Japanese whalers won't say if they'll spare Migaloo
Migaloo, whose Aboriginal name means White Fella, is believed to be the only completely white humpback whale in the world and is often spotted among the humpbacks which form the basis of Australia's whale-watching industry.
AAP inquiries of Japan Fisheries Agency about the fate of Migaloo and other white whales were met with "no comment".
I would estimate that they would feel much better knowing that the Japanese would be facing the Australian Navy rather than some of the waffle that is thrown about in discussions on whaling.
bearmarket
PS nc, I (also) drive a Toyota, so didn't vote option a) - "boycott japanese"
but looking at that photo of the white mother and calf
I think my next car might be something other than Jap lol.
Im glad your Family have a good sense of Humour, Im pretty sure that misrepresenting what you feed people is Illegal, if it happened to me I would certainly consider pressing charges.
Its a brave new world out there
Anyone actually tried whale? It's pretty good, maybe try it first before accusing Japanese of exerting their right to live their culture in their way.
Thaty's like saying, "human tastes good so it is ok to kill and eat them." And yes, to some homosexuals, and probably certain women, certain aspects of humans perhaps do taste good. But does this make it ok to kill and eat humans?
P.s. - i'm a bit tipsty if you havcen't already giuessed.
They are beautiful majestic Animals even smarter than you, just unfortunate they cant defend themselves.What is it about whales?
They where bred by People to feed people and cant compare to a whale.What about all the other poor little animals that are being slaughtered every day?
There are to many people, its inevitable and natural that some must starve.What about all the starving people?
Not me, cant be too bad or they would revolt ? ...Who out there, so worried about the poor whales actually give a stuff about what is going on in Zimbabwe?
Whats up with them ? they have a belly full of tucker and a wallet full of cash, and no one is hunting them down for scientific research ..Or even just up north with our own Aboriginals?
Anyhow, now that I've got that of my chest,I'm off to drop another live crayfish into a boiling hot pot of water.
Mmmmmmmmm delicious.
in any case:
B killing whales in this day and age to me is insanity no matter what the method.
As for whales recovering in numbers that is also way off the mark. I get the feeling the pro whalers think that they will soon recover to some where near previous numbers.
In the days when Nokia was eating his whale meat the food source for whales was exponentially bigger than current stocks world wide which we will never see the like off again this is not scare mongering its fact. Whales will never recover to previous stock levels ever.
Practices of past centuries simply do not translate though I guess the question is why kill whales I am yet to hear a valid argument all the products taken from whales were produced by other means well before the 60’s?

mate sorry to say but that is insanity, typical greeny that gives more of a sh*t about animals then his own.
How many whales get killed compared to say poor africans today?
sometimes i just dont understand where people have their priorities
Come on spare us the sentimental stuff -
the world has a ceiling on how many people it can sustain, records droughts/climate change and some of the worlds most fertile farmlands being forced into biofuels is going to prove this more than ever - the underlying reason Africans run around killing each other is because of shortage of resources and narrow minded idiots like Bob Geldof have done nothing but help create more misery, unless you plan on flying in some rivers and fertile farmland nature must take it coarse.
Alternatively let people loose to pollute the last river, catch the last fish, cut down the last tree then perhaps we can all dig in and share a bowl of money huh?
technology and access to cheap energy is what the african nations need. ironically the very things greeny nutters like yourself seek to deny them.
it is absolutely astounding that one one hand you bleat about a whale being harpooned yet have no such qualms about human beings starving to death.
greenism at its finest.
How do you come to the conclusion that Enviromentalists would seek to deny Africa Tech and energy ? wouldnt that be self defeating, ahh I get it, your trying to paint Enviromentalists as extremists, nice try.
By the way there is no cheap energy left, the only cheap energy as will be shown by the benefit of hindsight will be renewable energy.
Your opinion amuses me though, in one breath you support Dubbya and his mideast adventures that result in Hundreds of thousands of Deaths,
and on the other your all caring about Africans, are you shifting your natural right wing leanings to support a discussion or are you all of a sudden getting caring ? Do you donate to African aid programmes ?
really? can you provide me a quote of me saying this?
Again sorry, seems i mixed you up with another poster
no because greenies like yourself would love to see the end of cheap coal powered energy.
No, most people who accept climate change and respect the planet want Clean Coal technolgy - its in the pipeline btw.
And coal isnt Cheap to Africans anyway, China snaps it all up , renewable with minimal ongoing input costs is the only long term solution.
And arguing cheap energy is a solution for africa doesnt quite wash with me, Zimbabwe point in case, prosperous then along comes their Hero Mugab consficating White folks farms and now they are unproductive weed infested wasteland .... maybe some folks are natural hunter gatherings and some are natural farmers eh ?
Anyway guess we are getting well off subject .....
