Japanese citizens - take care in Australia 日本人は豪州で気をつけて http://david-in-tokyo.blogspot.com/20... This beer advertisement demonstrates that the Australian authorities need to tone down their emotional anti-whaling rhetoric, and be very very careful to monitor the situation and not themselves contribute towards incitement of racially based violence on Australian soil. In light of this distasteful campaign, were I Japanese I would be extremely careful about myself if I were in Australia over the coming summer, whether that be at the pub or down on the beach. The combination of alcohol and the hysteria in Australia surrounding the whaling issue makes me extremely fearful of the possibility of racially motivated violence being born out of this situation.
It was only last year that Sydney experienced major riots related to racial tension.
The Dingo is on brink of extinction and now listed on the IUCN Red List as Vulnerable. There are small pockets of pure dingoes left in only some areas, but they remain a species listed as agricultural pests, so farmers destroy them. The dingo population has been severely threatened by the widespread eradication regimes such as poisoning, shooting, trapping and habitat loss. Dingoes are not dogs. They have always been a wild canine. Pure dingoes, like wolves, are still locked in genetically to annual breeding seasons. Australia holds the world record for mammal extinctions. It would be an abomination if dingoes were added to this list. Australia is now ranked the 4th highest in the world for the extinction of native species. http://www.wadingo.com/
Millions of kangaroos are killed for their meat and skins every year. Australian government has allowed the kangaroo slaughter to continue on the pretext of drought. The kangaroo meat and skins industry is putting kangaroos under threat by killing a large percentage of females. Allowing kangaroo meat and skins to be sold in the world would threaten the species' existence. Kangaroo populations have been dwindling and are now the lowest they have been in more than a decade. An increased demand for kangaroo meat and skins will further jeopardize Australia's dwindling kangaroo populations. Just like dogs, cats, and whales, kangaroos feel pain and suffer and deserve to be protected from needless suffering and death. Protests in Australia against the kangaroo slaughter have been ignored. Zoologists worry that the kangaroo may become extinct in some areas if the slaughter is not ended very soon. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CXgTWb8JBuA

Many animals, birds mate for life and communicate with each other! Killing them is incredibly babaric...and yet, human have been and will killing them for different purposes. Standing animial side sounds good for animal lover, but do you have any solution for human side?
So, why complain to Japan do whaling in public sea area where it does belong to everyone in the world? Japan respect agreements of IWA. It is Aus who make strange complaint, right? WHY? this questions is very simple to me....maybe not to you tho. Japan is not ignorant here. You are ignorant to the international agreements. I would say, it is just your personal and emotional opinition brain washed by Aus TV programs.
Here's why - We make a huge amount of money from whale watching industry. We see that there are NO MORE whales in Japan area due to hunting. Now, Japan comes all the way down to our corner of the globe and will repeat same thing. Effectively killing our industry. Japanese whale hunting runs in millions of dollars debt(has to be subsidised by tax payers) Aus whale industry makes millions profit per annum! In our eyes - your industry makes NO SENSE! AND NO PROFIT!
There are so many whales in Japan area. We also enjoy whale watching. Whale watching is your industry, ok, whale hunting is our industry. And who knows profit and losese of both industiries. You do? show me the figures.
In short this video is propaganda, and not very good propaganda at that. The cherry picking of examples and straw man arguments can be dismissed by rubbing two brain cells together and a few google searches. The fallacies in this vid are so blindingly obvious that I would accuse you of trolling had I any faith left in humanity.
I award you no points, and may the FSM have mercy on your soul.
Until recently Japan tried to conquer the pacific. They have never changed. Whos the assholes now? Welcome to history, we all have some where not proud of, but atleast we didn't try to invade any other countries.
Kangaroos too are overpopulating due to changes farmers have made to the environment (clearing and grasslands) Culling is required to control the population. The same is true for whales, but only some species.
Roo and Dingo culls are government regulated and numbers STRICTLY controled
You talk about our racism, never mind the fact that in the Brisbane CBD I feel like a foreigner in my own country. Not because of the numbers of imported citizens but because of the disdain they show anyone born in Aus of Anglo Saxon linage.
Also Cronulla is a Bogan pit, way to cherry pick issues, never mind the inciting incident. (assault by intolerant Muslims)
I just realised you showed an Aboriginal woman along with the Thylacine as examples of extinctions, so they are extinct animals now?
Its not the whaling that's the issue, its the culling of endangered species, damaging the ecology of the area and our tourist trade. Hunt the non endangered species for fuck sake.
Show me an endangered dingo and ill show you a protected species. Most dingos are thriving, becoming a pest and are interbred with other dog species anyway. There are very few pure blood dingos left.
*laughs* I like how you don't show the other side of the coin with the Cronulla riots. How thousands of Muslims from Auburn and the surrounds made the journey of over an hour to beat up "Skippy's" in Cronulla because two Muslims got arrested for beating up a lifesaver for coming to the aid of a girl on the beach being called a slut for sunbaking in her costume. And if the Japanese hate the "gaijin" so much, why do you use skin whitening products like Shiseido? Wannabe? Inferiority complex?
