disgusting that. and the aussie woman joking about 'save the whales for dinner' is really sick. the sea shepherds should go there with their ships to stop it

i think its a pretty nasty method of killing the whales,no doubt it was a way of survival in olden times
seems to be part of there culture which i suppse we will never understand

Yes... there is a time to grow above old and base habits, isn't there ... if we don't look at ourselves as a species and realize that we are guardians of this place, well, there isn't much hope, is there. When I was in Egypt I was shocked, absolutely appalled, at the lack of environmental and animal friendly concerns, it was like going back to the dark ages, some conversations I had with people I consider good people really shocked me and it really showed cultural differences, mainly due to the very immediate need for survival - it was an eye opener, incredibly sad and inspiring all at the same time. How lucky we are to have a choice. Those whale hunters have that choice, too, the need for the whale hunting for survivial is much less now, possibly non-existent. There is a lot of work to do still, in changing attitudes, this really could be an amazing place to live if people would just respect the freedom this planet was given.
