When will the Japanese people wake up and stop this barbaric practice. Shame on the Japanese.

It makes me ashamed to be Australian, like hunting whales would make me ashamed to be Japanese.
When are governments going to do the right thing? Why does Australia want to take a leading role in the abatement of global warming?
I understand that if the world takes no action then the climate will change and possibly the food chain will collapse because the PH of the oceans will change and shelled creatures will no longer be able to make their shells (some scientists believe this is already unavoidable). But the truth is there are more people living in Tokyo than the whole of Aus. Whatever we do is insignificant compared to the rest of the world. So why are we trying to be a leader? Its all about getting votes, and the resultant policy is all about getting votes, politics like religion makes me sick.
Its not exciting, most of the time your lucky to even know they are there, but knowing they are there is enough. Australia and Australians can be proud that their government is finally taking a stance against Japanese whaling even though they need to step up the pressure further.
At the beaches yesterday afternoon during the time I had 3 beers I counted 8 whales not one of them breached or tail slapped they were all intent on steaming towards warmer waters.
It’s time for people to make a stand and expose the Japanese for what they are!
Shame on you Japan!
Shame on the Japanese!
Shame on us humans that do nothing and accept the shameful.

Shame on you Japan, a pox on everyone who supports this abomination!
The Japanese fleet set sail on Sunday on its largest ever whaling program in the South Pacific that will break a moratorium on hunting the famed humpback whale for the first time since 1963.
The ships, led by the 8030-tonne Nisshin Maru, departed the southern port of Shimonoseki on Sunday morning..
The whaling fleet has orders to slaughter up to 50 humpbacks – the first known large-scale hunt for the whales since a 1963 moratorium put them under international protection.
They also aim to take up to 935 Antarctic minke whales and up to 50 fin whales, according to a report Japan submitted to the International Whaling Commission earlier this year.
Again shame on you Japan! Shame on all Japanese for allowing these atrocities to continue.
There are still a few stragglers heading North, but I have not sighted any for a few weeks. This season the current heading north must have been out wider than last year.
It angers me to think that the Japanese hunt these magnificent creatures, last weeks paper made mention that the Japanese whaling industry is supplying whale meat to schools in an effort to boost sales. Shame on you Japan!
While looking out to sea and watching four separate pods of whales (about 20)heading north at a good pace, I imagined what it would look like to see greedy little men using hi powered boats and explosive harpoons proudly slaughter these creatures.
It angers me to think that such men are indeed doing just that out of sight in the Southern Ocean. I am glad that this does not happen here if Australians were to slaughter these creatures I would feel deeply ashamed for my country and our values.
Shame on You Japan!
