  • The inuits are a sovereign, but aren't a country.

    Secondly, whaling should only be allowed to those who "need" it for survival...

    meaning, not on an industrial level (compare the japanese to the inuits)

    For the Inuit people, whale meat is over 60% of their TOTAL food. Plus, they kill only 50 Bowheads per year. Inuits are Native Americans... not technically "America" (even if they some happen to be in Alaska)

  • @info145

    are you saying "American Inuits" are not American then? need for survival? on what based? A rich nation such as US can not send them food, is that what you are talking? I really think that is a double standard. If you are saying Japan shall not catch a whale in international water, I still understand, but Japan is "sovereign" country, and all of us need a job. and one takes whaling, then that is the way of survival for them.

  • @AlAlslord

    Step 1) Get a dictionary

    Step 2) Look up "sovereignty"

    Step 3) Apologize to me

  • @info145

    Whatever you said, the fact is US government allows those American Inuits to kill whales in US territory. They can not decide whatever their own, the fed. government controls. Makah is a good example, that the gov. does not allow them to hunt whales.

    And you said "only 50" bowheads, but bowhead is a way bigger than minke, about 10 times. Practically you are catching about half of our current quota. And of course we can argue the number of stocks.

  • @AlAlslord

    Not excuses. i don't believe in people starving and dying, that's why. Inuits WILL without whalemeat. Faroese and japanese will NOT starve and die! Trust me on that. Have some compassion for once. And how many times do i have to say it? The Inuits are an independent sovereign, a "First Nation", and NOT "Americans". i can only wish there were sufficient food alternatives for them. They also eat narwhal, and both are on a low scale

  • Also, the japanese use the old "racism gambit": Claiming the rest of the world is racist and they are not. Those foolish enough to believe it will think the japanese are the helpless victims under attack while they're whaling. Any robot minded drones of the world would then do their dirtywork for them. Everything the Sea Shepherds do is to bring attention to what happens in the Southern Ocean. The decent people of the world are against whaling. The Sea Shepherds are doing as THOSE people wish!

  • @info145 Then why do you Australian idiots only blame Japan for whaling when Canada and Russia whale too?

  • Germany quits whaling in 1939! U.S. quits whaling in 1940! Argentina quits whaling in 1960! U.K. quits whaling in 1963! Holland quits whaling in 1964! New Zealand quits whaling in 1964! Norway withdraws from the Antarctic Ocean in 1972! Canada quits whaling in 1973! South Africa quits whaling in 1975! Australia quits whaling in 1978! Brazil quits whaling in 1980! Chile quits whaling in 1983! Peru quits whaling in 1984! Spain quits whaling in 1985! U.S.S.R quits whaling in 1987!
  • @info145

    so? do we have to stop as well? We hunt whales for foods, the nations above hunt whales for oils. Simply you have "better" oil now, you quit does not mean we have to follow. There are plenty of stock we can use sustainable way.

    by the way, US, Canada and USSR (Russia) still hunt whales, FYI.

  • @AlAlslord

    Inuits don't count

  • @info145

    then don't count Japan neither.

    Or, mighty and greatest country in the world can decide everything, and Uncle Sam does not allow Japanese whaling, but kindly enough allow their people, Inuit, to hunt whales?

    that makes sense to me.

  • @AlAlslord

    Sorry, but you are indeed incorrect. Legally speaking, Inuits are not citizens of the United States. They're in the Canadian Northwest Territories, Denmark, Russia and yes some happen to be in Alaska. How can someone who lives in Canada, Greenland, Siberia and Alaska all be American? They are their own sovereign people! They are "separate" from those countries

  • What's so wrong about trying to save Whales and promote a healthier ecology anyway? You'd swear some of the people posting on YouTube WANT animals to suffer and want the food chain to collapse. All the creeps keep calling the Shepherds crazy for believing in something. Believing in helping and saving animals from suffering, instead of believing in nothing but money!

    Such indecency is staggering.

    They're NONviolent. If they used violence, the factory ship would be at the bottom!!!

  • we should have finished the job

  • fucken japs...

  • youtube.com/watch?v=TaZVfMdQR7­Q

  • Come on people you kill way more chicken than whales. Japan will stop eating whales when you stop eating chicken. Yep, chicken can go extinct too. Go Blue Peace!!! Stop the murdering of the chicken!!!

    PS. Didn't you kill the wolf from North America for you to settle? What about the thylacine from Australia? You hypocrite post-settlers!!!

