My parents said we used to eat whales. But I don't eat them. In fact, I never saw whale meats in any supermarkets in my life. I know people don't believe me because I'm a jap right?

[danthewhaleman]

wadakoyo...I believe you. Why wouldn't I? Not all Japanese people are for whaling. Most Japanese are not supportive of whaling efforts, most don't care.

One problem is that whale meat is proving to be very toxic.

[hex99jojo]

According to the estimation of the numbers of fin whales, 50 whales corresponds to 0.4% of all that species in antarctic sea. This amount should not affect their populations in future. Everything is going to be done properly by following the IWC rules. Emotional statement is always really bothering. Please take a look at the results from Japan's research and study the articles of IWC.

My argument is not that the species will be killed off. All whales are deserving of special protections, none should be killed and there is no method to humanely kill a whale.

Deadly toxins are found in many species of whales and dolphins and perhaps the people eating whale meat will harm themselves.

why they killing so many whales?

[danthewhaleman]

It is simply because whale meat is considered a delicacy in Japan and is very expensive. The Japanese whaling fleet brings tens of millions of dollars to their economy. The "scientific whaling" they claim is not science and proves nothing.

DON'T EAT ANY ANIMALS !!!!

[CatatonicNeuro]

that's horrific

[gadionson1]

stop killing whales ... :(

[HedgieDiva]

@danthewhaleman Whales kill other whales dont they.. hmmm?>

[zahirahfame]

@Frenchwithnuclear If don't eat any animals ... We can't eat chicken ?

[southparkfan2717]

@Frenchwithnuclear You're entitled to your beliefs, and I respect that. But eating meat is in the Bible. Not eating whales though. In fact the only mention of whales in the Bible I recall is one that saved Jonah. That is a sign for me anyway that whales are not to be messed with.

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! If the whales do have toxins in their bodies, at least the one good thing that'll come of that is those who eat them will become poisoned. i recommend Seppuku to all Jap whalers. Blue Oyster Cult points out the facts most poetically: "History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man!"

@wadakoyo Japanese fish markets sell the whales, of course a supermarket aint gona sell whale. its highly illegal to fish for it , let alone sell it and let alone sell it an a mainstream supermarket

[wadakoyo]

Now　I think I have responsibility to see the movie The Cove, All Japanese people should watch, not being so stubborn.

確かに、日本人は鯨が好きだ。

だからこそ、慈悲の気持ちを持って鯨を採って、余すところなく食­べる。

その昔、鯨油だけ採って捨てた、お前らには何千回言っても理解で­きないことだろうがな。

ま、仕方あるまい。

Hey thanks.

In fact, I quit eating beef and pork.

But I really don't suggest anyone to do the same as I do. I just do what I believe. And I like Radiohead.
