Australians, why do you seem so anti-Japanese?

Question

Firstly. As a Japanese I am ashamed of my own country for hiding behind excuses like “scientific research” when in fact the whole world knows that it is mainly for whale cuisine. I can’t agree that the Japanese are fishing endangered whales (Japan and Australia’s claims are contradicting), but I am against Japan’s whaling practices. The slow deaths that the harpoons bring upon the whales are dreadful and IT’S NOT LIKE JAPAN’S RUNNING OUT OF MEAT.

On the other hand, I am also disgusted by Australia’s attempts to stop whaling. I see most of them as useless successions of sticking banners, blocking and invading ships, telling lies to the media and putting themselves into danger. I am particularly appalled with the incident where the Sea Shepherd crew invaded a Japanese whaling ship and stayed while eating tempura, and came out telling the whole world that they were abducted and detained. The Japanese are known to be polite people who treat strangers (even rude invaders) respectfully.

Answer 1

I think Australians are hypocrites there quite happy to eat anything else that comes out of the sea yet because some people like to eat big stupid whales they have a problem ? think  having s*x with sheep too often has scrambled their brains

Answer 2

I don't know about Australia's but pretty much the hole world hates them for the whale killings,allowing(encouraging)miles of drift netting.and not to mention the atrocities from WW 2 and not apologizing for the abuses of prisoners of war,to the forcing of "comfort woman"for there officers during the war

Answer 3

I really couldn't be bothered to read that.

Answer 4

I'm American and Japan/China p**s me off in a major way. They view eating endangered animals as ok so that they can pretend its making their p****r larger.

Those guys dive into the water to cut whales loose from harpoons all while being blasted by the so called "polite Japanese" with water cannons. Give some credit were credit is due.