    Send that greenpeace hypocrites to Canada to stop the killing of seals or to Africa where you kill for fun. Never seen 1 of those fuckers in either place.

  • @usermax100

    Only problem is that the number of chickens are artifically high due to the fact that we're farming them. Overfishing is a much more severe problems, since they're taking from the environment directly and depleting the numbers. Basically, everyone needs to stop eating marine life.

  • @usermax100 FACT CHICHENS ARE BREED FOR EATING, FACT WHALES AND DOLPHINS ARE FUCKING NOT. DIRTY JAPS STAB DOLPHINS TO DEATH WHEN IT IS ANOTHER KNOWN FACT DOLPHINS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SAVE PEOPLE. YYOU DIRTY JAPS WONT BE HAPPY UNTIL YOU HAVE WIPED OUT EVERY CREATURE IN THE SEA. I JUST HOPE ANOTHER TSUNAMI COMES AND WIPES U ALL OUT BEFORE U DO. ROT IN HELL.

  • Are the Japanese whaling crews going to study whales until they are all gone?

  • @arecuk1 they dont just study them they eat them

  • "Japan’s tsunami seems to have succeeded, where years of boycotts and protests & high-seas chases by Western environmentalists had failed, in knocking out a pillar of the nation’s whaling industry. Ayukawahama was one of only four communities in Japan that defiantly carried on whaling and eating whales as a part of the 'local culture', even as the rest of the nation loses interest in whale meat." japanprobe. com/2011/03/25/whaling-town-de­stroyed-by-tsunami/

  • i don't think anyone can complain about whale hunting until they have tried this delicious animal.

  • Research? The instant they pull a whale onboard, they carve the animal right up and box the parts! NO research being done!

    Research? The japanese don't have any scientists onboard. Those are all factory labourers wearing those helmets and coveralls

    Research? Then why are the whalers throwing the most important biological parts a scientist would do research on OVERBOARD immediately?

    Research? On a FACTORY SHIP? Wouldn't you need a science vessel for research?

  • STUPID JAPANESE FREAKS OF NATURE!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO MAD AT THOSE STUPID PEOPLE!!! They dont use meat for research they just have hearts built to kill!! They are so cruel and brainless! Think, over 50,000,000 pounds of whale meat was found in 2008 left to rot in many abandoned barns!!! They just kill!! Horrible freaks!!! We have to stop them!

  • @SheLoneWolf77 your comment is so true the japs do have hearts built to kill which means they dont own a heart.

  • Neptune’s voice rolled like thunder thru the sky.

    Angrily he smote the deep seabed floor.

    From the shore echoed mankind’s mournful cry.

    ……The sea rose up and struck fast for the shore.

    From out of the East with the rising sun.

    The seas fearful wrath burst upon the land.

    With little time to prepare or to run.

    Against a power no human can stand.

  • Japan's whaling fleet is under investigation: youtube.com/watch?v=6_ObsgifCm­c

  • Germany quits whaling in 1939 U.S. quits whaling in 1940 Argentin quits whaling in 1960 U.K. quits whaling in 1963 Holland quits whaling in 1964 New Zealand quits whaling in 1964 Norway withdraws from the Antarctic Ocean in 1972 Canada quits whaling in 1973 South Africa quits whaling in 1975 Australia quits whaling in 1978 Brazil quits whaling in 1980 Chile quits whaling in 1983 Peru quits whaling in 1984 Spain quits whaling in 1985 U.S.S.R quits whaling in 1987
  • lets go team japan!!!!whoooo

  • hmmm God created man,animals and this earth....Japan decides to kill out God's whales...God decides to hit Japan with an Earthquake hmmm

  • @wesblood007 Plus now, they're telling their public that the radiation is entirely cleared up after the tsunami damage to their nuclear reactors... and that the water is already safe to drink.

    (They want the world to think they're capable of miracles beyond what anyone else can produce, yet they can't do simple shit like breed chickens)

  • Europe stopped whaling? Norway, Iceland still does it my friend, but I guess they're white so it's ok

  • Japan Earthquake 311!! Japan Tsunami 311!! Karma is a bitch! Japan has been killing and eating cats, dogs, fish all the whales and putting them into almost extinction. Mother nature is pissed! Not saying that anyone has to die but she unleashed a sea of fire onto japan as a result of these merciless baby whale killings.

  • @amwaybootcamp Nope, mother nature is not a living thing that decides when to kill people.

  • @amwaybootcamp No need to nuke Japan anymore.

