If you have any sense of compassion and decency then you will take your part in the fight against Japan to help save Marine life from being brutally slaughtered.
You hear about it in the news:
"Japanese killed pregnant whales - MORE than half the whales killed by Japanese whalers in the Antarctic last summer were pregnant females, a study of their own records has found. "
"Protests urge end to dolphin slaughter - ANIMAL liberationists in Melbourne today joined protesters around the world in demanding the Japanese Government put an end to the slaughter of dolphins. Two dozen protesters demonstrated outside the Japanese Consulate in Melbourne to bring public attention to the practice, which they say kills about 20,000 dolphins every year."
"Slaughtered minke whales were pregnant - JAPAN whalers say it is good news that almost all of the female minke whales they killed in Antarctic waters last season were pregnant because it shows the population is increasing."
"Grim plan threatens humpbacks - AUSTRALIA's humpback migration season officially begins this weekend amid a culling plan from Japan that could threaten their survival."
"Back to whaling days - HARSH memories of a bloodthirsty hunting era are viscerally conjured at a museum housed at a former WA whaling station."
"Aussie TV star confronts whale fishermen - LOGIE award-winning Australian actor Isabel Lucas has joined a high-profile protest in Japan at the site where thousands of pilot whales are slaughtered every year."

Do NOT buy anything Made In Japan
Do NOT support any companies with financial ties to Japan
Do NOT purchase any fish which were caught with nets.
When you do purchase an item or do a business deal, make sure you ask if their company supports Mass Whale / Dolphin / Shark slaughter and cruelty.
Get the message out there!
It is a documented fact that these fisherman (aka MURDERERS) will cut off the fins and throw the live carcass back into the sea. Leaving them unable to swim and merely to sink to the bottom and slowly and painfully die. And for what? To get a fucking hard on?!
Sometimes fisherman use live dogs as Bait!
Their brutal slayings don't stop here. It isn't just Marine life.
Read about it. Tell the world.
Write to your Local Council, your State officials and the Federal Government.
Talk about it, then SCREAM about it!
We need to get our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and stop the bloody Japanese once and for all!
There are plenty of Animal Welfare organisations you can support in the fight against Japan.

Going by your trail of thought we should boycott the US for going to war without real reason or we should boycott china for human rights violations among many other whole countries for reasons far graver than killing whales and dolphins.
Your opinions are incredibly disjointed and while there is some importance in what you'r'e saying it's lost amongst the 'iraq war' and 'murderer' accusations and blanket boycott ideas you're throwing around.

The US went to war to remove a violator of human rights! And many other countries supported that decision. Should we have left Iraq to fend for themselves against this rule of atrocity? They didn't seem to be doing too well on their own if I remember correctly!
I quote: "When you do purchase an item or do a business deal, make sure you ask if their company supports Mass Whale / Dolphin / Shark slaughter and cruelty."
I'm sure you can then make your decision whether to engage with that company from their response if you support this fight against Animal Cruelty.
I will however tell you right now, that I am not one to support many 'human causes' because humans are scum! We rape the planet, kill each other and harm the innocent! In this case, once again, it's animals!
You either support the fight against acts of Animal Cruelty and will help to stop this atrocity or you don't.

Without making this overly political the UN did not support Americas actions when going to war save for a select few countries (Australia being one). Defying the international community like what Japan is doing here (only more blatantly) makes htem worse than dolphin killers, especially when humans are dying as a result.
You sound an awful lot like a militant here, that suddenly it's all black and white and humans are worse than animals so it's all for the human causes. lets not forget the with us or against us mentality. Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing every dolphin killed in this manner if it put a stop to something like aids, but then again, I care more for poeple.

Take a look around and think about what you are saying. How did Aids come about in the first place? Another fine example of human ignorance.
I'm not a militant, I don't go kicking in doors, shooting millions of people and stripping them of all their pride and morals! I'm just one voice for the millions of innocent lives that people like you take for granted every day.
If you think for a second that humans are better than animals you are kidding yourself.
I'm not saying that every single Japanese person out there is in league with the Whalers. I'm saying that they had better come up with a better solution to their eating habits.
They're not conducting scientific research, they are conducting mass murder. And until they change their ways people like myself should do what small part we can in trying to change their ways. If it's a stint in their financial growth then so be it!
If you think money is worth more than an animals life you're a bloody idiot! And it is rather black and white as you put it, you either care about animals or you don't! And you, Ahmed, obviously don't.

You are a militant because you lay down such verdicts as "You either support the fight against acts of Animal Cruelty and will help to stop this atrocity or you don't" and imply that 'you either agree with me in the same manner as me' or 'you don't' ala 'you're either with us or you're with the terrorists'.
Oh thats bloody ridiculous, we are better than them, unless you want to go and compare the holocaust to whats happening here you probably agree.
Which goes to show what you know of Japanese culture. This isn't a staple of their food, it's just an industry thats based in Japan trying to profit from it.
I wouldn't call it 'murder' but they should stop because they're driving extinction.
well that depends, I mean money is worth more than animal life in a few ways, for instance food. Chickens and all that, we kill them, sell them, cook them then eat them. Their lives are something you put a price tag on because they're a commodity and killing them isn't murder and eating them is not cannibalism.
I mean sure, if it gets to a point when we are abusing the commodity then it's more of a criminal offense (like with this japanese industry). By and large I do care, but only from a rational well thought out perspective.

