Even when Japanese catch so-called "Tuchi whale" off coast of Japan, Australians complain.
So is that why Japan has to go to the Antarctic to grab more whales? Be realistic... if Japan did its whaling in adjacent seas (as Iceland and Norway do) then complaints from Australia would melt away.…
I am an ordinary person interested in this issue. I post here from time to time. My views are different to Greenpeace because I think it's fine for Japan to take whale's in the seas around Japan. I object to Japan's Antarctic whaling.
Japan could solve this in an instant by giving up their ridiculously outdated Victorian-style annual expeditions to the Antarctic to grab whales.
According to their own data there are an abundance of whales in the seas around Japan... why do they need additional whales from the Antarctic? Especially when these…
It raises the question... why do Iceland and Norway take whales in their coastal waters or adjacent seas whereas Japan demands to take whales from its local waters and ALSO the Antarctic?
Why is Japan so special that it needs additional whales from the Antarctic?
The fin whale is regarded as an endangered species.
Japan takes fin whales... guess where... in the Antarctic.
How about that! They demand to take an endangered species from a delicate and precious environment on the other side of the globe, all in order to preserve their food culture! What…
Hunting and eating whales is just the same as hunting and eating any other wild animal as far as I can see. As long as the whale populations and managed properly and maintained at a healthy level, I really don't see what all the fuss is about. What is so…
At least Iceland and Norway have the good sense to do their whaling in the seas in their neck of the woods.
We don't see Iceland or Norway organizing Victorian-era style expeditions to the Antarctic to grab whales... indeed many people wonder why Japan organizes these marathon voyages to a…

Are you suggesting that the whales in the seas around Japan aren't enough?

You missed the question, so just to ask again:
Wouldn't you think that was pretty arrogant to claim a "food culture" that stretched so far?
I mean, if my country was demanding to help itself to…

After all that the poor guy ended up getting a second-hand Nissan March!!
I thought this article was going to end up with him scoring a sweet deal on a Skyline or a MarkX.
Maybe he could try to "pimp his ride" but, with a Nissan March, it's a bit…
