I have asked and I have received an answer! They are idiots! How do I know this? Read on.

Japan wants Australia to help protect its whaling fleet from what it calls “environmental terrorism” as it kills humpbacks in the Southern Ocean this summer. Japan wants Australia to protect its whaling fleet during its illegal whale hunt! Right! Isn’t this the same as letting a convicted bank robber work at a bank? A convicted car thief work as a parking valet? A convicted shoplifter working as a store security guard? A convicted pedophile working at a children’s daycare? A convicted rapist working at a shelter for battered women?

It’s time for Japan to get a grip and realize they are alone in their illegal whale killing excursions every year. What happens in international waters to their fleet is their own responsibility. Maybe, just maybe they should realize that if their fleet stayed in port, they wouldn’t have to worry about what might happen on the high seas during their illegal “scientific whaling” expedition.

I am no way endorsing any type of “eco-terrorism,” but if you don’t do anything illegal, then what do you have to fear? Let’s make this perfectly clear. Japan’s whaling fleets are not on “scientific” missions. They are illegally poaching and killing whales for commercial purposes. Their “scientific” fleets are nothing more than floating meat processing boats. Their reasoning behind the processing of the poached whale blubber is to “fund” their scientific research.

Japan kills whales every year for commercial profit. This is an illegal activity, and should be treated as so. Help put an end to it here.

Tell Japan that enough is enough!

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?

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.”

Migaloo, the albino humpback whale has caused the Australian Defense Force to move future military exercises away from Queensland’s Shoalwater Bay area. Now that’s respect!

Migaloo has been spotted swimming towards Shoalwater Bay, and there are fears sonar equipment used in naval exercises could cause him, or other whales, to beach. For those of you that don’t know about Migaloo, he is the only documented white humpback whale in the world and he calls the waters around Australia and Antarctica his home.

The name Migaloo comes from the Australian Aboriginal word meaning “White Fellah.” He even has his own website, which can be seen here.

The Government of Australia has recognized this magnificent creature’s migratory path and is taking steps to not interfere with it, which should be applauded by all.

The International Whaling Commission banned commercial whaling in 1986. However commercial whaling still continues to this day under the guise of “scientific research.”
Its estimated that in the 20th century alone, two million whales have been killed.

This week the IWC meets in Alaska with pro-whaling nations, led by Japan who is determined to overturn the ban on commercial whaling.

Last year, Japanese whalers killed 853 Minke Whales, and 10 Fin Whales. This year they want to hunt Humpback Whales. All of this killing was of course for “scientific research.” What do the Japanese whalers do with the “scientific” specimens they kill? Well, they sell the meat of course to “fund the cost of the scientific expeditions.”

The whole world knows “scientific whaling” is a sham, a loophole in the Commission”s convention. So now all of a sudden, Japan is claiming that whale meat is a national delicacy. Hmmmm, sounds like a China/Shark Fin Soup delicacy thing happening.

The fight to protect the whales has become a political battle. The pro-whaling nations would need a 75% vote to overturn the ban. Japan has been working overtime to “buy” votes from countries to guarantee enough votes to overturn the ban. They’ve offered millions of dollars in fisheries grants to countries in Central and South America in exchange for their votes. Mongolia, for example, has suddenly proven to be a keen supporter of whaling, although it does not have a coastline!

Japan obviously does not have any problems stooping to such low levels in order to get it’s way. The oceans’ inhabitants are in serious trouble as long as Countries like Japan and China, just to name a few, continue to exploit them for “National Delicacy” reasons!
