Not to the same degree, much as I would be outraged over the cruel and needless killing of a farm animal over the squashing of an insect (the latter, not at all).
I''l freely admit that it's a result of cetaceans being more "like us" than fish. That the research suggests that cetaceans are highly intelligent and self-aware is, in my opinion, a good reason to afford them more protection under the law than we do to species that we harvest for food or consider pests.