And still with the militant thing... Grow up!
The Japanese could profit more with Whale watching than murdering Whales. And it is murder. The taking of another's life is in effect 'Murder'.
The fact remains that the Japanese are slaughtering Whales, Sharks and Dolphins relentlessly. The masses need to stand up and do what they can to enlighten their Goverment and to put a stop to this atrocity once and for all.

You said that human life is not worth more than animal life, I called you on that claim. If you can't rebuff it then you have to concede your statement was wrong.
You might want to put your thinking cap on,
From Oxford
Animals are not in the same league as humans and the only reason killing them for profit should be stopped is if it is inhumane in nature or pushing the animal in question to extinction. To put fancy words like 'murder' into the mix doesn't help your cause, it only shows your delusional viewpoint that animals lives are worth as much as human lives.

So now I'm delusional?! Interesting.
You said, "Animals are not in the same league as humans and the only reason killing them for profit should be stopped is if it is inhumane in nature or pushing the animal in question to extinction."
And what are your views as to what is 'inhumane' and 'pushing something to extinction'?
Is cutting off the fins whilst the Shark is alive then dumping it's body back into the ocean not inhumane?
Is slaughtering pregnant Whales not inhumane?
Is using live dogs for bait not inhumane?
Do you not realise that by killing all the Whales and Dolphins to such a degree it is effectively sending them to extinction?!
It is also ruining other 'humane' countries tourism industries. If there are no Dolphins or Whales to watch how will those companies survive?
Now which one of us is not doing the thinking here?

To begin with, Ahmed's bout of character assassination is completely puerile and untenable. Perhaps he should look up the meaning of the word 'militant' before throwing it around so casually. Dea's compassion for animals is completely fervent and the world needs more people like her.
The fact is that the Japanese cultures' condonation of animal exploitation purely for their own profligacy is nauseating, and I personally would rather harpoon one of them than a defenceless animal.

You're wrong here too, I guess stupidity runs in the family?
You've successfully shown some humans are stupid. If you love your animals then by all means, what are you doing blogging here? Shouldn't you be serving them considering how exploited they are? You're extreme delusions show why animal rights are being abused, the only people defending them are outright morons.
Kill something in a manner it cuases it pain is inhumane, and I don't think Ineed to get into the obviousness of what 'pushing something to extinction' means.
Is slaughtering pregnant Whales not inhumane?
Is using live dogs for bait not inhumane?
Do you read my posts or do you just go and jump to conclusions not a sign of your arrogance and emotions dominating your views?
See I believe in this little thing called rationality. No matter how extreme the circumstances it is clear that you are over reacting thanks to your emotions, this very post title was 'boycott japan' in which through your lack of understanding into the nature of the japanese whaling industry (which you still dont seem tounderstand *is an* industry, not a country) you claim Japan should be boycott.
It is also ruining other 'humane' countries tourism industries. If there are no Dolphins or Whales to watch how will those companies survive?
Where did I say anything implying any of that? I do think whats happening is wrong, but I'm not overreacting and claiming animal life is worth so much nor am I as stupid as you to imply humans are scum and coupled with my 'oh animal life is so worth human life' implying that animals somehow are inherintly superior.
Define 'thinking', since in your world it's reacting emotionally and throwing around basless accusations at people who want to make you stop and 'think'

Sure Ahmed, I think we all know that it is you who is over-reacting here today.
Are you really that bored that you must sit there and insult a few folk that actually give a damn about lives other than themselves?!
Get a life.

As for your: 'I guess stupidity runs in the family' comment is concerned, what on earth makes you think that I'm related to someone on this blog? That's the problem with degenerates like you. You make too many assumptions.

Thing is, anons don't get emails notifying them of new comments on a post they commented so this anon guy is either unhealthily obsessed (i.e. refreshing the page continuously) with this blog ooooor you're just fabricating anon.
Throw on the fact anon posted twice abot a minute after you in a row and you begin to get the picture that I'm finding it hard to believe anon really isn't at all related to you, feels more like anon is you
If you care to not overreact and throw around baseless accusations you will understand that just because someone does not take a totalitarian approach as you do (and ignores clearly defined meaning of words in dictionaries while they're at it
So take a deep breath and try to understand that you've made a fool out of yourself here, at least to the vast majority of people in the world will go 'wha?' to your claims that animal life is somehow on the same level as human life then further imply humans are somehow less than animals.
Like I said, if killing every dolphin in the world by cutting their fins and letting them drown ended AIDS I would whole heartedly support it. Thats just a statement on how I compare animals to humans, different league all together. I'm sure you would however rather humans die because animals are so precious, at least thats what your views are essentially saying.
You might want to hink about that, it shows how you are emotionally responding to whats happening here (your blog post is nothing more than cherry picked quotes you're using to potray what you feel) before attacking Japans culture baselessly, you have no clue to what extent the impact of whales have on japanese produce nor do you have any understanding of japanese culture yet you speak about it like you know something.
Just so you know, you're not a compassionate person if you value animal life as high as human life, it's all that 'jews are like monkeys' thing all over again except you're saying we're all like animals if not less.
and with that I leave you (and anon).

Ahmed, you are an absolute tool! While I have appreciated your somewhat bizarre interest in my post, I'm rather sick of your pathetic and mindless comments.
I'm neither embarressed nor ashamed about anything I've said. I stand up for what I believe in and obviously you have a problem with that. So if you don't like it, go away.
Brett, thank you for your comments I appreciate your support.
