Whale WARS

Whale wars.

Japan is using "research" as a subterfuge to harvest whales
for high end domestic consumption.( $$$ )
The Japan whaling fleet has so increased harvesting
that prices have declined.
Prices have declined from $160 a pound in 1996 to
to $12 a pound in 2004.

The whaling fleets harvest entire pods, no selective
hunting as would be normal in research.

The big give away is the profits.
Follow the money.
The funding for the whaling fleet comes
from on the sale of whale meat at auction
in Japan.

The Japanese are just hunting whales
as gourmet fare.

This tradition is outmoded in todays
environment.

God speed to the "SEA SHEPARD".

Maybe the State Dept. can exert some
influence vis-a-vis the N Korea Nuke problem.

Japan's violations of whaling treatys is so
transparent a fraud as to be insulting to the
International community.
