Japan Whaling Suspension From Sea Shepherd Harassment Not Good Enough For Conservationists - 0 views

  •  
    Victory? Do you think Japan will stick to their word?? We'll be talking about whaling tomorrow.
  •  
    "The whale hunts, which Japan says are for scientific purposes, are allowed by the International Whaling Commission as an exception to the 1986 ban, but opponents say they are a cover for commercial whaling because whale meat not used for study is sold for consumption in Japan." What (if any) scientific studies have been done? Why does it require hunting the whales?

    Horrifying images of the killing of pilot whales (members of the dolphin family) in Denmark- as discussed in todays presentation on poaching

    This practice is considered a part of their culture, does that justify the killing of the pilot whales? Or should age old customs (such as this) be banned? Who has the right to make such a decision?
