Good.

[PluggyRug]

'bout time.

They finally figured it out when they saw Whale soup on the menus.

[ShepherdsDog]

well that certainly was a 'No Shit Sherlock' moment!

[Jabberwalker]

So....




Greenpeace was right to buzz those whalers all along? ... in spite of all of that Japanese brubbering?

[Gunnair]

Yes they were.

[Thanos]

Greenpeace was always right on this issue. It would have been nice to see these animals survive for another several generations of humans to study and appreciate but odds are the majority of them are going to be gone in the next fifty years, thanks almost entirely to the activities of the Japanese, Norweigans, and Icelanders. Toss in the never-ending dumping of industrial toxic pollution that's turning the oceans into swill and the disappearance of most life in the sea is a certainty within the century.

This is why humans shouldn't ever be allowed out into deep space. We're going to ravage and murder everything out there that we find as much as we've already done to the other lifeforms on this world. That's as much another certainty as the sun rising in the east always will be. Why worry about the chimera of global warming destroying everything when the old-fashioned forms of annihilation like overfishing, overhunting, and uninhibited dumping of poisonous waste into both salt- and fresh-water bodies and streams remains so popular?

Na... the Borg will be here before that happens.

Wax poetic much? They hunt Minck whales, otherwise called the cockroaches of the sea. Estimated population between the northern and southern oceans: 600,000.
Females calve, on average, every two years. Between Norway, Iceland and Japan, they take fewer than 2000 animals every year.
Those are hardly the numbers organizations like Greenpeace like to scare you with.
And finally, the world court has no authourity on this matter as there are ZERO laws against whaling except those species that are endangered or were going extinct.

[stratos]

As you pay more and more for gas just keep reminding yourself that it is all to save the life of a whale. So no bitching about gas prices for any reason.

I thought that we were the cockroaches of the sea.
