why cant the japanese hunt the blow fish school that decided to have fun on my behalf this morning when it formed into the shape of a large noah and cruised by about ten metres away under overcast skies and noone else within half a km of me?.
^^^^I am as cool as ice

And it is Friday, I'll be out of here in 15min and and tomorrow I am sailing my Trimaran!
With out quoting anyone with a ridiculously long page i think one more point should be made.
Whale and Dolphin meat contains about 4 times the legal limit of Merc? ( id never get he spelling right and wont try) poisons and toxins. So much so that the chain stores in Japan will no longer sell it as they are worried about legal ramifications against them in the future when another poisoning outbreak occurs.
And for the record i hate Greed Peace. There last good action i saw was when a boat crew jumped up to try and use his body to stop a harpoon. That crew member for your info was Paul Watson and boat driver was the late Bobby Hunter.
Look the grammar lesson and all of this is just about Holding Barn to his own standards, I know it got off track but for the last week every post I have made has been stalked by barn, I admit I threw out some bait too, but I have to ask the question and I think its pertinent to the discussion, Are these realistically unsustainable numbers they are taking? Somehow I feel the campaign by some may not really be justified. Perhaps Barn can provide some Wiki evidence on the unsustainability.
The main argument I see all day is that its cruel to kill whales. The dolphin slaughter in the cove in Japan is cruel to watch but Dolphins do the same thing to their prey. People are so far removed from the reality of slaughter because we realistically cant ALL go and hunt for our food anymore.
I really dont stand here or there with the topic, I mean if people like whale meat let them eat it. Its like listening to a Muslim or Jew telling us not to eat pork, Or a vegan or vegetarian telling us we shouldn't eat meat.
I would really like to see your points other than cuteness or you married one, but in the scheme of things who are we to dictate to anyone whatever? I cant help but feel its a case of Ivory Tower Syndrome.
Also I made my point earlier in this thread regarding charities, most are not be trusted, although as pointed out by another poster some are quite legit and trustworthy and worthwhile.
Toots a whale that dies and is left in the ocean will feed life for the eqivilant of something like 16 years (memory?)
Whales there are all different numbers but Japan says they are killing them every year to see how many their are Also the biggest issue is numbers are well down but the problem (found by true researches) is that the Gene pool is now getting way to low, dangerous levels in fact and interbreeding is now a real concern.
DO you believe that whales/ sharks these are big players. Lose one or the other and we could lose the ocean. Lose the ocean and planet earth will be starfed with a big FARK
Its not about a lack of food. They have over 15 years supply of whale on ice
One big argument is not even about whaling. Antarctica is in the process of being argued over and possibly cut up to allow for mining rights. Japan believes that by staying in the Southern Ocean that when that day comes they will have a claim by saying we've been here every year for so many years so it should be ours
Hi. I'm a gay, japanese whaler that wants to pay for sex with a whale in one of those animal brothels with the money I received from the Tsunami donation fund, before I gay marry it and then kill and eat it.
How does the general forum feel about that?
