The Japanese Whale hunt will remain.

Booooo. 

I hate whale hunting, and although I can see the history behind it, I think it's time to re-visit the practice of this and think about what benefit this is really having, if any, on the environment..

Good story.

I also agree it is time to end all whale hunting.

thanks for the info, nice post.

Scandal: Japan's whalers caught redhanded           Greenpeace Japan's Junichi Sato displaying the stolen whale meat to the media. ©Greenpeace/Naomi Toyoda


It's been a busy few days for the Defending Whales Team in Tokyo, Japan:

"Stake outs, testimony from informers, hidden cameras and tailing trucks full of stolen goods - it reads like a Hollywood movie, but it was an every day experience for Greenpeace activists in Japan, who have spent four months cracking open a major conspiracy of corruption at the heart of Japan's government-backed, sham scientific whaling operation."

Extreme mercury levels revealed in whalemeat

* 10:32 06 June 2002 by Andy Coghlan

www.newscientist.com/article/dn2362-extreme-mercury-level...

Tests on whalemeat on sale in Japan have revealed astonishing levels of mercury. While it has long been known that the animals accumulate heavy metals such as mercury in their tissues, the levels discovered have surprised even the experts.

Two of the 26 liver samples examined contained over 1970 micrograms of mercury per gram of liver. That is nearly 5000 times the Japanese government's limit for mercury contamination, 0.4 micrograms per gram.

At these concentrations, a 60-kilogram adult eating just 0.15 grams of liver would exceed the weekly mercury intake considered safe by the World Health Organization, say Tetsuya Endo, Koichi Haraguchi and Masakatsu Sakata at the University of Hokkaido, who carried out the research. "Acute intoxication could result from a single ingestion," they warn in a draft paper accepted for publication in The Science of the Total Environment.

The researchers call on the government to impose tighter regulations on the consumption of whale organs. In particular, they warn that pregnant women risk poisoning their unborn children. In the 1950s and early 1960s, hundreds of children around Japan's Minamata Bay were born with horrific birth defects after their mothers ate seafood contaminated with mercury compounds, which had been poured raw into the bay since the 1930s. Thousands more suffered brain damage.
Single mouthful

Even veteran researchers from the Minamata saga were shocked by the new figures. "Hirokatsu Akagi, a director of the National Institute for Minamata Disease, was very surprised," says Endo. "He'd never seen levels above 20 micrograms per gram."

On average, concentrations of mercury in whale and dolphin livers were 370 micrograms per gram, 900 times the government limit. Average levels in kidneys and lungs were also high, about 100 times the limit. None of the samples was below the limit.

In work not yet published, Endo's team has shown that rats suffered acute kidney poisoning after a single mouthful of the most highly contaminated liver. While levels were lower in muscle, Endo told New Scientist that on average it still contained 2.5 to 25 times the limit.

The samples came from small-toothed whales and dolphins, catches of which are not restricted by the International Whaling Commission, the international body that regulates whaling. Mercury becomes concentrated in their internal organs when they eat contaminated fish and squid.

Japan continues to campaign vigorously to be allowed to resume full-scale whaling of larger species. But an IWC meeting in May 2002 ended in deadlock.

Activists from Greenpeace Japan meet the whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru with a banner saying "FAILED" as it arrives in Tokyo, Japan to unload whale meat for sale.      o1504082-15th April 2008 - TOKYO, JAPAN
Activists from Greenpeace Japan meet the whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru with a banner saying "FAILED" as it arrives in Tokyo, Japan to unload whale meat for sale. The ship failed to meet its quota of 935 whales by nearly half, in part because the Greenpeace ship Esperanza stopped the entire whaling operation for 15 days as it chased the Nisshin Maru across the Southern Ocean, over a distance of 4300 miles.

Whaling and dealing: Tell the US to stop negotiating at the expense of whales - President Obama wants to stop Southern Ocean Whaling - now is your chance!           We have received worrying rumours of a political deal that could result in increased whaling off the coast of Japan - threatening already endangered whales. We need your your help in ensuring that this deal is killed off - and not the whales.

Sea Shepherd in Taiji, November 2003

Back in October 2003, Captain Paul Watson sent a team to Taiji, Japan to document the slaughter of the dolphins. The video and photos of that campaign made international headlines and the exposed atrocities of the Japanese dolphin killers to the world.

