A Dilemma : Should you Harpoon a Whale Through the Eye?

Today I post a dilemma that has plagued me for some time. When out whaling (that is, killing whales) should we try to aim for the Whale's eye?

Naturally, the eye is the most painful place to pierce the Whale with the harpoon, however the eye is also the tastiest part of the Whale.

So is it best to leave both eyes unharpooned so that they may be saved for the frypan? Or is the experience of seeing the Whale flail and bellow in agony worth the sacrifice of one eye?

I know some folk who feel that it's only moral to harpoon both eyes for the sake of punishing the whale for it's evil, but to me that seems rather wasteful because there are of course other ways to inflict pain on the Whale that leave the eyes free to be eaten. However I grant that they're not quite as excruciating as the eye harpoon.

What do others think? Let me know in the comments?
