Science is not a freeway to anything one wants. Simply, “science” does not give Japanese the rights to kill whales. It seems that Japan’s understanding of the world completely isoloates science from sustainabily of the ecology and ethics. Seemingly, Japan regards that science should receive higher priority over the eco-system and ethics, which contradicts with the common sense – we prefer a sustainable living environment to unneccesary and nearly meaningless science. Fundamentally, Japanese seem to grow up among a twisted and sheltered worldview. Sadly.

Are you clueless about everything ‘Anti’antihippies28 or just whales and whaling? The blubber layer is thinner, blubber is not meat. And if all the Japanese was interested in was meat wouldn’t they just kill the largest whales they could find? But they don’t, they take a random sample of whales of all sizes because that is what you do when you are doing research. Hunting whales in the southern waters is LEGAL. And the only reason there aren’t more up to date estimates of the Minke population from the IWC is because if they admit that there are over 500,000 Minke, (Stanford Univ. just released research which says there are about 670,000) then they will not have any reason to maintain the moratorium on Minke whales.

I second it with steve. please the only reason the japanese realized that the whales are thinner is because they have less meat to sell off now. And hippy28. your argument is stupid. we hunt deers and all those animals cause they are LEGAL. unlike whales which are illegal in southern waters for stupid ‘research’ that is never really research. And people take action now because they realise the gaping whole the whales leave in our enviroment. after all. the human race are procastinators

Ugh… So tired of freaking hippies and PETA standing in the way of research and what really matters…. PEOPLE! People hunt down deer, birds, random forest animals, and fish ALL THE TIME for no reason at all, yet nobody cares(excepting of course, the crazies at PETA). Why make such a big deal about killing some whales for research? If these people were just out to hunt down and profit off of whales, this would have been dealt with a looooong time ago. If any proof can be found that these Japanese are profiting off of these whales, then fine, shut them down. Hey hippies, take shower, get a job, and maybe focus on helping HUMANS for once!

So… the whales that survive have less blubber? And that wouldnt have anyhting to do with the Japanese killing the blubbery whales and eating them, huh? No possibile correlation?

I would like these Japanese scientists to consider the rising numbers of elephants that are born with significantly smaller and, increasingly, no tusks. And that wouldnt have anything to do with people in China and Africa killing the elephants with large tusks, huh? No possibile correlation there, either?

WOW, Cap’t Ahab can cut and paste ……. The bottom line is that the majority of the population believe that it should be stopped, and that the is reflected in the tone of the comments of the people posting here. If everybody but one, thought that killing 1 whale was too much, then it would be easy to stop that one person ….. Were almost at that tipping point now !
