Funny how you're forced to eat cockatoos, yet all those sheep roam
around intact and bearing big smiles on their fuzzy little faces.

you do know the recipe for cooking a cockatoo don't you.

Place cockatoo in billy with water and add 3 rocks, add any vegetables you
have and season to taste. Cook on a rolling boil for 6 hours. Take off heat
discard cockatoo and eat the rocks

I remember reading about one of the protesting "heroes" actors getting man-handled by japanese fishermen, a lady at that. Controversial, I can't really fault people a for eating a traditional meat but not if it is inhumane and/or pointless, so it just depends on the situation to me.

They'd have to be fatty ones, lean meat doesn't sell that well here. Biggest
seller in the protein line here is lamb flaps which are about 80% fat.
Probably due to the fact that protein is a real treat and one tin of fish or
bully beef costs about 4 hours wages for a security guard. You haven't seen
anything like the locals chomping down the ferns. Now it were sumo carcasses
on offer, I could find a market for that.

It's not Japanese, but it's really fat and almost butchered.
