Japanese Whaling 2011-2012. Greenpeace inaccuracies. Sea Shepherd action. Video

Japanese Whaling uses $30 million of the Tsunami relief fund to try and kill more whales in the Antarctic Southern Ocean, which is supposed to be a designated whale sanctuary, according to the IWC (International Wankers Commission). Which century is Greenpeace's John Frizell living in? He also said the whalers left the Southern Ocean early last year with as low as 450 whales. They only reached 17% of their self imposed quota...170 whales. Thanks to the only conservation charity that takes on the criminal poachers where it counts..in the hostile Southern Oceans, and that is Sea Shepherd. I'm glad I stopped my Greenpeace subscription.

How much money do you raise to save whales Greenpeace?

THANK YOU ALJAZEERA FOR COVERING WHALING AND FOR SHOWING THE ONLY ORGANISATION TAKING ACTION AGAINST THE POACHERS. Thanks also for all the reports you do about environmental issues. You stand out from main stream media. MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE. Tim

I feel guilty that ...
I feel guilty that i think like this about Japan; It's a fascinating country and I like how it is very unique, but this is just sad. Not that I dislike Japanese people in general, but the situation is? just absurd. I'm also not saying Japan is the only country where I see these things. But it's not my fault I feel/think what I feel/think about this situation, it's theirs because they do what they do and that isn't what I do.

I do not trust ...
I do not trust these anymore; how dumb do they think the entire weirdo-powered world is to believe this is done for "research"; childish immature weak lying. I can not trust this entire situation; I would really not be surprised at all if they dumped nuclear waste in the south pole, and I am not lying (no, I, am not) that I really believe this is possible. Italian? Mafia did the same for their government in the Mediterranean; why wouldn't Japanese Mafia do this then? Scary reality possibility.

The international ...
The international whaling commission is responsible for this tragedy, how can they allow this to go on?? They could use the funding to train these whalers to become farmers. Who are they kidding, there are alway's alternatives.

I personally am not ...
I personally am not a fan of green peace because they did not say that sea shepherd drove them? out. He did not tell the media that sea shepherd is the main cause behind the whole lowering their catch!!

@berenisse1000 I ...
@berenisse1000 I can't find ur last comment here but I found it incredibly racist. First off, you condemn all Japanese b/c a few eat and hunt whales. U value whale life more than human life and I find that disgusting. Poor Africans hunt gorilla b/c they? have no other option but to eat them. I wish the world was different. Humans are omnivores, most ppl eat meat. As I said, minke whales are safe to hunt. Yeah most ppl arent like me, b/c they cant see past their own cultures' biases

Part 3 As for the ...
Part 3 As for the fashion industry. Typically fur comes from? mink farms...I thought you were against hunting "wild animals"-we breed mink for their fur-what is so wrong about that? We kill cows for leather, it seems strange that hairy animal skin is so bad, but leathery skin is A-OK. Another case of people eating their hypocrite pie. As long as the Japanese, Norwegians, Inuits, etc do responsible whale hunting, I could care less.

Part 2 As? for the ...
Part 2 As? for the J. whale hunt, they overwhelmingly hunt minke whale which is considered a "Least Concern" species. So unless you equate all whales equally, which would be ridiculous-you must admit that you are only viewing this from your cultural bias. As for the other reductions in biodiversity that you mentioned, I would completely agree with you. Some of which is done to provide land for cattle farming (rainforest depletion). So where are the anti-beef protests?

Part 1 I appreciate ...
Part 1 I appreciate the well thought out response. But you missed my argument, and here's why. First off, where did you get the 90% figure? It is so hard to measure sea life. As for wild animals, we fish all the time.? I guess you've never had salmon. As for fish farms, those fish need other fish for food which are also caught.

what are you ...
what are you talking about? You're argument is ridiculous. All Im saying is that what we eat is cultural. If Indians ruled the world, they would say no one should eat cows. If Jews ran the world, they would ban pork. This is very far removed from advocating cannibalism. You can't look past your own cultural feeling of? superiority. Your last sentence was completely unintelligible, so I can't respond to that.

@tomatodamashi Part 9 of 9 What I find incomprehensible and totally indefensible is the continued exploitation of animals, any animals, mainly for the whims of the fashion industry or so called traditional medicine, or cultural rights, the exponential growth of meat consumption or even worse,? despicable 'trophy hunting'. Will we ever shake off the shackles of insanity?

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part 8 of 9 even the Ivory trade is still thriving and they are just the glamorous species. And now Sharks are being plundered in their millions, just for a bowl of tasteless soup, and they've been around 400 million years. For that they deserve admiration, not decimation. Habitat destruction unfortunately wipes out species across all biomes. The sooner we realise that Homo sapiens do not own the domain of planet Earth, the better off the rest of life on? Earth will be.

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part 7 of 9 External to this grotesque economic system that puts zero value on Mother Nature, services carried out by all ecosystems, in every biome, in? the one priceless biosphere that ALL life has to live. Yet even in the last fifty years a huge number of animals have perished at the hands of humanity, other Tigers, Lions, Leopards, 90% of the largest fish, Tibetan Antelope, all kinds of Bears, Elephants, Hippos, Turtles, Pangolins,

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part 6 of 9 The impacts are accelerating humanity at an alarming pace to a point of uninhabitable ghastliness. And yet the majority are wallowing in a self-imposed denial when all of the consequences of this sadistic exploitation and violence? are rapidly charging the dominant culture to self-annihilation. But the deluded fantasies of limitless growth, production and consumption, completely conceals the destructive damage that are externalities.

