Do you think it's necessary to kill "up to 50 humpbacks" in the name of science? Should the Japanese be punished in some way? Can you understand the Japanese position?
Please share any thoughts you have on this story.
Thanks.

It makes me sick just thinking about it.. not in the name of science, not for food sake... nothing. I can't stand it.. it makes me want to cry just thinking about it. I think the US should police other nations to keep these beautiful animals from going extinct.

This actually made me physically sick to my stomach. It is barbaric, and in my opinion, totally unacceptable. I am so sick of hearing that it's a "tradition going back hundreds of years." People back then had to do what they could to survive. That's understandable. For anyone in today's society to sit there and defend the slaughter of such intelligent, peaceful creatures in the name of science is sickening to me. I also can't believe that they call the people trying to stop them "terrorists." Are the terroroists the people throwing nets over propellors or are they the whalers using harpoons? And yes, I think the Japanese should be punished in some way. Whaling is cruel, and that's the bottom line.

i thinks its really sad that they have to be killed, can't they just be captured and taken for observations. i guess since its for science the Japanese really aren't at fault. I hope that what ever they need the whales for goes well.

I think what the japanese do is their own business. Too many liberals are so against the US policing the world. This applies to how they hunt too.

Well, I don't really think they should kill animals, but I'd rather have animals die than humans.
They have Animal Rights Activists protesting animal slaughter, but people do nothing about abortion.
Messed up.
