I agree, nothing but terrorists and our government lets this shit go on. They need ot be shut down and prosecuted and put into a prison for being terrorists.

They need a Freeper captain to create true havoc! Admiral Chubby sprains himself at an all you can eat buffet so the Sea Shepherds are taken over by Ted Nugent who shows the Japanese what a real hunter does to poachers.

Awesome! As a TV producer for hunting and fishing TV shows, THAT is something I'd love to produce!

Didn’t the hippies get put in a Japanese jail the last time they illegally boarded a ship)

Yes, an Australian hippy spent a few months eating fish heads and rice.

Here in the Pacific NW there are so many whales they are overfeeding and starving subspecies. They need to be harvested and sold to Japan.

If it really is illegal to hunt whale meat,

LoL. No, it is not.

And if they really are lying about their ‘research’ in order to do it,

They could always withdrawal from some silly United Nations (United Commies) treaty if they are signatory to any anti-whaling treaty anytime they want to. And these clowns have no effective way to really enforce their so-called anti-whale treaty, except cry to liberal networks like MSLSD-NBC to cover whale hunting. Waah.

Oh, I see the Russian Federation is against any moratorium to whale hunting. Hey, why don't Commodore Hippy go after the Russians?

I know why Commodore Hippy won't go after the Russians, cus, they'd sink his rear-end down to Davy Jones locker. LoL.

then I have no problem with any group out there giving them hell, even if it’s a bunch of clueless hippies.

They're lucky the Japanese are sooo nice to these liberal clowns.

And another question. So why aren't these Hippy Sea Hags attacking the Eskimo whale hunts? Heck, I read that they hunt more whales except for Japan and Norway.

Not politically correct enough for these liberal clowns. Oh Nuts. Hippy Hypocrisy!

Felix Gum is great! Made out of Whales. Yummy Yummy!

Mmmm mmmmm good - whales taste good. ;-)

“Oh, I see the Russian Federation is against any moratorium to whale hunting. Hey, why don’t Commodore Hippy go after the Russians?”


Probably because the Russians are quite famous for killing millions of their own people. They’re still doing it to this very day. But Japan is a civilized country and ought to know better, and not a backward hellhole like Russia or China.

But if the whale hunting is not illegal, then my anger is abated. But, whales are noble animals, and I would not hurt one the same way I would never hurt a dog. It’s a barbaric practice, which would explain why they allegedly do it for scientific purposes instead of for eating or using their powdered bones for crackpot Asian medicine.

“Who are they killing today?”


Journalists, mostly, and opponents of the regime, or others who need to go for political reasons. Occasionally Georgians. Americans, by proxy, through their support of Iran/Syria. Alexander Litnvenenko, who was poisoned with Polonium 210, even alleged Osama’s number two guy (now number one) was trained by the FSB. Of course, Russia kills Muzzies too, but I don’t count them.

[Whaling is] a barbaric practice

Fishing is a barbarous practice?

I know a whale isn't a fish, of course.

A whale is a mammal, just like a cow, or a deer, or even a dog (in certain cultures) which man sometimes chooses to eat.

Even though I, for instance, would never eat a dog, I would not impulsively criminalize the practice by those human carnivores who don't share my opinion.

As long as it wasn't endangering the species outright, I'd eat gator meat, and I'd eat whale meat...

Like I said, if it actually isn’t illegal, then I have no serious problems with it. I wouldn’t bomb people who eat dogs, though I would call them backward.

Let the Japanese harvest their own whales. While it is legal they should do the work if they want the whales.

There is no reason to hunt for whales. Not for food, oil, or any other reason. But if it is still legal to do so, pirates should NOT be boarding their ships or harassing them on the open sea.

If the world does not like it....., then outlaw it.

Noble? So they have have regal titles bestowed by kings. Aristocratic whales. Who knew.

It’s a barbaric practice,

You eat cows? That's barbaric too!

which would explain why they allegedly do it for scientific purposes

Sure they do it for scientific purposes, and then they eat it too. Whale meat is a terrible thing to waste.

instead ... using their powdered bones for crackpot Asian medicine.

I agree, but I think you're getting confused with the Chinese as they eat everything that moves.

They should turn the whales only into Felix Gum. Yummy!
