Japan ignores world opinion on whaling .

Angelfire1,

 

I've been close up to these creatures. When sailing back from Svalbard three humpbacks surfaced around the boat. The three of us sailing the boat where speechless. The whales stayed with us for 15minutes.

 

For me, there is no halfway measure on hunting them. It's just plain wrong. They then sounded and I saw the fin disappear beneath the waves-just like in the video.

Thank you for that. I have to admit that the song and a couple of the pictures really make you wonder how long the Whale as a species will survive.

There are a few dozen species of whale, not all of which are endangered.

 

Spent a bit of today reading up on the justifications for hunting, and they are paper thin

No doubt in my tiny mind, that 15 minutes will never be forgotten in your lifetime. What an experience it must have been.

Yes there are many species of Whale's, but here is my question, when the endangered species are finally eradicated from the seas, do you think the Whaling nations will just pack the hunting in, or will they turn their harpoon guns on another of the species. My best guess would be the latter. What say you.

Apparently the harpoon explodes inside the whales just so as to cause as much agony as possible . Japan should be ashamed.
