Some also have said that Japan has used economic threats in order to force poorer countries to vote there way in relation to the IWC
And America (and any G& nation for that matter!) would never do that, of course!!!!

Actually I'm English!Calling the Sea Shepherds terrorists is a big stretch. It's not a big surprise that the person that started this thread is from Japan.
In the case of Minke whales they aren't endangered. That's the whole point.Also, I don't quite buy the boxing analogy. I imagine the moratorium on whaling is there because of their endangered status. If insufficient progress has been made on that front, it doesn't make sense for the moratorium to simply end and whaling be allowed at the danger of whale extinction. That's like everyone agreeing that boxing is too dangerous, so it's temporarily stopped until it's made safer. But it hasn't been made safer, so...
So much of this post is pure BS I'm not even going to bother to answer it.So who do you think is going to get killed? Will it be the ones trying to put themselves between the whales and the international poachers? Or will it be the whalers shooting at the Sea Shepherds?
I know you're trying to set up your argument so that you can defend the whalers when they kill someone which is their obvious intent.
Even if you're English it doesn't diminish the fact that you're posting from Japan.
Nice defense Kim. Take the ignorance route and run with it.
Of course not!And America (and any G& nation for that matter!) would never do that, of course!!!!
