I can agree that we are no better than any other culture, we eat meat. What i cannot agree on is the fact that this is a disgraceful way to treat any living animal if this was happening in this country it would at least be humane!!!! I am a big lover of dolphins and whales and have signed many petitions like this one to stop the unnecessary killing of these highly intelligent and social animals. The trouble is Japan and Norway blatantly flaunt rules set, claiming accidental capture etc. How can you justify needing over 1000 animals for research purposes alone?!!!. Also every winter off the uk shores hundreds are killed in fishing nets which could be modified but the spanish and french fleets decide not to. I cannot see this changing until the people we elect to government stop buggering about and actually put some proper pressure onto these governments. These cultures should be educated towards using sustainable sources instead of worrying about a few potions to keep it up!!! I do eat meat but i would'nt eat anything that would end in the extinction of a species. Many japanese etc think this practice is barbaric but like everything else until they become the majority nothing will happen!!!!!!!!!
Before you comment i do respect other people's cultures but they should respect mine and allow my grandchildren the pleasure of seeing these animals in the wild like i have done many times.Sorry for the rant and rave but this is a subject that i am quite passionate about and i apoligise in advance if i offend anyone
