taj tokoyo,
That is exactly what I am talking about, petty little nit picking. But nice to see you ramain true to form.
No "academic" response to Japans response to the ban on importing BFT?
And i'm guessing you are both ok with shark finning, whale and dolphin slaughters and the wildlife used in chinese medices?

David tokoyo, you are a tool.
Your answers are straight off the bogus ICR website which is not even administrated by scientists nor experts, but uses taxpayer paid no bodies to spread the government propaganda.
Icr is a non scientific smokescreen for japans supermarket science.
Whether or not you agree with the tactics of anti-whalers, you have to agree japans outrageous arrogence towards the rest of the worlds consevation efforts is appalling.
Blue fin tuna will become commercially extinct with-in the next 5 years?
There is a call to stop the importation of BFT for a few years to enable them to be successfully commercially viable one day.
japan whom consumes 80% of the worlds tuna consumption, has launched an forceful attack against those who are trying to conseve tuna for EVERYONE.
They forcefully say they will never agree to an importation ban.
The idea is to allow countries to catch BFT under a quota system, only within there own eez.
Why should japan have a problem with that?
Others nations agree, only russia and china and a few small impoverished nations are following japans stance.
Japan claims to love Tuna, yet will not join efforts to allow its numbers become economically viable again in the future.
Is this japans way punishing other nations for halting there take over the world during the war, by destroying it for everyone?
less than 1% eat whale anymore...so there is much more to the taxpayer funded 2,000 mile ride to whale sanctuary to kill whales that no one even wants...or for that matter not many even know about.
Japan's media never tells the truth, or the other side of the story.
!0,000 whales and not one peer reviewed

Argue the intricate points of the article all you like.
But before you put your points forward, you might like to google the history of nations like japan,russia and particulary china, with regards to any kind of marine management or land management for that matter.
Historically, they have opposed any international moves to protect OUR marine heritage, and have gone to great lenghts to encourage illegal catches,and thwart sustainable fishing regulations. The bodies they seek to "regulate" their fishing, instead of harsh bans, have a LONG history of being unable to properly regulate and wide open to manipulaion by these nations, so of course it is in their best interests to continue this allegance.
They firmly believe their "culture" should enable them to continue this cruel and unsustainable fishing practice, and others like it in regards to wildlife.
Headhunting was also a cherished "culture", does that make it right for this to continue today?
We need ONE incorruptable governing body to stand up, impose working import bans without loopholes and severly ENFORCE those regulations for non compliance, now .
And those nations as well as our grandchildren will be able to enjoy the presence of these species in the future, and fishermen will also be able to fish once again.

Again japan defies International conservation and sustainable management proposals. Japan wants it's cake...and want to eat it NOW, and dosent like sharing!
The majority of the nations will abide by the proposals at a considerable financial loss , in the hope of allowing the tuna time to reach commercially sustainable levels once again and ensuring their fishing industries will be viable into the future.
Japan will do as it did with the moritorium on whaling, use a loophole to not only keep fishing for tuna, but will indeed increase it's fleet to make up for the looss of international trade...and catch the entire 80% themselves thus escalating the commercial extinction of bft for EVERYONE!
not a smart move for a country that has almost No natural resources and relies heavily on those OTHER abiding nations for their very survival.
Bring on the sanctions!
