Interesting article in New Scientist published 17 June this year.

"The Scientific Committee of the IWC has explicitly stated that the results generated by the Japanese Whale Research Program in the Antarctic (JARPA) "were not required for management". Independent research shows that the data may overestimate whale abundance by up…

"the school has no case here as a "hate crime" vs. free speech"

This IS a hate crime. The kids were abused because of their ethnicity and the protesters hatred of Koreans. Free speech doesnt extend to attacking innocent children. If their parents can be shown to be spies, get…

ihope2eatwhales - "Anti whaling governments can not change the food culture of Japan"

What tosh, the US is an anti whaling government and I would bet any sum more Japanese eat McDonalds than whale. France is an anti whaling government and I imagine French cuisine enjoys greater popularity in Japan…

ihope2eatwhales - "imacat, you should check carefully the comments of Minister Okada. As he says, whale is part of Japan's food culture. Anti-whalers cannot change it"

"As usual, the anti-whaler say many things with no idea of truth"

Interesting comment considering ihope2eatwhales says many things over and over again in spite of the truth. I suppose the belief that he who shouts loudest shouts longest exists in that house, nevertheless I dont see anyone pursuaded to…

ihope2eatwhales - "SwissToni - It is the natural thing that the research is aimed at whaling interests. We hope to eat whales. It is also the useful research for other people. In future, they too may need to eat the whales, due to climate changes, and such"

USARonin I think grenading whales to death is a moral issue and many agree. Its nothing to do with your perception of me, or anyone assigning anything to anything. If my pointing out pro whalers lack of a moral compass offends you then you will have to learn to suck…

So USARonin's participation in the debate is morally vacant. Any of the others care to fess up?

MrUSA, youhope2eatmorewhales, kwatt (is that spelled correctly??), USAmercenary - Most of the world doesnt know or care about Japans whale 'reseach' because there is so little of it and what there is is aimed at Japans whaling interests.
