Graywolf0813, so long as people hope to eat whales, there will be whales to hunt and eat.

I hope very much to eat whale, but avoid to say so in the face of non-Japanese. Some foreigners become crazy about this, it is easier to just agree with them and make them happy in such face-to-face situations. But I have also met level-headed non-Japanese too. Especially recently, many non-Japanese enjoy whale cuisine.

I believe Aussie beef is very cheap, often poor quality product. I avoid it.
I checked MLA homepage. Please see the following text:
"Australian beef currently dominates the low value end of the food service market, but has been less successful in the high value end. However, continuing economic tough times in Japan offer opportunities as operators try to reduce costs whilst maintaining product quality."

This news is not about objections against whaling. It is a business article about resumption of trade.

To Zen_Builder, I have heard that our friends do not have a taste for fin whale, or whale blubber. They hope to eat only small minke whales. This is a fortunate thing for we in the Japanese market.
I do not understand the western reports well. For trade issues, I believe "keizaisangyooshoo" is relevant government body. It seems western reporters have asked fisheries agency about this trade. I do not know for sure, but I guess fisheries agency has little to do with international trade issues such as this.

To cleo, you may eat as much salt as you hope to. We hope to eat whales, and we are not worried by things such as whales being called fish. You are very cunning. The link also says whale is a meat, many times. I only saw what you were talking about by reading very carefully.

To imacat, you copy everything you wrote at the previous story, and paste it here, once again. Again you talk about an "association". This association does not exist. Please see:

You need not repeat yourself forever.

To imacat, You often say the same things, over and over and over again. This story has nothing do with Antarctic whaling. But you repeated your statements again anyway. Very strange. Also strange that moderator-san did not delete them.
But I have a comment for you, this time.
There is enough people here who hope to eat this 80 tons of meat, there is no mistake.

Please refer to health benefits of whale meat http://www.mogumogu.jp/shopping/meat/ds0000025.htm Besides tasting lovely, and being healthy, this is also important food for some people with allergies.

cleo, when Japan agreed to imports from Norway in 2002, blubber imports were excluded due to high contaminant levels. I suppose if there is still a problem with blubber, there will be no blubber imported now either. Even just healthy red meat is very welcome.

Hello cleo!
The meat has already been tested for "PCBS, mercury and all sorts of analysis". Whale consumer concern is now to obtain some, before Greenpeace Japan steals it. Care must be taken to prevent Greenpeace Japan from intruding on private property and contaminating the product maliciously. Final concern is to get some before it is sold out.
People such as Ragnhildur Sigurdardottir are welcome to their opinion, it matters not to whale eaters.

Dear Patrick, What you mention sounds strange, somewhat. I do not think it is the true story.

Before we worry about toxins, we must first worry about whether we are able to buy the meat. Greenpeace Japan may try to steal it once again.
I am sure the meat has been well tested to ensure it is safe, and Icelandic and Norwegian producers are much more trustworthy than American and Chinese producers.

NuckingFutz, please enjoy your jokes. We who wish to eat whales will enjoy our whale meals.

To Fair Dinkum!, I will gratefully eat your share, but I wish not to eat greedily the share of other eager whale consumers. I believe the anti-whaling rhetoric is more toxic than the fin whale meat from Iceland will be.

Wonderful news! I look forward to sampling some products of our viking allies!
However, 80 tons of meat is so small. It may be difficult to find in shops.

It is good for such nations to cooperate together and ensure the safeness of their whale catching. Because the oil-greedy nations wishing to fuel their industrial revolutions in the past failed to do so, today it is we who hope to eat whales that suffer. We can not forget this lesson, and make sure our children can also enjoy whale as we do.
