> If the how ends up starving millions or billions of people, then I'm really sorry but I'm not going to side with the whales as much as I would like them to be okay.

If the world has too many people, and we're fishing beyond replenishment rate, those people are going to starve to death anyway. It's just a matter of when. Who should be sorry if there's evidence the world is beyond it's carrying capacity?

> If they really cared about the whales then they would find a way to provide for the people who eat the fish that power the industry that is hurting the whales.

It's not the job of non profits to figure out how to feed endless amounts of humans. This is no different than environmental constraints that force population declines in all other species. You can't continue to expand the human species unbounded and foist the problem on someone else when physical systems are pushed beyond their limits.
