everyone, including and especially the pro-whalers, know and admit that they are hunting for the table

This is not true either. It is quite a silly suggestion.

It may seem like a "porkie" to you, but it is not a "porkie".

You are what is described as a "broken record"!

By the way, culture is not the reason for hunting whales in the Antarctic, or anywhere. The point is to obtain whales to eat. So your question is irrelevant anyway. I actually wrote this once already, but the moderators deleted it, while leaving your comment about it in place. Are…

It's a simple question. Yes or no.

Your question is wrong, as I told you. Culture is not bound geographically. You write a lot of stuff, but first you need to address the problem in your miscomprehension of what culture is.

cleo, Minkes generally reproduce once a year. And there were hundreds of thousands of them even when the moratorium was imposed. It was an abuse of the IWC's rules to impose it in the first place for even minkes, and this abuse will have to end if Australia expects to…

cleo, The "Southern Ocean Sanctuary" is not internationally recognised. It was only adopted through abuse of the IWC rules, by around 2 dozen nations.

imacat, Japan's food culture is already all over the globe, and expands more each year. The food culture is one thing, where the ingredients come from is another. For example, you can eat sushi anywhere these days (even if it is not authentic Japanese sushi), using ingredients from all over…