In November 2003, Sea Shepherd crewmembers Allison Lance of the United States and Alex Cornelissen of the Netherlands cut the nets and freed 15 dolphins, saving them from slaughter. They were both jailed for three weeks before being released and they were both quite happy to trade three weeks of their freedom for the lives of the dolphins.

In response to the freeing of the dolphins and the exposure of the slaughter, the Taiji fishermen erected huge tarp barricades to keep the killing from being documented and it became a crime to wear a Sea Shepherd shirt or hat or to be a member of Sea Shepherd in Taiji.

Sea Shepherd did return in October 2007 along with World champion free surfer Dave Rastovich and celebrities Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) and Isabel Lucas (Transformers Revenge of the Fallen). Sea Shepherd crewmember Simeon Houtman accompanied the surfers and once again the slaughter was given worldwide coverage.

The Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS) had to find a way to film on the other side of the barricades where the slaughter was taking place.

OPS invested some big bucks and covertly planted cameras on the beaches, in the air, underwater and in the hills to capture every horrific detail of one of the cruelest and most monstrous massacres of wildlife on the planet.

The result is "The Cove," one of the most extraordinary wildlife crime films ever produced. This film documents and exposes the Taiji dolphin slaughter dramatically, effectively, covertly, and magnificently.

Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson was interviewed for this film in June 2008 in Santiago, Chile during the meeting of the International Whaling Commission and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is very proud to be associated with this powerful indictment of the Japanese dolphin slaughter.

The film has now been acquired by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions for distribution in the United States. The U.K.-based the Works Intl., in conjunction with James Atherton's Quickfire Films Fund, has acquired all other territories. In addition, Participant Media has signed on to perform outreach for "The Cove," working with nonprofits and community groups.

The film is an Oceanic Preservation Society presentation of a Jim Clark production, in association with Diamond Docs and SkyFish Films. The film is produced by Paula DuPre Pesmen and Fisher Stevens and executive produced by Jim Clark.

whaleboatblog           Dear Friends,

Photo: Beautifully restored Icelandic fishing boats, now used for whale watching. The people of Iceland have chosen a new Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir. A well known opponent Iceland's whaling whaling, before the election, Ms Sigurdardottir's interim government made clear its opposition to Iceland’s whaling legacy.

In the coming month, while the Prime Minister and her colleagues are busy creating a new government and working to regenerate the nation’s economy, Iceland has a real chance to end decades of damaging policy, by becoming a world leader in whale conservation.

Click here to write to Iceland's Prime Minister now.

Please ask Ms Sigurdardottir to make the best of this important opportunity: by cancelling Iceland's five year commercial whaling quota, and ensuring that Iceland's representative at this year’s International Whaling Commission meeting votes for whale conservation, firmly establishing Iceland as an environmental model for other nations to follow.

All of us,

The whale hunt continues Posted by Irene onboard the Esperanza           Whaling in the Southern Ocean
Two years ago: what they do not
want you and me to see.
©Greenpeace/Kate Davison
The Oceanic Viking reports that at least five whales have been killed in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. I am sad, angry and frustrated.

We chased the factory ship the Nisshin Maru over a distance of 4,300 nautical miles. During that time no whales were killed. When we had to leave the Australian surveillance vessel Oceanic Viking had arrived. If the whaling fleet have "only" killed five whales so far, it means that the whaling fleet didn't resume whaling immediately, but I guess they got desperate to try and fill their quota. It is very difficult to find anything positive to say today.

Media coverage and public discussion on the whaling issue has reached unprecedented levels in Japan, and Prime Minister Fukuda has been forced to discuss the whaling issue in Parliament.

Japanese taxpayers must be wondering why they are funding this scandalous fake research operation which produces no real science, whale meat that very few wants to eat, and brings their country into international disrepute.

The Japanese government wants to "normalise" the International Whaling Commission, and overthrow the moratorium on commercial whaling. Bloody pictures of whales being killed in the Southern Ocean do not serve this purpose.

Navio de ONG se choca com baleeiro japonês no mar da Antártida
Do UOL Notícias*
Em São Paulo
O navio da ONG "Sea Shepherd" ("pastor do mar") colidiu contra um navio de pesca de baleias quando tentava impedir a ação predatória da embarcação, no mar da Antártida. Nenhum dos tripulantes dos dois navios se feriu na colisão, que causou estragos leves no baleeiro japonês, informou o grupo ativista.
O navio dos ativistas se aproximou do baleeiro japonês no momento em que os tripulantes tentavam içar uma baleia morta a bordo. "Estávamos tentando bloquear o navio para que eles não conseguissem alcançar a baleia, mas quando nos movemos, o Yushin Maru 1 (barco japonês) veio em nossa direção", afirmou o capitão do navio ativista, Paul Watson.

