I've tried them and I do not agree with your assessment of the taste.

Fish eggs, goose livers and frogs legs were things that haughty Euros tricked us colonials into eating while they laugh at us behind our backs.

Again to be fair, I havent heard of any endangered whales being harvested.

BartSimpson BartSimpson:

The Japanese and the Norwegians hunt whales only because there's a market demand for whale meat and the products they harvest from whales. It's not because of any actual need.

If anyone wants to argue that whale hunting is a-okay then I suppose allowing the Asians to decimate the shark population for shark-fin soup is okay. And letting them slaughter bears for their gall bladders is okay. And letting them slaughter rhinos for their horns is okay, too.

Nope. It was argued that the whales hunted by Japan are not endangered. And, I see a difference between hunting to eat the whole animal or just some little bit. We do allow bear hunting in BC, but not just for gall bladders. Hunting various species of shark that aren't endangered seems OK to me - but eat the whole fucking thing. Supposedly dogfish makes good fish and chips.

Endangered is irrelvant. Whales are protected by international treaty, endangered or not. Japan is a signatory to that treaty.

There is a loophole that Japan exploits, that says any whales taken for scientific research must not be 'wasted' but used for human consumption. Some people (like me) feel that if you sign a treaty designed to protect a species only to to flaunt the treaty (by doing no actual scientific research) that is reprehensible.

I too applaud Mr. Watson for actually doing something in line with his beliefs and not just sitting idly by.

Dr. C, that's sprinkled with propaganda BS, I'm afraid.

Let's not waste time mincing words.

IWC passed a resolution in 2006 to end the moratorium on whales.

Japan has been continuing their 'research' until that happens, as we are well past the resolutions enactment period.

Both sides are breaking the rules of this voluntary group, but I doubt that will go on much longer. The Japanese are probably getting a little sick and tired of the IWC's constant flip flops and may leave the IWC soon enough.

At that point, they will be free to whale however they please.

Now, if Japan was even remotely close to being the boogey man that some state they are, why have they not left the IWC to whale legally?

I can't fault Watson. Instead of talking about a situation, he went out and did something about it. He stands up for what he believes in. I have nothing but respect for this man,.
-J.

I can fault him if he hadn't gone on his little adventure Japan would have stopped their research years ago. It wasn't popular then and was coming to a halt on it's own due to economic pressure.

But that fat joker had to go and make a big deal out of it and pushed Japan into a situation of giving in and looking weak, subject to the demands of anyone willing to push them. Or keep up the whaling research to keep it's population happy and show the rest of the world they can't be pushed around.

If Watson had never done anything the Japanese would have stopped their research whaling years ago.

Watson is why the Japanese kill the Minke whales. Sea rabbits that they are. I have no tears for the Minke whale they are like harp seals, rabbits, or swallows.

Cetaceans are one of the most highly evolved mammalian orders on the planet, arguably exceeded only by humans. I may gut a Walleye, but I wouldn't slit a dolphins throat.

So much ignorance in so few words.

True although it is expected to hold your own group in high reguard. You could say humans have evolved into having those characteristics.

Tell yourself that.

Would you care to dive into a talk about evolution and how humans and whales are not anymore evolved than anything else? Or will you fall into what seems to be the standard for this forum and just throw down insults or maybe take some time for name calling while leaving the subject untouched?

Perhaps I used the wrong word for my thoughts.

Substitute "intelligent" for "evolved".
