Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's living in Agadez, Niger. Spending more time in town, Agadez, as bad people in the desert are spoiling the good life.

"We have chased the whalers for over 800 miles since last Saturday through bad weather and heavy ice conditions," said Captain Paul Watson. "They have fled eastward, but we are on their tail and we will keep on their tail."

Last year I saw a news item on the TV news showing Green Peace anti-whaling protesters in the Southern Ocean throwing & smashing what look like glass bottles of some sort of substance against the side of a whaling ship from a inflatible dinghy. How f**king dump is that? Littering the ocean the with broken glass!! If they want to endanger their own lives that's fine but don't come bleating if they get hurt performing stupid stunts.

I see that the Inuits in Canada, Norway & Iceland are whaling as well. Why aren't they hounded by Greenpeace & the Sea Shepherd? I think there's an element of discrimination here.

Fixed. Inuit is plural, Inuk is singular. Also, other indigenous people have that right as well - I remember that the Haida of British Columbia are allowed to hunt orcas.

/the more you know

Indigenous peoples often have treaty rights to hunt whales and other off-limit animals, but under the agreement of hunting at sustainable levels. This, along with any harvesting of any resource by any people at a sustainable level, is fine by me. Even whales.

As long as the animal/fish/plant (or whatever) is being hunted sustainably and in the case of living creatures, being killed humanely, then I don't have a problem with it being hunted either.

Although then people start bringing up that in Whales (and other Cataceans) there is a high mercury level and it is dangerous to consume them because of that. Having said that you could die from to much fast food.

But what is Greenpeaces obsession with whales? Seriously, there are many other cooler animals out there that need protection.

Killing people would be a much more sustainable way of getting meat

And it'd help with the overpopulation issue as well. Getting two birds stoned at once

I hate all the "save the whale" hippy sh*t - they are big, gormless animals which people like to eat and experiment on. Good on them, I say.

It is the same with Pandas - if they cannot be bothered to get stiffies and f**k each other, why should we bother trying to help them?

Let them die out, while we spent all the money we are wasting on them and whales trying to cure Aids, cancer and in-growing toe nails.

we should force the Norwegians to come to the south like they did 1000 years before the Maori so we can chase them in a boat.

it would make a goodd photo at least

If Sea Shepherd sank, I would not want the people on board to drown.

I would like either the Japanese whaling boat to turn around and harpoon the crew, or a whale to eat them all (insert your own gag about swallowing seamen)

If they get swallowed by a whale AFTER being harpooned, it'd be a decent way to get rid of the evidence.

When will this silly "terrorism" rhetoric end? I thought that once Bush left office he would take the with-us-or-with-the-terrorists mentality with him. Maybe that was naive. Apparently the Japanese government has taken yet another step towards labeling the conservationist Paul Watson a terrorist.

Watson is the founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and captain of the anti-whaling vessel, the Steve Irwin. During a recent trip between Canada and the United States, Watson discovered that he is now officially on some kind of Japanese suspected-terrorist watch-list. While going through the regular paperwork of international air travel, he was told that there was some issue with his documents and was pulled aside by a member of the American homeland security office. There he was held long enough to miss his original flight, but Watson was lucky enough to catch the next flight out.

Would Watson & his crew go as far as killing the whaling crew?

If Watson & crew end up in the water it's there own fault. I don't sympathize with people who act irresponsibly. Actually, they would be breaching basic health & safety rules.