"Não consegui fazer qualquer manobra sem bater no navio. Tentei recuar, mas a colisão foi inevitável", disse o capitão em comunicado.

O ato causou indignação das autoridades japonesas. "Consideramos o ocorrido um ato de violência imperdoável", disse porta-voz da Agência de Pescas japonesa, Shigeki Takaya.

O governo da Nova Zelândia já se manifestou contra a atividade dos baleeiros em seus mares, mas pediu que uma solução pacífica seja estudada.

Este foi o segundo incidente envolvendo a ONG em poucos dias. No início da semana, ativistas da "Sea Shepherd" acusaram caçadores de baleia de ferir dois

ambientalistas em águas antárticas. Um deles teria sido atingido por jatos d'água com grande pressão e o outro por uma bola de metal, segundo a ONG.

Uma moratória à caça comercial de baleias existe desde 1986, mas o Japão afirma caçar na Antártida com fins científicos. Estima-se que a caça de baleias tem causado a morte de cerca de 900 animais por ano.

O MUNDO PRECISA VALORIZAR O TRABALHO DOS ATIVISTAS E DE TODOS QUE PROCURAM DIMINUIR OS ASSASSINATOS DOS ANIMAIS QUE SOFREM PARA SUSTENTAR A VAIDADE, A AMBIÇÃO E O PRAZER DA PRÁTICA DO CRIME CONTRA A NATUREZA E CONTRA OS SERES HUMANOS QUE SE IMPORTAM COM A QUALIDADE DE VIDA DO PLANETA E, COM A DOR DOS SERES QUE NÃO PODEM SE DEFENDER DOS BÁRBAROS.

End Whale & Dolphin Slaughter in the Faroe Islands!
Target:Prime Minister Jannes Eidesgaard
Sponsored by: John Koehler

www.thepetitionsite.com/1/end-whale-dolphin-s

Whales are sensitive, social animals with highly developed nervous systems. They have a profound capacity to suffer distress, terror and pain. Each year, the Faroese kill pilot whales and other small cetaceans.

Islanders in motorboats first drive the whales into a bay. The chase may be lengthy. The exhausted, terrified and confused whales are eventually driven into the shallows. Here the bloodbath begins. The islanders repeatedly hammer 2.2 kg metal gaffs into the living flesh of each whale until the hooks hold. A 15 cm knife is then used to slash through the blubber and flesh to the spinal column. Next the main blood vessels are severed. The blood-stained bay is soon filled with horribly mutilated and dying whales.

The Faroese celebrate the butchery of their victims in an carnival atmosphere of entertainment. Indoctrinated from an early age, children are often given a day off school to watch the fun. They run down to the bay and clamber over the carcasses of slaughtered whales.

Every year around 2,000 whales are driven ashore and cruelly slaughtered in the Faroe Islands, mid-way between the Shetland Islands and Iceland. For centuries the Faroe Islanders have hunted pilot whales, driving entire schools into killing bays, where they are speared or gaffed from boats, dragged ashore and butchered with knives. Although the Islands are a protectorate of Denmark, they have their own Government and regulations governing the pilot whale hunt or "grind" as it is known.

Aside from the fact that the number of North Atlantic long-finned pilot whales is unknown and they are listed as 'strictly protected' by the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, this is an act of barbarism and pointlessness. By slaughtering 100 whales at a time, the Faroese are wiping out entire pods and family groups. They are removing building blocks from the gene pool of the species and damaging the web of life in the North Atlantic and the North Sea.

The drive hunt is a practice abandoned elsewhere many decades ago, and now outlawed by other European states. The inhabitants of the Faroe Islands have no subsistence need for whale meat, and much of the flesh is left to rot and be dumped; it cannot be exported, as it is polluted with heavy metals and other toxins and therefore cannot meet EU heath standards for human food.

According to Faroese legislation it is also permitted to hunt certain species of small cetaceans other than pilot whales. These include: Bottlenose dolphin; Atlantic white-beaked dolphin; Atlantic white-sided dolphin; and Harbour porpoise (There are also specific regulations for the hunting of harbour porpoise. Harbour porpoises are killed with shotguns).
