Question

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

YES the japanese navy would kick the royal navys a**

Answer 3

Yes, YES, YES, YES .....................when I saw the news last night I wish I had a massive naval destroyer to protect those poor whales with! What chance do they have.

Answer 4

I'm not an advocate of anyone going to extreme measures to enforce (no matter how right, just and humane) an act on another  society.

In this case though I'm sick of the arrogance and disregard Japan displays to the world (be it historical revisionism in the atrocities they committed in WWII or whaling) that I think heavy handed measures should be taken.

I'd be thrilled to see the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy intercept these whaling ships, order the crews off, haul them into U.S. or British ports and scrap them.

The last link below is a great resource on how to boycott Japan.

Answer 5

what and have all those wooden ships harm the humpback whales

Answer 6

Absolutely not. We used to hunt whales in their thousands as the Japanese do so now, - if they become extinct then it will naturally stop. - anybody/anything suffering through a lack of dodos?

Answer 7

Sod 'em. Leave the Welsh to themselves.

Answer 8

I once wrote in a Chinese forum about this barbaric practice by Japan. One Japanese gave me the following ignorant and stupid message.

" Our brave Japanese whalers are heroes for hunting Whales"

Have you ever heard such nonsense? The technology involved

is so sophisticated that once the whale is traced it has 0% chance of escape from the killers. The whale must breathe and it must come to the surface, the whaling ship is faster than any whale.

Honestly I am sick to death of them, at least I can boycott Japanese goods

EMT-B, don't kid yourself see:
