I'll eat a spotted owl or own a redwood deck & leather pants if I feel like it. HOWEVER..
.COWS & CHICKENS DONT START TO BREED WHEN THEIR 30+YRSOLD
COWS AND CHICKENS DONT LIVE TO BE 150 YEARS OLD EITHER.
NO ONES OUT LOOKIN TO SEE IF THEY'RE TAKING FROM THE BREEDING STOCK, MALE OR FEMALE OR YOUNGSTER.
THEY JUST TAKE AND TAKE CUZ SOME A-HOLE WITH MONEY WILL BUY FANCY WHALE MEAT. ITS FRIVOLOUS !!! AND TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!!! STUDY
THE WHALE IN ITS HABITAT OR WHEN ONE WASHES UP.
WHEN HUNTING ELK, YOU HUNT BUCKS WITH HORNS.
WHALES DONT HAVE HORNS, JUST BLOWHOLES.
SO NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEYVE GOT UNTIL ITS ALREADY SPEARED IN AN AGONIZING DEATH IN FRONT OF WHOLE FAMILY PODS.(LIKE A WOLF PACK)
BUT SINCE YOURE JUST AN AVERAGE JOE USING YOUR BLOWHOLE FOR NO GOOD
REASON EXCEPT YOUR EVIL SELFISHNESS & THOUGHTLESSNESS..AND IGNORANCE.
I'LL USE MY BLOWHOLE POWERS FOR FOR A DAMN GOOD REASON..& IF THE JAPENESE NEED MORE MEAT, THE SHOULD HUNT A-HOLES LIKE YOURSELF & HAVE A PLEASANT DAY .....OH YEA, IF YOU CAN COME UP WITH A WAY TO "FARM" WHALES JUST LIKE CHICKENS & COWS, JAPENESE WILL PAY YOU MILLIONS & I'LL EAT CROW..

What's the difference between whales and cattle absolutely nothing. I hope Japan continues the responsible hunting of a overpopulated species and it would be nice to see more countries getting involved hunting whales. Besides whales are mindless animals put on this earth to feed us just like chickens and cattle.

Japan and all countries that are operating lethal whaling operations should be stopped. Terming operations as scientific research does not make it so. Japan wants to kill whales that is it plain and simple. Our whole world should be much more committed to stopping acts of violence and destruction towards people, animals, and our environment. Our oceans, climate, and ecosystems and in danger. It is everyone's responsibility to act ethically and to grow in emotional intelligence. 8000 years ago children and adults also could be used as slaves. It was okay to beat your wife. Women had no rights. Every militarily superior country could go on rampages take what they wanted if they had the might. I would hope that we would have matured a little in 8000 years. Chris, Japan and you obviously have not! I would suggest some reading for you and Japan to grow, mature and come into the 21 century as responsible adults.

Get the word out.
Email all the college kids in the world and get them involved.
Write a lot of stories in all newspaper to get attention.
Try some kind of boycott- dont trade with them- dont buy their cars or products.
It will be hard to stop a large corporation that makes money by being in the business to harvest whales what should they do,.
If you take some thing from them what do we give them back ???
Good luck.

Please have other groups help stop the killing of our WHALES.
The Sea Shepard cant do it alone.
The process is not working.
Need faster ships.
Have the helicopters drop stuff on the whaling ships.
Drop nets on the harpoons.
But all this is not working.
Find a real end to this.
The Whales need to be protected.
The problem with throwing acid on the caputured whales to prevent sale to make money is that they will have to kill more whales to make up the loss.
Ask President Obama to help and get the rest of the world to help.
This whales are growing up and have the right to live.
Make some statements on TV shows, CNN - Today Show- 60 minutes,
show some bloody photos on line and in some national magazines .
Good luck.

Yes, the Japanese should use machine guns instead of water cannons to fight back the so called conservations who whan to stop 8000 years of tradition and food source for Japan. Mybe shty should use 105mm cannons instad of machineguns. I would like to see some of thoes so called concerned people who like to stop killing whales but let people get killed in Dafor and other places like that. I wonder why they chose whales instead of saving pepole, maybe because they might actully get killed for a good and just cause insted of taking pictures against people who been whaling for over 8000 years.

The deliberate attack on whales by any nation using the giuess of research.Should have the ships siezed and sold for scrap.Remember R/V FArley Mowat . Which the CAnadian government siezed illegally in international waters.Then sold at auction for C500,000.The canadian government needs to turn over the ice breaker they used to illegally sieze the Farley Mowat as well as return the Farley Mowat to shepard fondation.
Anytime a JApanese ship enters a port Picket the ship to make it leave we don't need or want anything from countries that knowingly support the illegal killing of whales.

The Japanese need to aim that harpoon straight into the bridge impaling the captain. Then use the .308 and finish off the rest of the crew. Sink that inappropriatly named ship to the bottom of the ocean.
Tell your girls to shave their armpits, its just disgusting.

I thought the Japanese were supposed to be spiritual and believe in re-incarnation!!! If so they could be killin their grandparents! I hope they all Rot, or better yet are slaughtered in HELL! Charma baby,its not only in the next life time,I hope the Japanese ship workers dont have any children they might be harpooned and left to gasp their dying breathe! Im AMERICAN an EYE for an EYE!!!!!!

Sea Shepard is a NON-VIOLENT organization against the illegal Japanese whaling. The Japanese are at fault too for letting this go on. The government is greedy and corrupt. The customs are old and out-dated
