browny1,

Read the news. Compare Australia's stance on whales with it's stance on Southern Bluefin Tuna. The picture is very clear - if Australians are included in those cashing in from unsustainable exploitation then they OK it (tuna), but if it's Japan catching the whales by themselves on a sustainable…

Japanese people themselves prefer to live in a cottonwool world, where unpleasantness is hidden

Huh? Until the nutcase foreigners went to Taiji and started filming for their biased propaganda purposes they weren't using the tarpaulins. That's for the sake of the poor cottonwool nutcase foreigners, not Japanese people.

And…

Damien15,

We should only kill/eat what we can farm.

You are entitled to you "play god" culture, but do grow up enough to respect that others have differing views as to what we should and should not do.

how can we respect anything he says after this non-sense…

Australian culture doesn't believe in preserving marine life. Only whales.

And that's why Japan and Australia agree to disagree about whaling.

Blue tarpaulins being used is just common sense: 1) there are nut case foreigners out there today looking to snap the gory reality for their biased propaganda campaigns - why not make it difficult for them? 2) slaugtherhouses in anglo-saxon countries don't have an open door policy as far as…

realist, well it is cultural.

Locking animals up, fattening them and then killing them for food is the anglo-saxon culture. This doesn't go down good in some places, but it is the anglo-saxon culture and it ought to be tolerated just as the sustainable utilisation of marine resources should be.

Hey, if the folks from Broome have a problem with the way the dolphins are killed and think they know how to do it better they can at least try to show the Taiji folks how it's done, if they are friends.

But they forfeit the chance if they do…

Good to see some common sense and sanity prevailing.

People may disagree about killing certain types of animals but that's not a proper reason for people to stop being friends and respecting differences.

Let it soar or let it slide, so long as you pick the right direction you can profit either way. (Retail FX brokers let you sell a currency you don't have, so long as you have some capital in another currency to cover your potential losses)
