Whale Wars

After the Sea Sheperds sent the japanese whaling fleat back home early last season saving over 800 whales, today, the japanese have realesed that will continue to hunt and kill whales for 'research'(1000 whales are there quota and not 1 goes to research, its all sold in stores).
This season of whale wars on animal planet, the sea sheperds are bringing back the Gojira( japanese for godzilla ) and plan on shutting down the whaling fleat once more.
Does anybody watch the tv show?
What are your thoughts on the japanese being able to hunt and kill a quota of 1000 whales every year?

Where there is light, there is always darkness.

After doing some research, I've come to find the beliefs of the Sea Shepherds organization to be radical. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say that it's socialist in its basis and thinking. They abide by an 'international conservation law', which is provided by the United Nations. These two in themselves have moved toward one-world government. Besides that, their radical environmentalist views seem to put the animals in higher priority than humans. That's my take on it.

Na na na na na na na na na - BanMan!

that they may make the whales number 1 priority, all members are aware of the risks

Where there is light, there is always darkness.

And you actually made this. o-o

We have no right to tell Japan how to live their lifes. But, we still act like we are angels. Japan calls whaling, "pest control". Japan thinks Whales are eating to much fish and it's supposedly interfering with their fish industry.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

3raser, this was made before our discussion.

we do have the right to protestagainst japan for killing off the whale population.
japan, sells the whales for commercial use. to make money, thats it.

what they are doing is completly cruel and wrong.

They'll see that whale meat is horrible, with the high levels of mercury in it.

Because there not hunting 1000 of them a year.
And many consider whale meat to be very good.

Actually, we kill over 1000 animals a year... But most of them are domesticated. Why doesn't Japan just farm whales? :P

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

but we don't kill 1000 wild animals a year.
they should farm whales :P

The distinguished viperII spake:

lots of resources may be needed to keep them fed.

Well, whales provide lots of resources.