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part? 5 of 9 They are all extinct, gone forever. It is shameful that we can be so reckless, so ignorant of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all life on Earth. It is an absolute tragedy that the majority are so indifferent to the 200 species going extinct every day, mostly through habitat destruction and utterly unsustainable avarice.

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part 4? of 9 What happened to the billions of Passenger Pigeons, almost as many Eskimo Curlews, the millions of Great Auks, the Stellars Sea Cow, the Thylacine, the Pink Footed Bandicoot, the Caspian, Balinese and Javanese Tigers, and recently the Yangtze River Dolphin, the unfortunate Dodo and thousands of other birds and species?

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part 3 of 9 who have the evolutionary right to exist in their environment. The gap in nature is colossal, tragically, and that is just in the last 500 years. In those years, humans have been responsible for the biggest slaughter of animals in a miniscule snippet of geological time,? and in all of biological life, not through necessity, but through the pure greed of a minority. How many species are no longer with us, other than stuffed specimens in museums?

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part 2 of 9 Whales have been hunted mercilessly over the last 200 years or so. When any species has plummeted by 90%, 95%,96% or 99%? surely we have a moral duty to protect the numbers that do remain, and help them to recover. Failing to do so is a damning indictment of our species, of our cultures, arrogance and indifference, and an utter betrayal of future generations, who won't have the joy of witnessing the intelligence and majesty of other animals,

@tomatodamashi ...
@tomatodamashi Part 1 of 9 There is a monumental difference between cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and whales...the whales are wild animals, the rest are domesticated animals and yes your right they are mostly treated disgracefully in intensive farming. That has to be confronted too, as it's an inefficient way of producing food, wasting far too much water, using too much land and grains. Grains which should be feeding people directly NOT livestock and vehicles? (biofuels).

so pig=whale, cow= ...
so pig=whale, cow=whale ,? then human=whale....hmmmm more humans than all sea mammals combined.....nice so then we can kill humans to save whales right??? .......sooooo telrrrr me, u tink bout eating wwwhhhhale penis awrot?

And how does your ...
And how does your culture treat cows, pigs, chickens, etc. Not very politely I imagine. What a silly argument you are making. How do you feel about killing kangaroos? Australians kill them all the time. I guess Australians are impolite to kangaroos. As for nature, many countries are raping the rain forests to provide room for cattle. Finally,? you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. ALL OF THEM dont eat whales, etc Cultures in glass houses...

cont'd All you have ...
cont'd All you have is my culture says it's wrong, and I won't accept another cultures opinion. I? guess you should hope that when India become a superpower, they won't try to force the rest of the world to abandon beef production. Of course, if that happened, I sure would enjoy the irony.

Neither. You know ...
Neither. You know when someone doesn't have a cogent argument or enough braincells to rub together, that's when all they can dish out is a lame character assassination or insult. "Haha you're retarted" Well at least I can spell. The fact of? the matter is, if the argument is "these animals are endangered" I say, look up the facts, minke whale is labelled "Least concern" point blown. "they are intelligent" Pigs are quite intelligent.

? are you stupid or ...
? are you stupid or just retarted

ok, but Japan is ...
ok, but Japan is reconstructed?

ALL OF THEM EAT? ...
ALL OF THEM EAT? WHALES ,DOLPHINS AND ALIVE OCTUPUS ETC......ARE THEY KIND AND POLITE?? REALLY??? THEY MAY BE WITH PEOPLE.. BUT NOT WITH NATURE NOR ANIMALS....

"The catch then ...
"The catch then plummeted down to 800 and was as low as 450 last year after they? basically left the Southern Ocean early" - Greenpeace, feel free to say Thank You to the Sea Shepherd Organisation.

Doesn't anyone find ...
Doesn't anyone find it ironic that greenpeace is so against the hunt of mostly minke whales (which are considered least concern-the same as cows), and? yet are okay with the slaughter of cows and chickens. I'm sorry but this is just a case of cultural absolutism, meaning 'MY culture says it's wrong, so everyone else MUST believe the same as me, or they're wrong too'. I'm sorry, but how can you ignore the slaughter of farm animals on one hand and blame the whale hunt on the other?

Greenpeace have ...
Greenpeace have been running the Antony Hopkins TV ad in NZ almost every year asking for people to donate money to Greenpeace to stop Whaling in Antarctica. Saying.."Greenpeace are on the front lines this year" And showing footage from 6 years ago. I guess Greenpeaces front line must be on the couch drinking a beer. You can watch the ad here if you type.. Antony Hopkins Whaling......Really disgraceful to ask people for money? like that and do bugger all

Id love to hear ...
Id love to hear what they are doing to stop the Whaling this year..oh thats right Greenpeace is working in Japan now. Tell that to all those people in Taiji who never see a single Greenpeace member there. It must be to far for them to drive huh.How about the? larges slaughter of baby Marine mammals in the world off the coast of Canada..Never see a single Greenpeace member. Dont talk about Climate change if you cant fix the small things like Whaling.

They do? more than ...
They do? more than just sit arround.
