Bloody Jap Whalers

[imdying]

The only I have with the Japanese whaling fleet is that the species they are harvesting (for whatever reason) is being harvested at an unsustainable rate and the effect of said harvesting on the global oceanic ecosystem is not fully understood.

I agree

The other issue I have is that the Jpanese are allowed so far from their own territorial waters to engage in the harvesting of these animals. Why do they not harvest the stock that are available in their own territorial waters?

Dude, these are whales... the whole freakin ocean is their home... you gotta be prepared to chase them a bit if you wanna kill them. Having said that though.... breeding them in big tanks would be the win, and you know 100% that the Japanese have the technical skill to achieve that

Are goats wild and domestic? What about camels? Or many other species that have been domesticated?

Just about every domestic mammel has been domesticated by man. Many were creature that roamed wild before man found it's intended uses. I don't agree with whaling due to the sure extinction of a beautiful creature and the way it's performed using torturous methods. I wouldn't have a problem if they bred and killed their own 'farmed' whales if it was carried out in as humane way as possible. But the heartless japs will never care to do that, they will continue to find cruel ways of sacrifice to help them find aphrodiziacs(sp) so they can continue to breed like dung flies.
I think people however get a little bit wound up over the 'use' of animals/fish/birds. Personally....eat what ya like, dog, cat, chicken, cows and even rats if it's your thing. Man is the leader of mammels, it's up to us to use our heads, and respect the sourse's we have, by that I mean....use them wisely, and protect their existance if necessary.

For the super pc brigade.......you do realize just how many calves are sacrificed each year just so you can have your cafe' latte don't you??? Yes they are at our disposal, and done correctly and respectfully as it is now,we will have our yummy latte's for years to come.

Some strange opinions in here,how can you possibly compare a domestic animal to a wild whale.

A wild animal is far more vulnerable than a domestic one. They would make great pets if they weren't so damn big.

Wow!!! Thats just a wee bit racist don't you think? Do you know any Japanese? They made my bike you know, and before you say you don't ride a Jap bike - your bike was made by guys on the same side in WWII albeit of a different colour.
OK - I think I will from now on just look at bike related threads.
Enjoy you arguements guys!

and all the other domestic animals were domesticated by aliens.................

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Its not just the Japaness yah know... What about many of the Scandinavian countries that eat whale meat... it just that the japeness have a b igger population.

However let me say this, I personally do not have anything against whale hunting, what I do have something against, like a few here and agree with is hunting to extinction (especially in this day and age) as well as people trying to change other cultures just because you disagree with what they believe do, and how they live, including what they eat.

enough from me.

After the RPG comment I was just waiting for someone to dig out the good old Bad Taste clip

Just about every domestic mammel has been domesticated by man.

Not just about - it kinda goes with the territory...

and all the other domestic animals were domesticated by aliens.................

You beat me to it...

Anyway - when was the last time a whale did anything for you?

Personally I don't have an opinion on the subject - I don't know what whale meat tastes like.

The Norwegians have decided to stop whaling, I think, because its not financially viable, the Japs do it, as much out of sheer cussedness, these days. Sales are falling in Japan, despite active promotion by the whaling organisation. They also harpoon any whale, regardless of species, if they think they can get away with it.Tests on whalemeat collected in Japanese shops, revealed, Blue, Finn & Humpback, as well as the species they said they were hunting. Over here, they're concerned about the Nips taking the White Humpback, which is rather rare and "belongs to the Abo's".....so the Aussie Gov. won't give a shit.

Personally, I've given up on complaining and bitching. When they've hunted the last whale in the ocean and the last fish in the sea (it can happen - they fished out the Newfoundland cod grounds) and they're fucked, and so is the rest of the populace, will I care???

Anyway - whale meat tastes like crap!

SAVE WHALES....EAT JAPS!!. I cant condone the killing of an endangered species,especially one with a I.Q in the region of ours. Yup, I eat meat but Im not hypocritical as I raise my own & do the deed myself with a bullet to the head.
I also work in the tourism industry & I can assure you that every Nip that walks in the door is going to "loose face" (jap term for being embarrased)...the 3 times that its happened this week other foreign tourists there either applauded or voiced agreement after my wee lecture.They might make good vehicles, but thats about it.Yes ,I will be selling my bike soon, cause I reckon youll struggle to sell them next year when the "Depression" kicks in....
As for the Greenies, you plonkers that blame them for everything got your heads up your asses,youre probably still clinging to the myth that Global Warmings a myth ,& that we'll still be drivin' our vehicles as we do now in 10 yrs time. You'll believe Govts & industrial mouthpieces over an organisation thats trying to save our planet? Wake the F@#k up & smell the pollution. Your a bunch of self centered, selfish twats & it'll be the likes of you that,ll be the reason we'll have to go thru the biggest threat to OUR species EVER instead of getting on with doin' something about it now....least thats my opinion .
