Also why have you ignored the point I made about the Ainu fishing rights? Japan are hypocrites... citing tradition when it comes to whaling but denying Ainu access to wild salmon in the name of tradition? Quote:
Overall I think Sea Shepherd is doing a great job in stopping the whaling. I don't think violating International law helps their cause but if it is true and Japan made no money out of this "research" then good on them. They've won the battle. The whaler's are not the innocent "little guys" to me. They are a cog in the machine that is Japanese whaling enterprise. They deserve everything they get. |

I`d be perfectly happy if it were stopped. I don`t see it as necessary at all. The thing that I am complaining about is the actions of Sea Shepard. Quote:
And still, no one has touched on why Japan is being attacked left and right but not Norway, Iceland, or any other country that is whaling in a commercial capacity. |

Ronin, we get it. You want whalers dead. Keeping saying it doesn't bode for reasonable debate. |

Japan gets all the publicity. Painting Japan as an enemy is a whole lot easier than doing the same to Norway, and various groups have stated this. If people are against whaling, they should be against whaling - not against whaling if Japan is doing it. |

Japan hunts in close proximity to New Zealand and Australia and we are the most vocal anti-whaling nations out there. So perhaps it's simply a matter of geography on a governmental level why Japan is the target here. |

Beating a child because his father did you wrong is, in essence, a mistake; Throwing objects at workers because you disagree with their bosses is, similarly, a mistake. |

What mass extinction are you talking about? The world is not over-populated YET (but is heading towards it). There's a sad fact that you've probably heard before that the world has enough food in it to currently feed everybody.
