1/4/2006: Japan vs Greenpeace

Yet another whale-related IotD? It IS. In this shot, Greenpeace is disrupting a Japanese whaling ship and the ship is responding in kind. Fascinating.

Greenpeace should retaliate with waterbaloons and supersoaker squirt guns. That'll teach em.

glatt · 01-04-2006, 01:55 PM

Cool shot. Greenpeace got what it was after here - a striking image that people will stop to look at.

I don't like the Japanese whalers. I had forgotten about them, but this image reminds me.

Reminding me more and more of MXC....

I bet those whales are caught for scientific purposes...They didn't learn anything from last years catch.

But hey,Greenpeace learned to screen off the driver.

He's right, the driver has plexiglass on 3 sides.

I've got a great shot of me mooning the Greenpeace boat "Rainbow Warrior" when it visited here.

I know, I need to get a life.

The Japanese also eat the entire fin from the sharks they kill. Dump the rest of the writhing creature overboard.

You are thinking of the Chinese, Japanese don’t generally eat shark or shark fin soup, unless they visit a Chinese restaurant!

The Japanese do however kill thousands of dolphins every year.

Yea and we probably consume more tuna in our sushi shops and grocery stores nationwide then anywhere else in the world. Not to mention for the last 50 or so years we put a heck of a lot of Mr. Charlie Tuna into cans for human and feline consumption as well as various forms of other animal feeds.

I think we should all stop worrying so much about countries like Japan and Norway or Greenland and their whaling fleets, ever wonder when you order Chilean Sea Bass at that favorite place if their fish was caught legally or by poachers exceeding any limits? Practice what you preach and don't postulate.

Some day it will be just like Solent Green, so many humans to dispose of, perhaps we will just consume the biproducts...
