    Site loads slowly. Perhaps not a bad thing as you can prepare yourself for the horrific pictures.

      This goes WAY beyond sick.......

      I do not normally wish harm on people, BUT, in this case, I hope ALL those who eat the meat suffer mercury poisoning....

      I hope that this film becomes a global blockbuster, and dumps enough pressure on the Japanese Govt, that they cease this barbaric abomination.... Trouble is, they've ignored the whaling "ban" (woops, I forgot, it's only for scientific research, and you can't eat whale meat in Japan AT ALL)......

      TE - Great post - I'll "share" with as many as I can......

        Hey wolfie - Please explain how you could "sink" this story ???

        I, for one, can see no reason (unless you happen to live in the small town concerned, in which case I could understand you being upset about it)......

        But given your login, I find that hard to believe.....

        Knowing the intelligence levels of these animals this is akin to murder. Sick beyond reason.

        Blood money is what they are making. It's tainted and one can't wash it off so easily.

          Why is this permitted? International sanctions against Japan could stop this immediately; they are an island nation and not self-sufficient. Utterly barbaric to do this to intelligent creatures.
