Well its the summer now and its pretty much whale hunting season and recently the whole issue of limiting that kind of hunting has blown over. Countries like Japan and Norway still kill whales by the thousands for both commerical use and "scientific" use.

I just watched a discussion on BBC and its sad to see how ridiculously stupid people get when trying to proctect a destructive billion dollar industry. Basically Japan currently kills around 2,000 whales yearly for "scientific" purposes. Of course that's thorough bullshit.

Although I do recognize their right to hunt whales, the whaling community seems to think that conservation is too restricting. Whale population levels are no where near their original levels yet they seem to think its okay to resume hunting breeding areas. Why people just refuse to understand the implications of wiping off any kind of wildlife is so frustrating.

why do japan need 2000 whales a year for scientific purposes? Are they making a museum or something?

Whales eat plankton, plankton produces a third of the worlds oxygen. We cut down trees and kill whales, it all balances out nicely.

Glad I haven't been harpooned yet. :rolleyes:



But in all seriousness. I think that's wrong but a lot of things in the world are, you can't tell people anything. You have to let them fuck up and then they realize their errors. So basically, they have to kill all the whales but like 2 to figure out that what they are doing is idiotic.

No. That is not what I'm saying at all. Not a virgin, been with two ppl.

I was making the joke that I'm a whale, cause it seems to be so funny around here, and I have no problem playing around about it either.

theres probly heaps of whales in the oceans anyway. 65% of the earth is ocean and very little has been explored for economically viable resources anyway

nineball, whales take a long time to reach maturity, and a shitload of them have been killed for food/other crap since japan found that whale fat is better than KY and that whale shit can make designer perfume.

I think they're gonna be endangered sooner or later.

I think they'll become too expensive before they get endangered, with all the lobby groups, excises etc
