Cyril....The IWC put in its own ban of commercial whaling 20 years ago. Therefore the IWC themselves are against commercial whaling. This is what some people dont understand. Hunting and killing whales for profit is banned by the IWC.

So what is it about "scientific whaling" that you find so attractive cyril? Did you find anything of interest in the last paper published by the Japanese concerning whales?

Why do you feel the need to defend it?

Perhaps you found it very interesting that whales ate fish.

The Japanese are playing everyone for fools...some people want to be their violins.

Now that is an interesting fact Rowena.
The whaling commission is there to manage whaling not to stop it Bill. The only reason it is trying to stop whaling now is because it has been hijacked by antiwhaling countrys like New Zealand and Australia supported by antiwhaling NOGOs that has pressured other small nations like the pacific islands to agree to there agenda.

I heard an interview with a whale expert on the National Radio. He gave the interesting fact that the only oil that does not freeze in space is sperm whale oil. There is no other alternative and NASA will not say where they get their oil form. I wonder what Japan does with its sperm whale oil?