    They did it to themselves.

    i wouldn't want to be in Fuck-u-shima right about now.

  • "The last successful kill was on Feb. 9, according to observers. They report that because of Sea Shepherd efforts, the Japanese ships have only gotten in five or six days of hunting all season."

  • maybe they hired low IQ scientist for doing the research =D the dumb japs

  • "While Japan claims the hunt is purely for research purposes, they return to port with hundreds of tons of whale meat PACKAGED and ready for the country's commercial markets. This vividly shows Japan's determination to maintain a commercial whaling industry under the guise of science in an internationally protected sanctuary. (Antarctica, established through the efforts of U.S. Vice-President Gore). We can not allow them to continue to flout such international agreements." stopwhalingnow. com

  • @info145 The Europeans were into whaling for quite some time, do you believe that while Europeans were whaling they would have stopped just because Japan told them to?

  • @openblue07 No. But, YES for the reason they eventually DID stop.

  • @info145 cool so just leave the japanese to stop in their own time as well

  • @openblue07 Japanese greed won't allow it

  • @info145 The way the Europeans went round the planet claiming land they seemed more greedy than the Japanese. They still stopped tho.

  • Comment removed

  • @info145 i dont think Africa got much benefit from it, the Aboriginal people, Maori people, native americans all these people didnt seem to get much benefit

  • @openblue07 True. It doesn't always work. But the percentages are high in the successful

  • Destroying the Ocean's ecology has the potential to kill a whole lot more than 500,000. Personally i dont have a problem with people eating meat. Eating the meat of endangered species is a totally different issue (no matter from the ocean or the land). There are some that think nothing of completely wiping out whole species for profit. i have seen it first hand. Whales and tunas and sharks and even some common species have been targeted, and have taken HUGE losses.

  • There's a "loophole" in the international anti-whaling law. A country is allowed to kill some for science purposes, so the Japs are pretending they actually need NINE HUNDRED dead whales EACH YEAR for scientific research! This states two things: They're the most cold blooded subhumans on Earth concerning nature and/or Japan must have the absolute DUMBEST scientists ever! The instant they pull a whale onboard, you can see they carve the animal right up and box the parts! NO research being done!!!

  • FACT: "Commercial" whaling was banned and made illegal in 1986. FACT: Today, now that they're officially not allowed to kill whales for food, the Japs kill 900+ per year for "scientific purposes". FACT: Before 1986, when they were killing 2000 a year for food, the Japs killed 200 per year for "scientific purposes".

  • When whales go extinct, people will blame Paul Watson, saying he didn't do enough

  • PURE EVIL

  • It began in December 1941. The Japanese had long lost aerial dominance due to outdated aircraft and the loss of experienced pilots. On a macroeconomic scale, Japan experienced a decreasing capacity to wage war, and a rapidly declining industrial capacity relative to the United States. The Japanese government expressed its reluctance to surrender. In combination, these factors led to the use of kamikaze tactics on Allied forces.

  • If the Japs are really doing research on whales, they'd know by now that 1) Whales really are intelligent mammals 2) There's too much mercury and other toxin in them to risk consuming their meat 3) They are an endangered species struggling to survive 4) Animals this large have a hard time populating 5) It would be much more cost effective to harvest animals other than whale, particularly land animals versus ocean animals

  • @info145 "5) It would be much more cost effective to harvest animals other than whale, particularly land animals versus ocean animals"

    Not in Japan -- remember Japan is a small island -- not alot of room for farming land -- land ( for farming) is expensive in Japan

  • It is difficult to clear the unknown natural science.

    But, the research of Japan is highly regarded in IWC Scientific Committee.

    "The research had the potential to improve Revised Management Procedure. Much progress has been made in minke whale abundance and trends and provided".

    Many great study arose there though many researches were sneered in history.

    Actually, who is seriously continuing research in Antarctic Ocean?

    And, Japan is always welcoming a joint research.

  • Japan is executing non-fatal research like the biopsy etc.

    Not fatal research only.

    However, the research of whale- ecology isn't as easy as completely interpretable only with darts.

    Actually, who clarified the ecology of the Antarctic minke whale by darts only?

  • According to articles of the moratorium, we must correct the moratorium by 1990 based on the scientific investigation result.

    And IWC Scientific Committee met this requirement, and calculated the catch quota.

    However, the anti-whaling nation keeps unfairly disregarding this.

    Scientific Committee opposes this unscientific, abnormal moratorium.

