Am I unreasonable to think that the general masses are really a bit stupid to believe everything they see and read on the internet? The current shocking photographs are riddled with inaccuracies and people are so quick to judge they don't bother to arm themselves with the facts.

I agree, but then I'm vegan.

Cetaceans are very hard to kill. AFAIK the method used is the quickest and most humane.
