banning such hunts in existence in other parts of the globe. And you harp about ONE whale being taken so it can feed an island of people who have done so for centuries and who depend on that whale for food? Arctic peoples DO NOT kill thousands and put them to waste. They are lucky if they get one or two in a year. Plus, they happen to be the ONLY inhabitants of our planet who have the right to hunt them. And, FYI, the life expectancy of the Bowhead whale IS 200+ years.
