The irony of this situation is that the meat that they process from these slaughters are full of toxins and are not even healthy to eat. Same goes with Japanese whaling and their hunts under the guise of "Scientific Research". (See http://www.seashepherd.org) They are simply hiding in a weak law so they can continue their cultural way of whale meat eating. Paul Watson is a true soldier for the earth and should be commended for his dedication over the decades.
It comes down to this: We are not separate from the earth. We are indeed a part of this system and when we murder and rape the land of it's natural resources we are not taking from a separate ecosystem, we are limiting the future existence of many species including our own for the sake of a selfish unnecessary and unhealthy habit.
Blue whales are at the top of the food chain. Remember what my man Irons said, "A whale's heart is as big as a car." I just wish we treated them that way.
Holy shit. What the hell is that about?

A: Please watch the video carefully. There are some useful information in there too.
And that would be what? other than men slaughtering these peaceful creatures? This is not like Deer and Moose where "over population" is an issue. This is nothing but murder

I hope you realize that we're saying the same thing here.

completely agree. I had a pretty rocky childhood...my mom said when we would see dolphins on TV or live at the aquarium was really the only time I looked happy.

The Japanese fisheries agency has confirmed 266 minke whales were caught this season.
Anti-whaling activists have declared the abrupt end of Japan's whaling hunt this season as a victory.
Japan's fisheries agency says the country's whaling fleet was heading home after catching less than a third of its quota in the Antarctic.
Speaking from Tokyo, the fisheries agency revealed the fleet finished its hunt three days ago.
Sea Shepherd activist Paul Watson has told ABC News24 this morning that the whaling fleet's premature pullout is a victory and it is high time the Japanese whalers learnt their lesson.
"They decided to pack it in and head home," Mr Watson said.
"Is it a victory? Yes. We kept them running almost for the whole three months.
"It's not as good as last year when they only took 17 per cent [of their whaling quota], but we lost a vessel early."
The Japanese fisheries agency also confirmed the fleet caught 266 minke whales - less than 30 per cent of its quota.
The whalers also harpooned a single fin whale, despite having a quota of 50.
Despite receiving a special budget boost of $30 million to fend off the Sea Shepherd conservation group, the Japanese whalers were repeatedly obstructed by the activists.
Mr Watson also says that $30 million was taken from tsunami relief efforts and put into whaling efforts.
"It's caused a lot of outrage in Japan," he said.
"They also took us to court in the US with some of that money.
"We will return next year with four vessels and I'm sure we'll do a lot better. We will be there to protect the sanctuary."
The Federal Government says it welcomes Japan's decision to recall its whaling fleet from the Southern Ocean.
The Government says it remains opposed to commercial whaling, including Japan's so called "scientific" whaling program.
It says Australia will continue its efforts to achieve a permanent end to whaling through the International Court of Justice.

That being said, of course it makes me extremely sad the way some people treat animals/animal populations and that the ones who do it knowingly - whether it's sharks, dolphins, or whatever - are scum.
I watched the Cove and I cried (like I did in Sharkwater...)
For the record, I'm Japanese too.
many do not understand that infact humans do rape the earth. they pass this off as modern day hippy talk. with ted nugent currently being in the news many discussions have been fired up, some have been stopped, locked and shut down. yes, humans rape the good mother earth every single day. wake up, folks! happy days is done.

The plan, thought up by local residents of Taiji, would see black whales and dolphins caught in waters near the town and then released into the giant 70-acre marine park.
"We've never heard of such an attempt elsewhere," a Japanese Fisheries Agency official told the news agency.
Officials also say there would be the possibility of making the park a center for whale research and providing information to visitors about the Japanese whaling industry.
But the development of the marine park on a section of the cove infamous for its annual dolphin slaughter is not likely to pacify activists.
A town official, who declined to be named, told AFP by telephone that the town "is no way going to stop" its annual dolphin hunt, adding local residents see no contradiction in both watching and eating dolphins.
The cove is the scene of an annual slaughter when the fishermen of Taiji corral dolphins, select a few dozen for sale to aquariums and marine parks, and stab the rest to death for meat, turning the sea red.

ain't that the truth...kind of sad.
I always find it amazing that some people like hunters justify their actions by saying they're controlling the animal population. I know hunters and the more I'm around them the more I realize how horrible they are as humans.
It's not the hunting I don't like...it's the baiting and just sitting in a tree stand somewhere waiting for their prey that I don't like about hunters...but its legal...which is said...so I'm not sure people who hunt this way can really call themselves hunters.
The community I lived a few years back had/has a major crow problem in the winter...every ones solution was to hunt them...even though most experts suggested a bylaw requiring your garbage to be put to the road in a covered container. City council did not want to go there...it would inconvenience people.
Some hunters I know hunt coyotes because they have themselves and ignorant people believing that they are doing humans a favor by controlling the population...even though a lot of what I've read about coyotes is that its extremely rare that they interfere with human.
The human population is F***ING IGNORANT.

mmmmm... delicious cows.... maybe I'll have one for dinner.
Everyone knows dolphins are just gay sharks....
Relax I'm not being serious, just lightening the mood.
So you haven't seen the movie? Nobody is paying a lot of money to "walk with cows" or "roll with pigs" for an hour.
