Hypocrisy: People profiting from whaling problem Have you noticed YouTube has messed up the order of the comments? Makes the conversation thread very difficult to follow - which is a pity because I think we were having a great exploration of the issues. Thanks for your input, 5969ddff, I appreciate the time you've given here thus far. (2 weeks ago) |

The problem is that in many markets it is not possible to tell which whale meat you are buying - or indeed if its whale at all.
The Japanese government has itself issued public health advice to restrict the intake of whale and dolphin meat.
Dr. Cipriano also conclusively demonstrated through his genetic studies that protected whales - including humpbacks - were finding their way onto Japanese plates. Japan had previously denied this, claiming it was frozen meat from before the Moratorium. (3 weeks ago) |

We're not interested in getting into a discussion about Japan's wider role in human history, as it's completely irrelevant to the whaling issue (and my apologies if the comment was taken that way) - the point I was making was that Morishita-san deftly suggested that "western" countries were responsible for whale species being endangered. I simply wished to put this in its proper historical context, and point out that Japan hunted whales for oil to support its economy too. (3 weeks ago) |

Given that WDCS is against all whaling in whatever guise, I can't really comment on the relative merits of the RMP - it still results in the hunting of whales. (3 weeks ago) |

The reference to "western" countries implies a cultural or race schism which we believe misrepresents the case. Australia and New Zealand are not "western" countries, nor is China.
Given the populace of anti-whaling countries at the IWC, it would be fair to say that the majority of people worldwide do not support whaling. (3 weeks ago) |

Humpbacks: Roswell and calf off Cape Cod
Mon 21 Jan 2008 05:37:10 PST
This video was shot in the summer of 2007 aboard a commercial whale watch vessel out of Plymouth, MA. The two whales shown - a mother called "Roswell" and her as yet unnamed calf - came on a voluntary close-approach to the stationary vessel, thrilling spectators with...
