    Please answer the question: Why is it ethically neutral to intentionally expose a child (he wasn’t passing by, he found out it happened and drove there with his daughter) to such things on a day-to-day basis?

      Its not my onus to answer that, that’s akin to trying to prove a negative. As the one making the claim, you are supposed to try to prove it. How is exposure to a whale carcass unethical?

        Because exposing children to traumatic things can cause psychological issues and watching someone carve up a whale with a chainsaw is pretty damn traumatic for a normal child.

        Let me guess: “Prove that it’s traumatic.”
