tax deductable whale hunting expenses
Cr*p. What you learn reading IRS publications, in particular Pub 526, which allows some whale hunting expenses to be deducted on Schedule A.

Also, although in general contributions to foreign based charities are not deductible, there are exceptions for some Canadian, Mexican, and -surprise- Israeli charities. I wonder if the latter include the ones that bulldoze Palestinian villages and plant forests over their sites.

2. Foreign dedcutions are allowed only if there is income from those countries
and there are limits on those deductions as well.

The whaling deductions are very limited and tied to indigenous peoples doing approved whaling under the auspicious of the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission.
