I'm not in favour of it. However I'm not against it either.
I eat meat, do I know that all meat I eat is killed in a humane way? No.
Would I like to think it is? Yes. But then you could easily argue that battery farms etc are inhumane…
Cleo, I will never argue that whaling is humane.
However I will argue that regulated whaling of certain species is acceptable because of their numbers. Clearly the Minke Whale is one of those that falls into that category.
The purpose of the Convention is to provide for the proper conservation of whale stocks and thus make possible** the orderly development of the whaling industry. **"
That's worth repeating as some people don't really understand that. Or if they do, they choose to ignore it.
Perhaps it's time for Japan to leave the IWC. And then they can stop the research that people find so offensive and then kill as many whales as they like.
With two Brits on board I expect the British government to get involved in this. Which would probably mean that the SBS are heading over to the area for a bit of a change of scenery.
I expected better off you Cleo.
So trying to endanger the lives of people doing a job (whether you agree with that job or not is irrelevant) is accaptable?
Good luck and God bless all the crew of Sea Sheperd.
With a bit of luck they will cause some serious mayhem for the Japanese this time. Quite simple really... Warn them first, then ll one need do is fire poison into the carcasses with 12 guages and they won't…

Cleo - I'm also not against it. If there were more humane ways of killing whales would you accept it? Of course not.
Papawhale - every animal has the right to live it's life free. But they don't. What makes whales so special?

Naruki, you may want to check the data for estimated levels of Minke Whales.

Whaling is illegal and the Japanese need to start adhering to international law. Oh wait a minute...
