Will Migaloo be hunted?
Migaloo the Albino humpback whale could very well be on Japan’s hunt list this year. As I’ve pointed out many times before, I’m having a hard time getting my head around the Japanese mentality of their so called “scientific whaling” program.
This year the Japanese whale poaching fleet will hunt almost 1000 whales. Among these 1000 whales will be 50 humpbacks. Migaloo is a humpback, a very rare humpback. When the Japan Fisheries Agency was asked if Migaloo and other white whales were on the hunted list, they replied with a “no comment.” As we all know nowadays, “no comment” usually means “we did, and we don’t want to talk about it, so piss off.”
One of four things can happen during this year’s whaling hunt. The first one being the best outcome.
1. Japan renounces all whaling activities, and finally adheres to international law.
2. Japan still continues to illegally hunt whales, but publicly announces that Migaloo, along with other rare whales will be spared from their harpoons
3. Japan continues its hunt and risks reprisals from the international community.
4. Japan hunts, and kills Migaloo and suffers the risks and consequences of reprisals from so called “eco-terrorists.”
Japan must stop their illegal whaling activities. It’s time for them to wake up and realize that one day very soon there won’t be any whales left. And what will all of their “scientific whaling” data have proven then?
