To end all (whale) wars

Post by I-AM »

Wow. Sea Shepherd are going to build their own superboat capable of catching and engaging any whaling vessel. I guess she will be a very fast ship with ice-breaking capability.

They are showing a re-run of Whale Wars on Discovery these days. I am glued to the screen... :hithere

There may not be any.

Japan has lost before the International Court of Justice. They were told their "research" was no research. So they had to interrupt their whaling and may not be returning to the southern ocean at all.

I agree...very disgusting!!! How can you even begin to describe killing, cutting up and selling whale meat as scientific research? Well I'm up for a fight...how about you? Come on Sea Sheppard... we're behind you! Those guys and gals are my heros... real heroes putting their lives on the line for others and in this instance, others are our fellow Whale creatures...
Is there anything we can boycott to protest the situation?
