It's a common fallacy to suggest that focusing on one issue implies ignorance of, or lack of concern for, another. This is a discussion forum, we operate (mostly) single-topic discussion threads. You could start up a topic on any of those animals if you like.

You might as well claim I have no interest in the climate change issue just because I've not sold my car and reverted to subsistence farming.

Greenpeace would agree with you. They just don't think it's necessary to kill the whales in the pursuit of that 'research'.
