    I am just a layperson with an interest in the topic. I have posted on this board for a long time and my views don't fit in with any one group... they really are my own views. I feel disappointed that I have to debate with professional propagandists on this…

    Iceland and Norway is hunting whales in international waters just like the Japanese.

    Unfortunately it's not quite that simple.

    Australia has a claimed EEZ off the AAT. It's a contentious claim, but Japan also has a contentious claim to a huge EEZ around Okinotorishima.

    Japan would bitterly protest if Ozzie…

    Whatever your stance on whaling Sea Shepard's tactics put peoples lives at risk and that is unacceptable.

    These reports of the protesters putting people's lives at risk are completely exaggerated.

    Don't forget it was the out of control fire on the Nisshin Maru that killed somebody and left that huge…

    Eat what you will, but no one can explain why they have to take them from the Antarctic, and why Japan cares so little about upsetting other countries.

    It really is a mystery why Japan goes to the huge expense and effort to grab whales from the pristine Antarctic wilderness...…

    Japan is conducting a scientific reseacrh programme

    That's so funny!

    Anyway, the question many people are wondering about is:

    Why does Japan need whales from the Antarctic? According to its own data it has plentiful whales in the seas around Japan... please explain why it needs additional whales from the…

    Fine be a vegan. I am not forcing you to stop being a vegan so you should not stop the Japanese for wanting to eat whales! Try to have an open mind. Love is the answer and not hate.

    Why does Japan want to eat Antarctic whales at such effort,…

    (No, the Australian claims in the Antarctica is not widely recognized internationally.)

    Australia has a claim to an EEZ off the AAT. It is a contentious claim but a claim nevertheless.

    Japan knows all about contentious claims because it has one around Okinotorishima... a huge claimed EEZ around a tiny…

    Japan's whaling policy has been hijacked by nationalist politicians and bureaucrats who see it as a matter of national pride to take whales from the Antarctic. There's no other way to explain it.

    The simple fact of the matter is that according to Japan's own data there are plentiful whales…

    My idea for getting back at the black-truckers is to print up some stickers on the Tepra at work with "baka" in Japanese. Cycle up behind them at the traffic signal and put 2 or 3 stickers on the back of the truck. The only minus point is that you…

    I've done all those and lots more similar. Boring? No. Worthwhile? Very.

    All well and good but you're making my point... wouldn't it be a million times more interesting to be involved in creating these plans and putting them into action rather than stuck in front of a computer screen…
