Geopolitical Rant of the Day: Whalers should Drown
Whaling. Namely whaling disguised as "research" as done by the Japanese. Last year off the coast of Antarctica, quite a ways away from the "traditional" whaling grounds of the ancient Japanese, roughly 450 minke whales and 5 endangered fin whales were brutally slaughtered for "research". Incedentally the remains were also sold to Japanese restaurants for 26 million dollars. How is this not commercial.
Okay, the oceans are dying. And these are whales. Furthermore some of the whales they want to hunt are endangered whales. This is absolutely ridiculous. And the Japanese are not alone. They are joined in their disgusting pasttime by the Norwegians, and Native Americans/Eskimos. Just one more example of how screwed up everything is. Lets go hunt end
angered species. I mean really the meat from these animals is not linked to the survival of the people who are hunting them. In Japan it is gourmet.This year they want to double their catch to 900 minke whales and 10 fin whales.
Greenpeace is heading down there to impede the research and I wish them the best of luck.

Because it's not enough to drive the animals ON the earth to extinction, right? We have to turn the ocean into a gravesite and cesspool, too...
geez.
Anyway -- my rant aside, i'm totally feeling your site! I'll be back to more!
That is just rediculous. How can you possibly need to kill 900 whales for research -- let alone 2. I ~suppose~ (not that i like it though) that you might be able to propose a single whale for research but then certainly not an endangered one! This is horrible and outrageous. Good luck to greenpeace in their effords.
