Whale Hunting
I think the Japanese should be applauded for their stand on whaling. Geez you do-godders would think these oversize blubbers are of use. What are they good for? Disrupting ferries in Sydney Harbour, sinking expensive yachts and making tourism operators richer.
At least these over-rated whales are being put to good use in scientific research in curing hunger in Japan. Bonzai, Bonzai, Bonzai!!!

Re: Whale Hunting
Fuck those Japanese. There is no such scientific research. It's all about increased demand for whale burgers in Japan. Disgraceful.
How about we harpoon a few Japanese for scientific/research purposes?

here the population of the whale they are targeting:
* North Pacific: 17,000-28,000. This stock is considered a Protection Stock by the IWC, because of the high uncertainties in these estimates.
* Northeast Atlantic: 70,000-186,000. The IWC estimated this population at 90,000 to 135,000 in 1996. An estimated population of 6,000 whales was determined for the area North and East of Jan Mayen. The Central Atlantic stock was estimated at 60,000 in 1995. A 1990 survey estimated this same population at 28,000. The difference was attributed to a population increase and improved census methods.
* Southern Hemisphere: 200,000-416,700.

And the other problem with whales grim is they are greedy buggers eating up all the fish in the ocean that we humans could be eating too . So therefore if we kill all the whales we'd have all the whale meat annnnnd all the fishy's they usually feast on to eat aswell. World hunger would probably be non-existent if the whales were not around.

I agree KE. Look what the whales have done to the oceans but also to the Todd River in Alice Springs. Before the whales went there that river was swarming with fish, but look at it now!King-Eliagh wrote:And the other problem with whales grim is they are greedy buggers eating up all the fish in the ocean that we humans could be eating too .

Indigenous people I would think would not hunt a species until it is extinct.Grim Reaper wrote:BeAmerican would you deny the Indigenous people of Australia their share of the whale market?
After all whales were eaten by the Indigenous peoples here as well? What do you propose? Deny Indigneous people their right to practice their culture?...Now pass me that harpoon!
Why can't the Japanese be happy with the current quota?
