Damien15,
It is not true.
I am sure many yakuza also enjoy whale and the other sea food. It is normal thing to eat sea food. We must take a little of each type of sea food, to help keep balance of sea ecosystems.

The comments of cleo were very interesting. If cleo has the correct knowledge of whale eaters, I wonder cleo would have the nicer opinion of this issue. Minister Okada has the correct knowledge. Many Japanese are also impressed by him, and now wish he would be Prime Minister of Japan because of his good comments.

cleo, kyushujoe,
Here you are.
http://www.dpj.or.jp/policy/manifesto/seisaku2009/15.html
DPJ supports the whaling, of course. I do not think there exists a party in Japan that does not support the whaling.
Do not believe the anti-whaling propaganda easily. Japan will never end the whaling.

cleo,
Check DPJ manifesto. It is clear.
Also, today I checked Minister Okada's comments carefully. He reject claim of anti-whalers about whaling industry and amakudari. Even if there is the problem, it does not mean the end of the whaling. Only the end of amakudari.
The anti-whaling propaganda deceives you, I think.

Potsu,
Australian is always complaining about whale food culture.

kyushujoe,
DPJ policy is for normal whaling to be started, once again. Whale eaters wish Australians would respect the whale food culture.

smithinjapan,
The catching of whales in the Antarctic is by the IWC rules. It has been such for a long time, even anti-whalers agreed to this. Eating whale is part of the food culture of Japan.
sarcasm,
Whale has been food culture for many hundreds of years. Thanks to Norway for good whaling technology, it could become more widespread since 100 years ago.
Potsu,
Australian is full of complaint about other culture. Even they are killing millions of animals for food. No one can listen earnestly to Australian.

Patrick,
It is not the commercial whaling. This is paused by IWC decision of 1980s. Now, sale of whale meat supports research, plus tax. We wish to change it back.

smithinjapan,
Whalers did not have the boat to go to the antarctic for the whales in hundreds of years ago. So we could not catch them until we obtain the boats for doing so, before Pacific war. We are grateful to Norway for the good whaling technology.

Patrick Smash,
I do not know about court much, but Japanese research programme is providing the research for the whale eaters. It is by rule of IWC. The judge should accept the rule of IWC, not by opinion of anti-whalers. Of course, IWC scientists agree the value of the research.

Hinozke,
Yes. Australian should be taught the same also.

Patrick Smash,
The whaling convention of IWC is for the catching of whales. Whale eaters can never agree to new rules like those you say. The rules of now are good. Just anti-whalers do not accept it, I do not understand why. So, they should leave IWC, not whale eating countries.
Anyway, do not forget that Minister Okada knows Japanese whale eaters well, more than you who does not eat.

cleo, Patrick Smash,
It is absolute that Minister Okada knows it better than you, the anti-whaler.
steen,
Yes, sadly the whale is pricey. One might say, this is a evidence of average Japanese person's hope to eat the whale.

Kangaroos do not live in the Antarctic. So, of course Australians do not go there to catch them.

There are many many whales in Antarctic ocean. Japan's research has helped prove it.

MeanRingo, we can not catch whales without science. Whales are not the farmed animals.

It is said the crazy Hannah will be on the ship for just one week. Because she must go back to hollywood to continue her acting works.
Not enough time to "save the whales"?
She makes a fool of the Sea Shepherds. It is good.

It is crazy things to disturb the other vessel in the middle of the cold south ocean. If Sea Shepherd do not like to be called crazy, they should stop behaving like such. To complain of this makes one seem like "the most cowardly dog that howls the loudest".

It is true there are some crazy Japanese as well.
I thank you for recognising our rights to desire and eat whale meat. I feel there is decreasing opposition in Japan, thanks to the crazy people of Sea Shepherd, whaling has much support. People do not understand why it is "right to eat cows and wrong to eat whales".
Opposition to us is decreasing, really, in and out of Japan. We have good friends in many places in the world, and as we see in our whale restaurants, more foreigners are enjoying whale with us than ever. Many foreigners are now learning that the whales we eat are not endangered. This is the important fact.

cooeecobber, it is a fine joke! If you desire the fruitful discussion, you must first keenly listen and understand to the statements of we who eat whales.