  • FACT: "Commercial" whaling was banned and made illegal in 1986. FACT: Today, the Japs kill 900+ per year for scientific purposes. FACT: Before 1986, the Japs killed 200 per year for scientific purposes.

  • @info145 they should kill any.... AT ALL!

  • i was watching a show where American scientists wanted to do research on whales... so they used a dart gun that took a skin sample the size of a pencil eraser, and from that they knew about the whale's weight, health, age, diet, sex, growth rate, and most importantly, mercury levels! So if the japs need to kill 900 every year just to learn of diet, then how skillful are their scientists? If Minke really are "not endangered", what are Japs doing?... Hunting them until they make sure they ARE?

  • @info145 no their also eating them I should know I live in Japan and whales taste pretty damn good ;)

  • @ultimateanime45 youtube.com/watch?v=xRcEfErT0P­E

  • @ultimateanime45 WELL THAT JUST SHOWS US THAT YOUR A PIECE OF SCUM JUST LIKE THE JAPS, I HOPE U CHOKE ON THE NEXT PIECE OF WHALE MEAT U EAT. MAY U GET SWEPT AWAY IN THE NEXT TSUNAMI.

  • @animalsneedavoice Im a piece of shit. Your a whiney little asswhole that sits infront of a computer and bitch about stupid fucking whales. whales are animals. animals get hunted. animals get killed. animals get eatin its the cricle of fucking lfe witch you need to get. and I am Japanese I live in Osaka and me and my family eat whale every once in awhile and theres not a damn thing you can do about. FAGET!!!

  • @info145 How dare you call us Japs! Under any circumstances don't use that word. It's very offensive. It's the same as using the N word against black people, so don't do it, racist piece of shit.

  • Since when is "Jap" a racist term? Why is it OK to call Australians "Aussies"? Or British called "Brits". We're all human. If calling one a "Jap" is racist, then so is calling one an Aussie or a Brit. No double standards allowed for when you need a diversion from the issue at hand. Everyone loves to use racism as some kind of counterattack. This is about protecting a helpless species who are under attack by superior forces, just like if aliens with advanced technology were to attack humans!

  • @info145 "Jap" is an offensive term against the people of Japan. It's the same as calling black people N***ers.

  • @mysterypersonbc

    "Jap" is just a harmless shortening. Don't you abbreviate when you text or email? Just like "Ban" is a shorter word than moratorium.

    "JAP" is actually a word. Definition: 'When one attacks another while he's not looking or ready for it.'

    The word comes from the cowardly attack of Pearl Harbour.

    "Jap" is for sake of brevity. If i were being racist, i'd say "Nip". THAT is the racist term for the japanese!!!

  • @info145 Jap

    adjective, noun Slang: Disparaging and Offensive -Japanese.

  • @info145 No, Jap is as offensive as "nip". Don't use it racist.

  • @mysterypersonbc

    WELL I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, from me to you, the reason i used it to post those long messages was simply and only for a "shortening" due to lack of space!

  • @info145 Well, just don't use the word "jap" cause a lot of people are highly offended by the word.

  • Fuck me you lot of fucking hypocritical whale hugging FUCKS. you are willing to expliot your tourism for a huge money gain,what about educating the people that depend on them for meat.this has been a staple diet for these people for century's .i went to exmouth i western australia(having my own boat)was not allowed to go within 100meters of these animals(BUT i was allowed to touch and swim with them for a fee OF $320.00)now you fucking tell me,is there a difference between the killer or rapist

  • @mitchellcorp Haha. They slice of parts of crocodiles, tag sharks and animals for their so called research. Or they just catch snakes to show on camera. At least the Japs don't torture animals, they just kill!

  • have caught a few episodes of the seashephard-the huge ship literally turning into that small boad, stranded, not moving but the IWC said it was the SMALL boats fault. Who are these people an who is slipping them money to turn a blind eye? I have been fasinated and in love with Japans history and beauty since Ican remember-Between their "excuse" for hunting whales for scientific reasons as well as the hearding and slaughter of dolpins by REAL MACHO MEN(??:?) The shame of it all is to much!

  • There is starvation and genocide going on as I type, why in Tyr's name does anyone give a shit about hunting?

  • So the whales need to get endangered BEFORE the companies claim they will take action? It seems they don't give a F**k about the ecosystem as long as they make their 250k.

  • How many whales have to be killed to do any type of "research"?

