Posted By Max - Fri, Dec 11 2009 at 7:38 PM ESTJapan, Japan. Why so difficult?
Here we go again. As someone else posted, this cannot become "us" against "them" ... meaning the Japanese. The information about whale slaughters and the toxicity of whale meat in general must be disseminated to the Japanese people. If the demand for whale meat goes away. so does the slaughter. But Japan is always intent on doing what they want to do, no one can say otherwise. Well this is a global issue. They do not own the whale species, therefore all they're arguments about intrusion or.... More

Another way to challange whaling in addition ot safety of whale meat is to show the values system of the researchers.
Scientific accounting fraud Who are the scientist doing this research?
They should be interviewed to show people the values they are using as scientist. In that they are killing 100 % of their research subjects. What university did they go to ? Is this the techniques promoted by the universities they studied at? Are there any other research schools that promote.... More

Carole, there are two main things that will put a serious hurt on them.
1) Have the IWC stop granting permits for lethal research. These permits make their actions legal as far as Interpol and most countries are concerned.
2) Not too many people know that the IWC *requires* whale carcasses obtained from lethal research to be 'not wasted'; this means the meat is to be consumed. Because of this, the meat sold in supermarkets is actually the IWC's fault. All that has to be done is.... More

As I understand it, Greenpeace has no ship in Japan or in the Southern Ocean this year as it is instead focusing on the whale meat embezzlement scandal. This court case along with the campaigning GP has been doing in Japan on the economics of whaling appears to be working better than chasing the fleet in ships, particularly in light of the election promises made by Hatoyama, as you mentioned.
The fisheries agency has confirmed that it will be targeting 850 minke and 50 fin whales, but.... More
