You sound as if you believe that there is a long term plan unlike yesteryear. By all means, clue us in on what it is and who is implementing it. Long term plans needed to be laid long ago so things wouldn't get to where they are now because then it's too late. All there is now is the short term because everything is running out. |

I'm going to side with the batlord on this one. Killing off whales was a ****ty thing then and it's a ****ty thing now, but why should I (or greenpeace) feel like hypocrits about it?
Why do people need to identify with what their nationality/race/whatever did before they were born? Which isn't to say I agree with what greenpeace has done here, mind you. |

The whale's habitat and food sources are vanishing at an unsustainable rate. If you have too many whales, it vanishes that much quicker. Their numbers must be necessarily small because a single adult humpback whale eats 5000 lbs or more of plankton a day--two and half tons--every day. With plankton vanishing faster than it can reproduce, how long do you think that can go on?
The whale will be extinct or nearly extinct by 2100 and will go the route of other animals as the honeybee, the tiger, the polar bear, the koala bear and the rhinoceros. I just read today that a Northern white rhino died leaving only 4 or 5 left--in the world--and those live in captivity. And we can't keep whales in captivity like that, it has already been discussed and dismissed as unworkable. We needed to address this problem decades ago and didn't and so now we pay the price. And pointing fingers is just stupid. |

But that's all you've been doing. Pointing fingers at Greenpeace for being hypocrites. Pointing fingers at Quakers for killing so many whales in the first place. Now all you're doing is saying to let the Japanese kill whales, almost as if you just want to spite Greenpeace.
