"killing the unborn babies is criminal".

Why? It's OK to kill unborn human babies. The anti-whalers are the sort who would be the first to tell you that.

The Japanese are hypocrites on this, where is the so called scientific research the clowns went on about for years. There is no human need that requires the killing of whales, full stop. Its more about Japan acting politically to tell the rest of the world "you wont tell us what to do." There is hundreds of tonnes of processed whale meat sitting unsold, due to very low demand, in commercial freezers in Japan, young Japanese in particular will not eat whale meat. So what are they doing it for?

runner, the uninitiated might think by reading your comment that you are against abortion because we don't eat them. if we did would it make a difference?

ttbn, you know very well I don't support 'abortion on demand'. Its unfair to try and link anti-whaling to pro abortion. Would you say the same about those that kill sheep and cattle etc.
BTW, your great white hope, Corny Banana deregistered the Australian Conservative Party, and you thought it would be the salvation of Australia. Yep the one you claimed to be a member of, did they give you a refund?

Well it did not take long, read the last two posts
Like SR thought this thread maybe be loaded
But gave an honest answer
YES I would like to see us stop killing whales
But as a beach fisherman have killed about 30 Jewfish, hundreds of Tailor, Bream, Mullet, and Lizards
Eaten every one
They are fishing in their own waters, and do we have the right to tell them they can not?
IF no one kills whales, will a day come when their population will outgrow their food supply

Hi Belly, I would say this move is more political than wanting to feed some whale starved Japanese. Issy will be familiar with his mate The Shooters and Hooters MP Bob Ballsup, who trek'd off to Africa to shoot an elephant. Ballsup then claimed he ate the elephant, feeling peckish no doubt, all two tons of him, what he didn't eat on the spot, he took home in his Esky for sangers later! This is the mentality of these guys.

Paul,

Can't help it can you, like runner you have to push your trolley at every opportunity.

Steele,

It's a genuine question, I think that the whales should be left alone, no one needs to eat them and whale oil long ago became redundant with the widespread use of electricity.

I do wonder though at their supposed level of intelligence.

Paul yes aware they no longer eat any thing like they once did when it comes to whales
And yes Japan is moving in a different direction, no longer anti war
Its leader wants some glory even if it is mixed with blood
