I think there is nothing wrong with keeping whale sharks. Yes, they are in trouble but how will we ever know how to care for them in the first place if we don't try? Since they bought them from fishermen who were going to kill them I see no reason this could possibly be wrong ethically (Ugh, I hate to use that word) except that some taiwanese people aren't goig to be having whale shark soup.
