it is quite common for parents to let their kids eat snacks whilst dragging them round the supermarket and then pay for the snacks at the end. Nobody gets offended by it.

I think what the article is complaining about isn't people eating their own food in the supermarket, or…

the NIMD does not regard eating whales as being the same as suicide, as the anti-whaling / dolphin killing propaganda would have me believe

Perhaps you'd like to show us one instance of eating whale being portrayed as 'the same as suicide'. As far as I know no one has…

they recommend eating in moderation and avoid eating too much kidneys and other internal organs. Interestingly they do suggest that frequent cetacean eaters switch to eating Baleen whale products as a substitute

That's not quite right, david. Your link states that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recommends…

The teacher may have been abusing her position in front of her captive audience, but your 'lovely' Russian friend sounds like a typical fur-wearing airhead. Or since she swanned in - birdbrain.

Japan is supposed to be a peace loving country, and surely should not do any business with a nuclear oriented Iran.

I don't want to see animals suffering for anyone to wear fur......What I mean is there is nothing wrong using the fur of animals who have died anyway.

So we can put you down as being opposed to the use of dogs, cats, mink, chinchilla, fox, rabbit, raccoon, seal and…
