what they do is 100% illegal. there is nothing to debate. the japanese are under no obligation to accept australia's annexation of international waters especially since most of teh world doesnt. i do not understand how they could possibly get away with televising the committing of crimes and get away with it.

My thoughts exactly. What's preventing the Japanise whalers from mounting and firing torpedo launchers if the anti-whalers can do this? |

by the way...people...please dont make this thread about the whales...it's not. it's about the legality of what they do, as i understand it.

Anyway, I think the show is on tv cuz...well free speech I guess...but the IWC needs to do something, not allow that, but do something. Right now it's bad all around. I tend to forgive the anti-whalers because I tend to side with them on the morals battle, but they are clearly doing illegal things. I find the show quite interesting though, mostly because I like drama. |

I agree that it is 100% illegal, and should definitely not be doing it, they should spend their time trying to get the IWC to do something. |

why? why should people be doing something about it? who cares? why not stop all fishing activities all over the world? besides...one of teh basic premises of the show is that the japanese are claiming the whales are for scientific research, the hosts of teh show claim theyre lying. something they never prove.

OMG... I am NOT having this conversation. I've already had it with Asher. I never have much intelligent knowledge to add to any subject. And I am such a bad debtor that anything i support always "loses".
Debate: Whether or not the Earth is a sphere.
Carter: It is.
Final decision: The Earth is an icosahedron.
Which is why I will not be participating in this debate.

In one episode they found a long line, which is a line of barbed rope that goes from the ocean floor to the surface, catching anything that hits it. It is illegal to do that, and stuff like that needs to be stopped. And as for the Japanese. the IWC and the government of Japan could investigate it. But no, because it makes money. And thats what its all about, money. We make money by killing whales, or we make money by not spending it investigating things that should be investigated. You know how everyone is all gung ho about saving the environment? Well it wont happen till people in charge do something. And what scientific research could you be doing, when you need many whales every single year? |

would you end all fishing worldwide? No, fishing for fish, tuna, trout, salmon, is perfectly fine. Fishing for whales, which is illegal, I say no. So because people can hunt deer, that means we can let them hunt elephants? |

Some elephants are endangered. Killing an animal if you are going to use all of the animal is fine. But killing an animal for certain parts(Ivory) is not. Killing for fun isnt either. If you sit in a tree and shoot anything that moves isnt right. If you hunt something thats LEGAL to hunt, and you use your skills wisely, AND you use the animal, then I believe its fine. |

Using skills? Then why the fuck me invented guns for? And its not like we go after animals with tanks and predators (that would be fun BTW). I'm just trolling of course, I know what you are talking about. |
