Whales, how can we protect them from Japanese hunting?

Question

I will, thanks

Answer 1

The only thing that has worked so far is direct confrontation.  Donate to Greenpeace or the Sea Shepherd Society so they can keep blocking the whalers.

Answer 2

Lobby governments to refuse entry of Japanese ships into your ports.  You could lobby governments to put sanctions on Japan.  Similarly you could send money to the sea Sheppard who scare away whales with helicopters and the chase the boats.

Answer 3

Boycott all Japanese products.  Money talks.

Answer 4

We've banned them from our waters. Whales are scared in my culture. Guardians of the sea.

Those dickheads are off on another research expedition, HA!!!, what a load of crock!!. Their quota is to get 1500 humpbacks. Do we have that many?  We should wait til they in the middle of nowhere and sink their ship.

Answer 5

join Greenpeace

Answer 6

I think it's time we drop the economic hammer on Japan and boycott them across the board!

There is even a neat website (see link below) called "Boycott Japan" that has some detailed and interesting information on how to boycott products from Japan and get the anti-whaling message to these people.

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 world's navies intercept these whaling ships, order the crews off, haul them into ports and scrap them.

The stance that this is a "cultural" aspect of Japan's society is a joke. These are the same people that used s*x slaves for the army as late as WWII.
