I have just read in the media about a Japanese Whaleing boat that has had an explosion onboard disabeling the ship ? I dont agree with killing whales and i dont like the way the japanese kill sharks just for their fins. What do you think, do you think they will ever be stopped from doing this.

Japan will never stop so long as there is a market for Whale meat, Shark fins and bear galbladders these items fetch huge profits for the companies that do it so long as someone is willing to pay and there is a dollar in it for them, it will happen.

Just simply love whales and dolphins, love the ocean.. Just can not stand anyone going out there to kill such wonderful creatures! Whales and dolphins are some of the most intelligent living creatures on the face of this earth. What gives anyone the right to abuse and slaughter these animals. Thats the one thing that draws me to Tenerife most years for my holidays is to go out onthe boats to observe these creatures in the wild, and the shores around the Canary Isles these creatures are all protected, if anyone id caught harming them they face tough penalties! And I think this should be worldwide where there are such creatures inh our waters Lynn-Marie

I, personally, am against anyone killing dolphins or whales. These two species are just too intelligent. It is like killing a chimp or gorilla or, if they exist, aliens. As long as they don't attack us; leave them alone. Killing sharks just for their fins is a huge waste. I have eaten shark meat and it is very tasty and a good source of protein. Sharkskin also has many uses.

Actually killing whales by Japanese was a great issue on international platform almost ten years before. Japan never bothered for international criticism. It's really surprising that the rich society of Japan is also that society which has seen destruction by atomic bombs, are so cruel. Japanese society is exhibiting cruelty against whales only to make themselves more and more rich. If you come across a fiction titles VENOM then you can read a lot bold things about the cruelty of Japan in most of the fields. The author of that novel has boldly said that Japan deserves Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
