    Whales = "cockroaches of the sea"

    I heard some time ago that some Japanese official said that whales are the "cockroaches of the sea." Can someone point to the exact reference, by whom and when? Thanks,

    Japanese Government Stealing Their Children's Future

    That's good Mad Pierrot. Then do Japanese people a favor and please spread the word. You are right about tuna also, but I doubt it would have 900-9000 times the amount of mercury above acceptable limits as some whale meat does. Personally I love Japanese people having lived in Japan for a...

    Are Whales, dolphins, more intelligent than humans?

    Whales more intelligent than humans? Before you believe the Japanese Government's opinion that whales are "cockroaches of the sea" read this fascinating and well-referenced article written by Paul Watson titled "The Paragon of Animals: Reflections on the Human Perception of Intelligence" [as...

    Whale Meat!

    Mad Pierrot, anyone who eats whalemeat is either selfish, ignorant or stupid - or all three. Selfish because you don't even consider the pain you are causing the whale by eating it. Ignorant because you don't understand that every whale death is leading the species closer and closer to...

    Another reason not to whale - whales have feelings like us

    December 18, 2005 A group of courageous and compassionate divers cut loose an exhausted humpback whale just outside of San Francisco. They removed over twelve crab traps weighing 90 pounds each with the ropes tangled around the tail and flippers. ツ“When I was cutting the line going through...

    Are Whales, dolphins, more intelligent than humans?

    DO WHALES AND DOLPHINS HAVE SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE OR ARE THEY JUST BIG FISH? The following information is adapted from an article in Ocean Realm Autumn 1997 by Paul Watson. It is commonly held by the majority of the civilised world that cetaceans (whales, dolphins) are more intelligent...

    eating whale meat as japanese culture

    For those who are fixating on the taste of whale meat or the loss of income for a few fishing families, perhaps you should look at the big picture which is that whales are at less than 1% of former numbers and NO species have recovered from over 200 years of commercial whaling. That is why the...

    Sea Shepherd responds to Hiroshi Hatanaka on eco-terrorism

    The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has never been convicted of any felony crime and from what I understand eco-terrorism is a felony. Hatanaka may have his opinions but his opinions have no basis in fact. If I am an eco-terrorist then why was I not arrested for such in New...

    Japan, please stop whale hunting!

    My compassion goes out to all living things. But since I have to eat, eating low on the food chain means less suffering for others. When you eat a cow or a whale, that represents millions of deaths of insects or grass blades (since you consider vegetables sentient). Therefore if you eat grass...

    I declare whale to be...

    Oh but Zkavar, have you tasted human brain? It is the most delicious of all. You really should try it .... It just needs a little lemon juice and some shoyu served with some lettuce. Very pretty too. There are tribes in Papua New Guinea who have eaten this delicacy for centuries. What right...

    Whales Starving Millions

    Xkavar I heard that Japan is buying whalemeat even from the native people who are allowed to kill whales in secret deals. So these days the natives are killing more whales so they can get $ from Japan which is a very sneaky way of Japan to get more whalemeat creating more of a threat to the...

    Ecological reasons against whaling

    Hi Mad Pierrot. Hey, I see you have a new Avatar! I like it. Ok back to sustainable whaling - if you check Prof. Stephen Palumbi's groundbreaking genetic research you will see that: "The most recent firestorm began in July 2003, when the journal Science published a study on humpback, fin...

    should China forgive Japan? OFFTOPIC about whaling

    I'll join you Rosib. Japan is like a beast gone mad with totally no regard for other countries, our planet or whale species survival. It has to be stopped!

    Whaling

    Thanks Bossel for your post on Professor Stephen Palumbi. Palumbi's ground-breaking genetic research poses some very important questions and until the jury comes back in, no more whales should be killed by any country, otherwise there is a very real possibility that we could be making whales...

    Whaling

    Thank you Whalerider for bringing up some very important views on whaling. It seems that Japan is not very receptive to environmental or humane aspects of whale killing preferring instead to defend itself by saying it's no different to killing cows etc. However it is different in significant...

    Ecological reasons against whaling

    THE OCEANS ARE DYING: With over 160 dead zones (i.e. where nothing lives - no oxygen, no plankton, no worms, no fish, nothing - some as large as 70,000 sq.kilometers), it is only a matter of time at the rate we are overfishing that the entire ocean will become full of nothing but sluggish...

    Whales Starving Millions

    Another interesting point about eating whale meat is how irresponsible it is for the Government of Japan to allow its people to eat food so extremely contaminated with mercury and carcinogenic. I wonder if this is a subtle form of lowering the population of humans? Food for thought ....

    Whale Curry

    So Mad Pierrot, still eating cetaceans? I hope one day you will research cetaceans and see how evolved, intelligent and amazing they are instead of just thinking about what tastes good. Human gluttony is destroying everything in the sea. At the rate Japan is going it looks like they are...
