  • I smell corruption....!

  • Regardless of whether one is against or for whaling, lying to the public is wrong. I think the tax payers of Japan have a right to know they're supporting the whaling business when many of them don't even eat whale. Not only that, but much of the meat is stolen! WTF.

  • against whaling !!!

  • .."Greenpeace misleads the public"?!! 

  • @serenityflower1 Same! And that's exactly what I thought. As bad as it sounds, I'm glad it was two Japanese men that did this - and were prosecuted for it - only because it does show Western countries that not all of Japan, in fact only the minority, support whaling.

  • whaling is not on trial. Two fools who stole whale meat are on trial.

  • Japan's government is Just as fucked up like killing innocent whales lol...

  • i really hope for the best for the tokyo two.

    i hope this teaches lots of people that not all of japan are into this whale meat scandal as well. not all of them are bad!

    but they really should stop. they're giving their own country such a bad reputation for something which people barely eat. its understandable that some people live off of the pay they get from whaling, but its wrong, and they should understand that its harder for whales to reproduce, compared to farm animals.

  • Haha, i kinda thought japan was going to react like that, well, have fun eating your 2000% over regulations mercury-filled whale meat what causes over 40 known diseases, including internal bleeding and such, all for sake of fucking whaling. Personaly id love to see whole whaling fleet sinking into depths of ocean along its crew who certainly know that they are doing wrong and would have other choices.

  • Crime involving the Japanese Government indeed,

    but there are many other crimes the Japanese Government is involved in or at least is covering-up.

    Getting arrested here in Japan is tough, 3 to 4 weeks in Jail for no reason and no phonecall allowed, family members might never find out, also with torture and forced false statements, this is the law here.

  • In Japan like any Capitalist country there is not freedom at all, but we have a Democratic Fascism around the globe, is so popular you didn't know that?

  • Please, can anyone tell me if there is a JAPANESE language version of this video and if so, where to find it?
