Must be culinary research, because the Japanese still eat the things.

Australia said Japan was violating the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW) by killing whales for research purposes

Did they agree to it?

If they did, they should either honor it or formally withdraw from it.

Their legal pretext doesn't impress anyone. They should just drop it.

I wonder if the Aussies would feel better if the whales were called “aquatic kangaroos”?

Why is it “racist” to bring up Japanese war crimes during World War II (”You can’t criticize another culture!”) but it’s okay to sit in judgment on their whaling???

Whale sushi is delicious. But then again, so is raw horse sushi.

I usuually side with Australia, but not this time. Japan is conducting legal by IWC rules, hunts of non-endangered whales.

You know, no one has been able to explain to me why I am supposed to give a crap about whales in the first place. Do you want deer hunting banned also? If not, you are a hypocrit.
