Wonder why this deal is so "shameful"? Isn't it bringing great pride to Japan? & her "justified" actions in the Antarctic? Why would anyone protest this all around the globe? But is good to see 20 Japanese come out & do a single protest in front of the Aus consulate in response! Seems fair since there were protests all around the globe regarding the sinking of the Ady Gil, & the protests from the UNHCR regarding the holding of Green Peace activists.Keep up the great work Japanese protestors, your word is getting through...

But have to admit it still is sooooo much better than the thousands that came out & protested Japanese Embassies WORLDWIDE! Not only when Japan rammed & sank a SSCS vessel, endangering all crew onboard, but also a couple of weeks later to protest the GP activists trial, along with the condemnation by the UNHCR. Keep up the GREAT foreign diplomacy Japan, is working so well for you. Not even Iran has suffered such outrage & protests worldwide, is working great for you, keep it up...

The link to that quote from the press, just to show it is not just Aus, or NZ objecting, & reporting on the illegal activities, but media all around the world, the previous quote was from the UK;

So once again the 3 nations that disregard the rest of the world secretly set to pass through their wishes, without public knowledge of, or having a chance to oppose. Ohh & apperantly according to Ossan, this is what he believes following the wishes of ALL humans on the globe, so they have the right to do it??? As it is an "ad-hoc" group of nations! Not just pro-whaling ones? & the ONLY pro-whaling nations in the world, but yet he will cry racism when the world disagrees...

From UK press today;
"The plan to end the ban imposed in 1986 will be unveiled tomorrow at a Florida meeting of the International Whaling Commission.
The draft proposals, dubbed “shameful” by critics, aim to close a loophole that has allowed Japan, Norway and Iceland to continue to kill 1,900 whales a year.
These include whaling under the guise of scientific research.
The IWC is now seeking to set a cap on the number of whales hunted over a 10-year period but so far has not revealed the quotas.
In return, the IWC would create a South Atlantic whale sanctuary.
But last night conservationists said the deal would merely reward states which have defied the ban"
If you have no problems with others closing these loopholes Ossan as you say, then give us the time & locations of these secret meetings, so the public can voice their disapproval, Or do you & Glenn not want that to happen?

davidattokyo, a peer reviewed paper means a scientific paper read, & refered/published by peers who see it as an advancement of science, medical, or scientific, & a benefit to all the human race. There are no such papers that have been released in all the years of JARPA, JARPA 2, & for all the thousands of whales that have been senselessly slaughtered. Japan has controlled the IWCR by keeping a Japanese as president of this part of the IWC, that is why Japan has got away with all these lies for years. Do you not see the self interest, & problem with the only nation that claims "scientific research", is also holding onto control of the part of the organisation designed to monitor these "scientific" programs?

& Ossan, your afore mentioned article is NOT from the NZ gov, it is in fact a press release from pro-whaling countries! Yep sure they are going to agree with Aus taking Japan to court! Gotta do better than that!

OssanAmerica, that is funny because NZ gov have also stated they will join Aus in legal action if Japan refuses to diplomatic efforts. Yet as history has shown Japan is not interested in diplomacy, only a couple of months ago Japans foreign minister rebuked Aus for its efforts to end whaling in Antarctica, so I see no reason why now the Japanese gov is going to change its stance. So I guess it will end up with more than just Aus taking them to the international court.

Ohh & places, for as I see going through all the IWC releases, they have not released this information, but you have it, so please share it with us all, as you have stated the population of the world is behind you, SSCS are terrorists, so therefore all will join this fight to resume commercial whaling...

OssanAmerica, while you are at it you can check out video footage of your much beloved group GP, being unmercisilsy rammed by J-whalers! Just as they did to the AG, overtaking from the port, & cutting across bows! As they say, history repeating itself, yet this history comes long before SSCS entered Antarctic waters...

This change, & working at has been done in secret by the Japanese for the last 12months, behind closed doors in the IWC, NOT by the IWC! Once again right up to the fact that all the time, dates, & place for the ongoing meetings before the next IWC meeting in Florida, have been held secret! Despite all other dates being announced! Yet Japan still wants to/is still with holding all details of meetings before hand! Gee, why would they want to hide these meetings? & you have yet to respond to your favorite group, GP, & their video's?
