Japan has always been an extremely selfish, insular society, still worshiping an emperor. Simple fact is, they want their whale meat, just like they are one of the largest users of Shark Fin, rhinoceros horn, and Ivory and other imaginary medications taken from endangered species. They will go to any length, legal or illegal to maintain their traditions, while giving the finger to the rest of the world.

What is the motive of VIP, what has whaling to do India or China domestic consumption? What is the relevant connection, on what freaking proof/ground? Too generalized. But what bothers me most is the whaling, the lies, conceit, to what extend will comes to. I am worried for the whales man. So stop blaming other nations, get to the point, we need freaking conservation here, Nips can eat sea cows for all I care. But the Nips need to nip their habits to help out instead of coming out with creative whaling! Damm conceited people.

\”VIPからきますた

International wheat and other food prices are going up due to increased consumption in China and India, and this obviously puts more stress on “food security” in the public. I think, there will be a big move by Japan about whaling in next 3 years (incl. “Norway option” or officially list Sea Shepherd as terrorist organization and use due force)\”

Go green, go Deepark!

Whaling meat started at the beginning of the 17th century.Now, whale meat is nothing special.

Though it may seem unbelievable, but even today this brutal, dantesque and bloody slaughter of dolphins are still carried out each year in the Faroe Islands which belong to Denmark. A country supposedly “civilized” and belonging to the European Union. For many it is unknown this attack to life, to the sensitivity and to everything. In this bloody slaughter involving the young men to show entering adulthood (!). Is absolutely incredible that there is nothing to prevent this barbaric act that is committed against the pilot whales, a dolphin that has the intelligent approach to people out of pure curiosity.

Whaling is a cruel and disturbing way to kill an animal. The Japanese say it’s for scientific research and they need to get skin samples so they kill them. When the whales show of or dive huge chunks of skin come off and they could scoop it up in a net but they kill them instead! The meat also just happens to end up in shops for people to by!!! Whales are usually killed with an explosive harpoon that detonates inside the whale’s body!!! It’s ok to kill cows for there meat because there not endangered!!!!! The government can put a stop to this and let the population breed up again so they can survive, once there go they can never come back!! Whaling is not humane and is stupid, so stop whaling and survive on something else Japanese and Norwegian people!!

PRESERVATION!
Let’s preserve the whales and culture. I am Asian-American and would like to think that I can see both sides fairly. Growing up, I was often caused a spectacle when I ate. My American (non-Asian) friends could hardly believe the odd and peculiar things Asians eat; tongue, intestines, insects, etc. In contrast, my more traditional family could not understrand my love for hot dogs, Big Macs, and deep dish pizza.
I don’t want any animal going extinct, but I also don’t want cultures being changed just because outsiders think it’s gross to eat, in this case, whales.
If you can honestly say you understand a culture and do not agree with their actions, then by all means, go ahead. Fight your fight. But we here in the U.S. have more issues to deal with worse over-whailing. Let’s clean our house before we mind someone else’s.

Japan is a small f***** country. what the hell does it need to eat whales for? the UN and US should put sanctions on them (like banning all their automobiles and electronics) if they do not quit their s***.
seriously, if all the countries decided to get a quota of their whaling rights, the I’m pretty sure Japan would have to do with 1/1000th of a whale portion per year. kudos to the greenies, biologists, and all those who support the whales, and all those who oppose Japan’s irrational stand on whales.

I can speak only poor English.
I am glad that an argument about active whaling is considered to be it here and think.

Please try so hard that I have you understand the present conditions and legitimacy of the whaling towards most.

I meant ‘now I know many of whale eaters are eating just for delicacy, too after reading some more articles’ From what I used to see around me I thought only minorities near searshores like us eat whales. And they sell those whale meats overseas for dog food and stuff, too. Damn. And we get blamed for all that. I still will defent eating whales itself, though. But when people worry about more than they need, mass-slaghtering start.
