Why aren’t more people pissed that the country of Japan is hunting 1000 whales?

The hunt is happening because of a loophole in international law but if enough people protested I am sure they would stop. Boycotting products made from Japanese companies would be a great start. While I know the companies have nothing to do with it, economic pressure is likely to work the fastest.

I’m furious about this!

I think it’s time we drop the economic hammer on Japan and boycott them across the board!

There is even a neat website (see link below) called “Boycott Japan” that has some detailed and interesting information on how to boycott products from Japan and get the anti-whaling message to these people.

I’m not an advocate of anyone going to extreme measures to enforce (no matter how right, just and humane) an act on another society.

In this case though I’m sick of the arrogance and disregard Japan displays to the world (be it historical revisionism in the atrocities they committed in WWII or whaling) that I think heavy handed measures should be taken.

I’d be thrilled to see the world’s navies intercept these whaling ships, order the crews off, haul them into ports and scrap them.

The stance that this is a “cultural” aspect of Japan’s society is a joke. These are the same people that used sex slaves for the army as late as WWII.
