Dick's logic is correct, you cannot condemn whale killing in isolation. The only viable argument can come from the vegan community.
^ Thanks Iceman, first time we agree on anything (except we both like big boobies)...
If we are to be honest with ourselves as human beings, it's probably prudent that we all stop (or greatly reduce) our meat consumption - of all animals, great and small..
That's not going to happen in our lifetimes though... but the impact of farming animals for slaughter/meat is enormous on our planet.
I don't mean to sound like a hippie, this is not cool for my image lol
Oh, forgot to mention.. (just for the Jap haters) Japan is actually one of the most Eco-friendly countries on the planet.

Kangaroos ain't endangered, dogs ain't endangered, many monkey species ain't endangered.Originally Posted by NZdick1983
I fucking love eating lamb and beef, but if sheep or cows were on the endangered species list I would refrain from eating them and eat some other source of non-endangered meat. Fuck culture and tradition, I'd rather have an animal in existence and not eat it than continue to eat it and cause it to be driven to extinction.
Japanese whaling is almost on a par with Chink tiger penis eating and rhino horn ingesting on the stupid as fuck, pointless, scale.
What else would you seriously expect from a desperate Hollywood which does nothing but churn out sequels/remakes of films which were fucking shite in the first place?
"I know, we're running seriously short on ideas here guys, let's make a movie combining two already succesful franchises. We'll pit them against each other to cream every possible $$$ from the sad sack fanboy wankers who still actually give a fuck about the original franchises, before they realise it's all a load of utter bollocks we're churning out?
"I mean, "Batman vs Superman, who would win?", that's the type of shit these slovenly useless immature fucks argue with each other about, isn't it? They'll lap it up! Dumb cunts!"
Superman would crush him like a fookin' worm...
Good point, Khmen... although we can argue all day whether or not, whales are really an endangered species... I concede it's better to err on the side of caution.Originally Posted by khmen
I really want to argue against eating dogs, but my hypocrisy bell will ring, so will shut up...
...NOOO, don't eat lassie!! *sorry, couldn't help myself... ding ding!
BB... hells yeah!!, Supes would squash bat like a bug... supes is a god, he can sunbath on the sun, unlimited strength and speed FFS...
Possums, rabbits, wild pigs and Skippy would all provide enough protein for us antipodeans without eating traditional beef, mutton pork and so on.
We won't have to turn to cannibalism.
^ Thank Christ, no one's eating Dick, on this board...
It's a Buffalo Board...Save the whales...And marry a buffalo...
^ Or save a buffalo and marry a whale.. whatever floats your boat..
If your claim is a fact, what is the problem?Originally Posted by kmart
Allegedly, nobody knows the numbers of whales, whether the population is growing or falling. Hence the % harvested every year may or may not be significant.Originally Posted by Chittychangchang
What if the "remaining whales" increase in number and size, due to eating Japanese irradiated sea food? The older empires have found new sources, cheaper, more accessible, so the "cuts" of whales for their industry have no commercial value. Hence the calling for the stopping of harvesting whales for any purpose by exceptional nations.Originally Posted by BaitongBoy
Allegedly both are eaten by humans. Many things around the world are eaten either through necessity or choice. Are you insisting only foods you agree with can be harvested? One would need a large gun to enforce your "exceptional" view.Originally Posted by BaitongBoy
One would believe the whales harvesters, the boat owners, the harpooner, the slicer uppers make a tidy profit, the wholesalers similar and the retail trade as well. One assumes the consumer is able to afford the meat. If not where is the meat going? Are you able to ensure your sanctions on one particular consumers will be enforcible? As the whales are presumably processed at sea, any waste is thrown overboard and consumed, with thanks, by fish, mammals or sea birds. Pretty environmentally clean, same with Kangaroos?Originally Posted by thaimeme
Probably nothing exceptional about whales just they look cute on wild life programs. They also squirt a little blood when delivering their cute babies. That gets the cat lover's vote.Originally Posted by NZdick1983
It's a pity nigejan left, he knew how industrial slaughter houses operated. All so the "acceptable" meat can arrive on your supermarket shelf wrapped in cling film devoid of any trace of blood or guts. Adorned with picturesque images of gambolling lambs, dozing ducks, strutting hens and grazing cows.
The little children can ask, "Mummy where does chicken come from" and mummy replies, "From the shop of course". Mummies clear conscience remains pure. Until senior school, when all the horrors of procreation are jabbed into little Jack and Jill's screaming minds. Is that when doubt about parent's truthiness start to simmer in children's brains?
Sontamslap, I'm still awaiting my kitten skin bound copy of your best selling novel. If the binding is difficult to source, a Great White Shark skin bound version would be acceptable.

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
"Them" being who, mate? The Norwegians? or Canucks?
Ahh that's better, I see you promptly switched pics.. those other fellers looked suspiciously non-Asian to me... that's better...
Yes, those fellers do look kinda Asian... I can almost see the evil glint in their slanty eyes from here (using my superior vision from my wide round blue eyes)
Japanese "nuclear accident" was a standard maintenance operation. Unfortunately the GE maintenance manual didn't' have either a "check the weather forecast" tick box, a "check you have enough cooling water in a secure and safe position" tick box or lastly a "if your are doing maintenance on a Saturday or Sunday (US Central Time Zone) a prompt response for assistance may be delayed" tick box.
Looks more like the Red Sea to me, so either the Egyptians or Israelis. As I said previously when mammals give birth, some blood is lost. It's a maternity ward for Dolphins.
Looks like mummy hasn't told you where baby Dolphins come from yet. Patience you'll learn one day.
Seen any footage of industrial slaughter houses in your own backyard, ever butchered a Kangaroo?
Of course, Japan is the #1 whaling nation in the world.. BUT.. they are followed closely by these nasty buggers too...
In 1993, Norway objected to IWC's whaling ban and continued their whale hunt operations. The number of whales that Norway allows itself to capture has risen steadily over the last decade, from 671 minke whales in 2002 to over 1,000 in 2013.
Iceland stopped whaling in 1989, but in 2003 it resumed scientific whaling and began commercial whaling in 2006. Its quota from IWC is 216 whales a year. In 2010, Icelandic whalers killed 148 endangered fin whales, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
Greenlandic Inuit whalers hunt and catch 175 whales every year, the third largest behind Japan and Norway. 160 whales are taken from the more densely populated west coast while around ten are taken from the east coast.
Whaling in Canada is predominantly carried out in small numbers by Inuit groups. Whale meat is sold in shops and supermarkets in northern Canada where it serves as a staple of the Inuit diet.
Whaling in the US involves nine indigenous Alaskan communities where the hunts catch 50 whales a year with a total whale population of 10,500.
Russians in the country's Far East are permitted by IWC to hunt for and catch up to 140 gray whales from the population every year.
Faroe Islands
Approximately 950 whales are caught in the summer annually in a hunt known as Grindadrap. The hunt is seen as an important aspect of Faroese culture and history.

And I've got cultural reasons for lighting big fires.
You still lighting your farts on fire bro?
Unfortunately building a nuclear reactor in an earthquake zone, and on the coast in a tsunami zone, wasn't the brightest of ideas.
Unfortunately you're just talking out of your arse again. Unfortunately you'll have to go to Youtube to watch it, but I hope you do.Looks more like the Red Sea to me, so either the Egyptians or Israelis.