    Legitimate scientists take extra care to not harm any of the creatures

    they study. If it's absolutely necessary, they'll kill maybe ONE so to

    examine it for the greater good of all the rest. How come this

    Japanese "science vessel" is a factory ship (with military equipment

    onboard)? The Shepherds need greater armament

  • These creeps are treating the whales like cows, BUT they're not replenishing the ranks after hunting and killing them! Therefore, they have no right to kill even ONE!

  • On the average, 1 person dies every second ( every 5th second it's a child ) directly or indirectly of starvation - 100,000 each day - 36 million each year - 58 % of all deaths. Have you ever shed a tear for one of them? Save the whales? I say put a whale in a starving kid's belly and save the humans. Check out something called UNICEF.

  • @soulcheck4all feeding whales to starving children is stupid. Did you know that the world now produces enough food agriculturally to feed all the world? Have you ever heard of corn surplus in the US? - If we didn't feed all of the surplus to beef cows, chickens and fish farms then we could feed everyone. Americans eat meat with almost every meal and meat requires a lot more calories to produce then what is later gotten out of it.

  • @soulcheck4all tl;dr

  • @Mileyisawhore99

    Son of a bitch wrapped in musk ox shit that need to sear into nitric acid and sulfuric acid 50% 50 %....

    oh yes, you can not make your PH value is already too high for you to sear dirty Udder licker ....

    Plugs however your head up into your dirty asshole, it makes you prettier, and suck your mother's hairy cock!!!!

  • research? what research? I am training to be a biologist, and I've never any scientist willing to sacrifice that many animals of slow recovering species for the sake of "research". I can only compare these people with the former unit 731 in the sino-japanese war. How insulting.

  • fucking cruel!!!! :( Whales arent fish! they're mammals just like us! We can feel pain cos we have a nervous system. im sure whales feel the same thing, because without it, we'd practically lose half of our natural perception. Fucking idiots who believe tht just cos they 'think' whales dont feel pain, its ok to slaughter. This isnt killing, this is slaughter! murder! and fuck u Nobama6!!! ur naive and narrow minded interests is disturbing and utterly disgusting.

  • Comment removed

  • @johnyRidin Yea he doesn't :P He's a vegetarian. LOL

  • Comment removed

  • @johnyRidin yes but we dont need to consume every little thing on the planet. whales are more likable than cows :P haha that may sound really mean. but whales are more precious and special than cows. lol that sounds so retarded. anyway plus they're going extinct. so yea. us humans can let some animals live right? we dont have to consume everything. however, ethics and animal rights are very difficult topics to have sides on. i'd rather not think about all this stuff; its giving me a headache. :P

  • @johnyRidin oh and according to biology plants dont have the same central nervous system as humans do, and so they do not really feel pain the way we do, and neither joy. lol. basically they dont have human emotions.

  • @EdotheHero

    there was an experiment where a scientist played some music for plants, and the plants actually responded to it! they DO feel joy!

  • @johnyRidin well yea they responded but its not really "joy" like we feel it. and the 'plants responding to music' thing is actually kind of a myth rite now. some people have actually proven them rong. :P wat are we talking about now anyway? xD

  • Comment removed

  • @johnyRidin dude, if plants had feelings and emotions like us they wouldnt be the way they are right now. do they have a heart? no. do they have a stomach? no. do they have a brain? no. plants do not have emotions like us ok? :P yea we do take life in order to live life, but we do not need to consume all life. do we really need to take every life out there? no. whales dont need to be one of them. well for me that is. since i dont eat whale. i'm quite happy enough with chicken and beef. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @johnyRidin yea but do the japanese worship cows? NO. hah! see?

    watever i dont wanna think about animal ethics anymore its annoying

  • @EdotheHero

    im sure there are some Hindu believers that are Japanese. we all take life inorder to live life. don`t forget that!

  • @johnyRidin well yea but i'm pretty sure that there are some japanese who are not hindu believers and still eat both whale and cows. ugh who cares anymore i dont care if people eat whale its just sad to see them being hunted like this. omg go away i'm trying to do homework :P

  • Comment removed

  • @johnyRidin Have you been in a slaughter house? they are not alive when they hang up and the head is cut off. Do not get me wrong the cows still get killed and i am pretty sure they are not excited about it. Yes i eat meat and grew up on a farm in New Zealand. One big difference between farming and whaling is on a farm the farmer breeds and raises the animals that are to be killed. and believe it or not they do care for the animals. The Whales that are being killed belong 2 everyone

  • @dirtyrat6 don`t you think "breeding" and "raising" the animals that are to be killed is pretty scarey too???

