Yes. We kill animals to eat meat. I've killed animals.

If the animal is not endangered, and the meat is safe, I don't really
care. Note that even the Japanese government will acknowledge in very
small news items, that their research has revealed unacceptable levels
of dioxins and heavy metals in whales and dolphins, as well as certain
species of fish. But the Japanese continue to kill, and the Japanese
continue to eat anyway, while in an uproar over "foreign" food problems
such as GM foods, pesticides, bread enzymes, meat buns, cattle feed,
bottled water, mad cow and carp herpes.

A common Japanese reaction is to ban imports of foodstuffs they do not
approve of, resulting in such oddities as Subway Sandwich shops without
sandwiches, or Mr Donut Yumcha without meat buns. But note how the
Japanese whaling, fisheries, cattle, and agricultural industries
continue on despite any and all reported problems. In the case of
whaling, they are even expanding their hauls to greater numbers and more
species, and wish to resume full commercial operation.
