Sea Shepherd Collides With Japanese Whalers

[pots5150]

Japan bribes small poor nations with cash and trade assistance to vote in favor of legalizing their Commercial Whaling cull. Research? Yeah, right!

[PeaceJPN]

You cannot prove it.

You are liar's impolite person. 。

[richardcameron]

Show us the 'research' you Japanese have given the world killing 900 Antarctic whales each year. There is no peer reviewed research at all. NONE. You are a nation of liars. SHAME ON JAPAN

[miley1434]

I'll let Australian Parliament to do its job.

[miley1434]

The United Nations World Charter for Nature establishes the foundation for Sea Shepherd to intervene against illegal Japanese whaling activities.

[drkuroneko]

No it does not. UN will never authorize a private organization to conduct violent actions.

[miley1434]

It is the fact that Japanese whaling activities are illegal under IWC regulations and the provisions of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, the Antarctic Treaty and a Federal Australian Court Order prohibiting whaling by Japan in the Australian Antarctic Territory however the United Nations World Charter for Nature establishes the foundation for Sea Shepherd to intervene against illegal Japanese whaling activities.

[drkuroneko]

Can you point out an official document for your claime here?

"The United Nations World Charter for Nature establishes the foundation for Sea Shepherd to intervene against illegal Japanese whaling activities."

UN, under no circumstance, would hire a private organization to enforce its decision, as far as I know.

Thats a very good question and deserves a good reply.

In short Minke numbers are unknown. Theres a very good chance they are in decline and already endangered, perhaps extinct in 66 years. Or there may just be a lot less of them than we previously thought. Inwhich case they are in a lower category.

The authority on endangered animals, the IUCN. If you look at southern minke, goto the population stats, then click on 2480.pdf. at the base of that.

Decline of approx 60% between the 1978 and 2004

Terrorism : The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create an emotional response through the suffering of the victims in the furtherance of a political , environmental or social agenda. Thanks

Japanese Whaling: A Government funded Commercial venture targeting 900 whales annually in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, whilst hiding behind a banner of 'research'.

The Japanese people deserve better.

[WhaIewars]

Tell me ANY mandate SS have to enforce ANY international law. And DON'T use they "well, we interpret this law to mean..." crap. If a U.N. treaty truly allows your illegal actions, you can get confirmation from the U.N. And why don't you have that? Because no one endorses SS illegal actions.

[pots5150]

Japanese whaling activities are illegal under IWC regulations and the provisions of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, the Antarctic Treaty and a Federal Australian Court Order prohibiting whaling by Japan in the Australian Antarctic Territory. Japanese whaling ships are not allowed to utilize Australian and New Zealand ports because of the recognition and condemnation by these two nations of Japan's unlawful whaling operations.

[WhaIewars]

I find it ironic that the S.S. supporters are so quick to claim their legal right to do what they're doing, but conveniently ignore the fact that not a single country or the U.N. or the IWC will recognize their actions as lawful. They also ignore the fact that the S.S. has a violent history and have had their other ship confiscated by Canada for other illegal activities.

[pots5150]

I quote from Senator Siewert in Australian Parliament:

'I move that the Senate condemns the violent actions of the Japanese whaling fleet, who have reportedly thrown metal balls at environmental activists, and used acoustic weapons to send out painful high frequency waves.

The Australian government's position on the issue of commercial whaling, including so-called scientific whaling, is clear: we remain absolutely opposed to it and have taken unprecedented steps to see it end.'

[WhaIewars]

The inevitable escalation of violence.

[WhaIewars]

So which law are they breaking? Can you show us resources so we can believe you?

[pots5150]

The IWC does not approve of the slaughter of whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary and Japan is not fooling anyone with their charade of scientific whaling. Remove the profits from whaling and the so called "scientific" whaling program will come to a halt. Aside from the bogus science, the whaling program is violating numerous treaties as stated before. There has been no exemption given to Japan to violate CITES, CCCAMLR, or the Antarctic Treaty.

[kiminishock2]

Japanese coast guards sholdve use real bullets in order to wipe out those morons, instead of such shower hoses

[WhalingMustEnd]

Then maybe they should spend a bit more time brushing up on their 'research' over there. It seems these whalers are spending more time studying 'business' to me.

[deadfishfloating]

Combine the tens of thousands of cetaceans killed by Japanaese whalers each year, with the numbers killed as bycatch, add on those killed by eating plastic, and those hit by ships, and those diseased by brucella. Then factor in the shrinking ice that feeds krill and Japans expanded krill harvests.

A hell of a lot more whales are being killed than being born. Ending whaling is the easiest of the problems to solve and a good first stop.

Japan has already wiped out SBF Tuna, nothing left to save.

[fuckafuckafucka]

correction: you're racist towards anyone who has yellow skin.

[fuckafuckafucka]

so it all comes down to one conclusion, you're a racist.

[fuckafuckafucka]

yellow vermin? i can tolerate 'JAPs' or most of the racist remarks but clearly, vermin is not one of them.

[PropagandaBuster]

Where would that be?

[alhaquin]

this thing is gonna cause some uproar, my take, stop those pochers lieing sons of bitches furdering the damage to mother nature

[patclaudowen]

I know, but i don't want to lower myself to PB's level :)

[patclaudowen]

You are everywhere PB. Clearly you don't have a life besides your pc ! Childisch,very childisch !!!

[Ghomtu]

Back off PB!

[PropagandaBuster]