  • @dirtyrat6 How's that? If you join the whalings, you will get your part of the catch, so it belongs to everyone who killed it.

  • @roard11 so if we kill whalers we can sell the meat??? I hear Jap is tasty?

  • @youcantleaveDave I don't know what you're talking about. I'm saying it's not allowed to sell the meat, but if you participate you'll get your deal for free.

  • @roard11 so if I kill a whaler i can feed him to the sharks for free?

  • @youcantleaveDave That's the same if I killed you and fed you to the sharks. I'm saying that the participants get their deal, not the people at home. The elderly will get their because they're too old to participate.

  • @roard11 ur saying the meet is not sold in Japan,,, do u smoke homemade crack????

  • @youcantleaveDave Hmmm... My bad, the whale meat is probably being sold in Japan.

  • @ivanioo2 lol noob

  • Hooray! More whale meat, please! I like mine with tofu and spicy curry.

  • The news show first starts off about humpbacks being endangered and Japan killing 1,000 whales a year. This grabs the idiots.

    You have to wait a bit to find out of the 1,000 whales only 50 are humpbacks.

    They also leave out Japanese whaling is done with full permission from the IWC and is completely legal. There are those in the AU who swear Australia is going to sue over the issue but it never happens.

  • meeeaat....mmjummy...

  • research my ass god damm Japanese

  • @DXmmuauaua YOUR MOM'S A HOE!

  • If there is time to play with a toy, save a world child from the starvation!

  • 美味しそうだ

  • Research? Give me a break... All they care about is selling the meat...

  • are you a jap? if you are, i'm talking to jap-harpooners

  • @jjs2868 are u talkin' to japs or me?

  • i told it before the japs are the biggest ignorants in the universe

  • whats the fucking use of killing them for research when there is nothing left of them? assholes i tell u...

  • @biatchwannabe your right. Does it call research? they are nutz!

  • goddamn that presenter's got some bigasstitties!

  • @kanchogrant GO BACK TO BURNING NIGGERS YO DAMN REDNECK

  • This is a clear example of the media "Making the NEWS, instead of Reporting the TRUTH." Anyone who has every watched Whale Wars has seen these are just mobile slaughter houses and packaging plants with the words RESEARCH written on the side. They also target whale reserves and sanctuaries to do this. How much research can you do when you catch, slaughter and package for market without the aid of any scientists?

  • Fuck you whale, and fuck you dolphine

  • @ancientclown thing is, this is NewsRound, a children's news report in Britain, and so they can't put a cynical slant on something, even when they know that it's not research.

  • @samtheman152009 Perhaps, but i haven't noticed any more honesty on any of the so-called legitimate news stations, whether it's BBC, CBC, or NBC.

    They all 'Make the NEWS' instead of 'Report the TRUTH'.

    Spinning propaganda is their main concern. The types of stories they choose to run, the language used when spinning it. Seriously, who cares if Tiger woods is getting divorced or not...how is that more important than how Oil and Gas Companies are destroying/ wasting fresh water supplies.

  • @ancientclown I wouldn't say that's particularly true with the BBC as it's generally impartial when it comes to a clear divide of opinion, but I can't speak of NBC or CBC. In terms of this whaling kind of stuff, the BBC give the facts and trust the viewer to draw their own opinion, specifically when doing the headlines. If you look at a full televised report on whaling by the BBC it'll probably have several views being expressed, with an expert zealot and sceptic. The BBC is really rather good.

  • How about get the researchers to increase whale population so they can kill the same number without having the entire species dissapear. :)

  • @Skelotubbie that is real smart not

  • THIS IS NOT REASEARCH YOU DUMB FUCK

  • kangaroos is not endangered, ok? you understand the difference? its like eating pigs and chickens

  • oh so what.

    the whales dont even know whats going on after get harpooned they just keep trying to swim.

  • @NIN1337

    oh so what

    you dont even konw whats going on after get harpooned. you just keep trying to walk

  • I'll harpoon your face

  • wow. its not like they can look back to see what is happening right? if they get harpooned, they just want to get away from it. and that is why they just keep swimming. USE YOUR BRAINS.

  • Fish dont feel pain. Stupid. Trust me, fish are stupid creatures. The whales do NOT know what is happening to them. Like you said its all purely reactionary.

  • whales are not fish. they are mammals. and yes they can feel.

    maybe you should go read a book or two before acting like you know everything..
