Consider humanity as  the ultimate predator. Many if not most of us,  particularly in the United  States, are quite comfortable with the harvesting of  organisms like tuna, deer,  ducks, or rabbits. Other countries and cultures,  however, value species that  rarely, if ever, find their way to the North  American dinner plate. What are  your thoughts on the harvesting of organisms  such as whales, dolphins, seals,  etc.? Is hunting the only major issue that  might threaten the existence of these  organisms? Should we limit ourselves to  eating only certain organisms? Why, or  why not? In what ways are you selective  about the foods you eat?
