If your statement was true your conclusion might be as well. But your statement is incorrect. I can point you to relevant information about this if you like, but I get the impression that you are anti-whaling for entirely unscientific reasons.

David, the science you believe in does not exist.…

OK, I have to respond. The IWC website isn't the only source of statistics. You would do well to search wider. Try the WDCS website, for example. Even davidattokyo agrees that the data is inconclusive with regard to the minke. So it isn't, as you say, a fact. Therefore, no,…

Thanks for the sarcasm, David. If we are to believe the information on these posts, placed by those with a seemingly superior knowledge and understanding of the complexity of the whaling issue, then, yes, your word does mean that much to me.

I'm a former pro-whaler. My country stopped whaling…

But they don't/won't/can't enforce them, when either side breaks them.

Ah, another misleading statement. Perhaps you should have said: the IWC, whose job it is to ensure the sustainability of the whales, AND THE MANAGEMENT OF WHALING.

You deny that you are funded by the anti-whaling confidence scam industry?

Yes, David, I can deny that I am not funded by the "anti-whaling industry". As I have outlined on these blogs before, I gladly support Sea Shepherd in every way I can, but I am not a member,…

The whales that are hunted under the research programmes are no where near close to extinction

IWC website tables have the minke listed as data-deficient, so drawing such conclusions is a bit rich, but to be expected. After all, it is the paid lobbyists' job on this blog to…

I think the whaling lobby is really running scared on this one. The LAST thing they need, is to have Sea Shepherd NOT be bothering them. How will they spin the loss-making taxpayer-funded commercial whaling enterprise, without being able to sensationalise the actions of a boatload of hippies? Will they…

Duh
- hardly qualifies as a lucid argument. So, according to your logic, a murderer who kills someone, but hasn't been caught, or tried, hasn't broken the law?

Complete nonsense. If were "against the law" it could have been stopped through legal action a long time ago

Of course, no one wants to really test the Antarctic Treaty. There is an unspoken agreement not to "disturb" the status quo. To do so would mean the whole of Antarctica…
