OT - Stop Japanese Whaling

That's done it. Don't know how I stuffed up first time.

G'day Andrew,
Yep, I'm aware that the subject has been aired here recently.
I'm not looking to get a discuscion going, just offering a way for those who are interested to take action.

But protest isn't action , it is merely a statement of opinion .

So long as your actions include buying Toyota , Nissan and Sony they know that your opinion as stated is irrelevant .

I bought a Disco , you have to love a nation who lets us win the ashes so often .

Thats how bigger things start and them bigger things are FAR worse thann a few whales being dispensed with IMHO

That was real bright, Lionel. As abhorrent as whaling is, why kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people and destroy the lives of those left to clean up the mess?

My father spent time in Hiroshima as part of the BCOF, and although he had little time for the japs, the horror of what he saw of the aftermath clearly coloured his opinion of the yanks that perpetrated the obscenity of dropping the Bomb. I had to put up with his demons throughout my childhood and it was not good.

Why doesn't our government come out and refute the Japs' claim that whaling is in the name of research and purely to do with supplying an exotic food market?

cows sheep pigs etc are farmed animals that form part of a staple diet
Whales ae not farmed inded there breeding rates would make it uneconimic. the meat does not form part of a diet and is mostly frozen and stockpiled through lack of demand

Sheep cows etc have not been hunted to near extinction in the past

and most importantly all the things you mention are economically sustainable.
the whaling makees no sense on an economic grounds and if they were to be killed at a rate that brought profit the indudtry would collapse through over harvesting within years

Better than the Blue Oyster Bar Smudger hahahahaha
