In fact, they probably lost it before Paul Watson went after them.<br /><br />I have no trouble with subsistence hunting. I do have trouble with market hunting. Market hunting destroyed so much of North America's wildlife in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and it continues to destroy Africa's wildlife in the bushmeat trade.<br /><br />I'd like to know what sort of "research" these whaling fleets are doing. It seems to me that most of what they are doing is taking measurements of their catch and then rendering it up for meat.<br /><br />Don't expect the new Japanese government to crack down on this at all. They might be more sensitive to pressure than the old LDP government, but they still have a fishermen's union constituency to please at home.Retrievermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780519136583108632noreply@blogger.com
