1/4/2006: Japan vs Greenpeace
Yet another whale-related IotD? It IS. In this shot, Greenpeace is disrupting a Japanese whaling ship and the ship is responding in kind. Fascinating.

Greenpeace should retaliate with waterbaloons and supersoaker squirt guns. That'll teach em.
glatt Wednesday Jan 4 02:55 PM
Cool shot. Greenpeace got what it was after here - a striking image that people will stop to look at.
I don't like the Japanese whalers. I had forgotten about them, but this image reminds me.

Reminding me more and more of MXC....
Wormfood Wednesday Jan 4 03:51 PM
I bet those whales are caught for scientific purposes...They didn't learn anything from last years catch. 
But hey,Greenpeace learned to screen off the driver. 
fargon Wednesday Jan 4 04:15 PM
At least the Japanise eat the whales, Unlike some people that kill to have a head on thier wall 
glatt Wednesday Jan 4 04:21 PM
The Japanese also eat the entire fin from the sharks they kill. Dump the rest of the writhing creature overboard.

He's right, the driver has plexiglass on 3 sides.

I've got a great shot of me mooning the Greenpeace boat "Rainbow Warrior" when it visited here.
I know, I need to get a life.

You are thinking of the Chinese, Japanese don’t generally eat shark or shark fin soup, unless they visit a Chinese restaurant!
The Japanese do however kill thousands of dolphins every year.

I think we should all stop worrying so much about countries like Japan and Norway or Greenland and their whaling fleets, ever wonder when you order Chilean Sea Bass at that favorite place if their fish was caught legally or by poachers exceeding any limits? Practice what you preach and don't postulate.
Some day it will be just like Solent Green, so many humans to dispose of, perhaps we will just consume the biproducts...

| Of the total worldwide catch of 1.2 million tons of tuna, Japanese consume 600,000 tons: 500,000 tons as sashimi and the remaining 100,000 tons in cans. In Japan, 250,000 tons of tuna are imported. In short, Japan is the largest market for tuna in the world. |

By the way I've eaten whale, not that good. I've eaten it as sashimi and as whale bacon. The sashimi was god awful, and the whale bacon was only a little better.

Nope. It's digital.
