Japanese Whalers are just plain stupid, period
The so called “Institute of Cetacean Research”, Japan’s name given to their Commercial Whaling Fleet has reported that almost all of the mature female minke whales they killed in Antarctic waters last season were pregnant.
This, they claim using their twisted, distorted logic is “good news”, because it supports their argument that the population is strong enough to allow a return to commercial whaling.
They proudly proclaim that 91.6%, or 262 of the 286 mature minkes taken during the hunt last year, were pregnant.
“Almost all of the whales are becoming pregnant each year. This is good news. This is great. It shows that the Antarctic minke population is increasing rapidly,” the ICR’s Glenn Inwood said today.
Someone needs to smack these Japanese Whalers up side the head with an abacus and make them understand that the world sees through their thinly veiled smokescreen of “taking whales for science”, is just a cover for their commercial whaling practices. And also explain to the world how they figure the minke whale population is growing when almost 92% of the whales they destroyed in the name of “science” were pregnant?
Once again, I call on the Government of Australia to put an end to the Japanese “scientific whaling charade.”
