In a letter to Japan, published in the NY Times, sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund, 21 scientists declared: "Japan's whale research program fails to meet minimum standards for credible science. Also, their whaling is not designed to answer questions relevant to the management of whales & Japan refuses to make the information it collects available for independent review & its research program lacks a testable hypothesis and performance indicators needed for acceptable scientific standards."

"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

The Japanese whale poachers have "corrupt souls". The IWC just needs to realize that the set parameters are being fully exploited and are NOT working! Those who think they can destroy that much of nature for money and never need to worry about consequences (especially because the "official" authorities aren't complaining) are the ones who need a wake up bitchslap

>Japan is genius when it comes to lies, not only about whales but about other evil things too..

>Most Japanese people hates foreigners.　↑　Matigas ang uten Ko！

Japanese NEVER criticize that Philippinos and Koreanos are eating "Dogs and Whales" both, but just "Dislike" it.　China Commie banned Dog-Restaurants' business when Beijing Olympic held without showing Law that bans it.

Japanese "Like" Foreigners foundamentally, Pilipinos too.　But of course depend on "Who and Whom".

sorry to enlighten you with this information, but I guess they just hate you, which is perfectly understandable, if you're as stupid as your comment is.
