Watson said that while anti-whaling vessels will not be going into Antarctic waters this year, the group will not be abandoning its goals.

"We need to cultivate the resources, the tactics and the ability to significantly shut down the illegal whaling operations of the Japanese whaling fleet," he said.

I would never actively seek whale on a menu. But having had it served to me in a tempura restaurant in Ginza District, Tokyo I can testify to the fact that it’s freaking delicious.

I used:
sea shepherd site:freerepublic.com (in google)

And selected last month for the time frame?

Just repeated the search and it comes up nicely.
Posting while distracted perhaps?

>> I can testify to the fact that it’s freaking delicious <<

I had roasted whale meat in Norway. Set me back about $100. Very boring stuff. And certainly not worth the exorbitant cost.

But based on your comment, maybe I should try in next time I’m in Japan!

“Scrap the Bob Barker”

Anybody that would shut up that Gilmore jamoke, is OK with me.

So he has a few idiosyncrasies?

It was part of a tempura meal, meaning breaded and deep fried. It tasted like the best pork I’ve ever eaten.

You save the whales
you save the seals
you save whatever’s cute and squeals
but you kill “that thing” that’s in the womb
would not want no baby boom.
