How Greenpeace Wrecked One of the Most Sacred Places in the Americas
"TIME FOR CHANGES" plastered over a sacred site in Peru - how

Greenpeace stay with what you know best and don't tamper with heritage
sites to advertise your stupidity. We wonder, is your
"Future Renewable"? Think before you act!

Japan Vows to Resume Whaling for “Science”
Laws and treaties mean nothing to Japan as it prepares to go
back to the Antarctic to kill 330 Minke whales each year for the next 12
years. The International Whaling Commission does not have the power to
stop them - so get out and protest!

The Faroese Seek to Suppress Dissent
Commentary by Captain Paul Watson
In their quest to continue the barbaric slaughter of pilot whales and
dolphins, Faroese lawmakers are looking at eroding their own democracy
by banning Sea Shepherd from entering the Faroe Islands.
If they do, Sea Shepherd will find other means to disrupt the horrific
slaughter of these intelligent, self aware, socially complex sentient
beings. Our opposition to the slaughter will never cease. We will fight
this horror on the water, in the courts and in the European Parliament
until the Faroes comes to respect the sanctity of cetacean lives like
the rest of Europe.
First this article states that Sea Shepherd is a threat to the Grindacrap. And then it states that Sea Shepherd had no effect. Last year between June and October over 1,300 whales and dolphins were massacred. This season while Sea Shepherd crew were on the ground and on the water, only 33 pilot whales were killed. When Sea Shepherd was there in 2011, no whales were killed that summer.
The facts speak for themselves and Sea Shepherd volunteers saved hundreds of lives no matter how the whalers deny this. And they are obviously afraid that Sea Shepherd will save more lives if they are looking at taking extremist measures to stop Sea Shepherd from entering the country.
It was amusing to read how people who viciously slaughter cetaceans, with their bodies covered in blood from spurting wounds as they slash and stab these creatures to death then call Sea Shepherd terrorists when not a single Sea Shepherd volunteer has ever injured a single whaler. Sea Shepherd crew were violently assaulted yet in the minds of the whale killers, preventing sentient beings from being ruthlessly massacred is terrorism.
However if they should succeed in enacting legislation to stop Sea Shepherd from entering the Faroes, there are other ways of effectively obstructing the killing of the pilot whales and dolphins.
Passion plus courage plus imagination are the ingredients required for innovating new strategies and tactics.

Japan Has Become the Ocean Fool on the Issue of Whaling
.jpg)
by Captain Paul Watson
Japan
has fooled all of the nations some of the time and still fools some of
the nations some of the time but they can no longer fool all of the
nations all of the time. Japanese "scientific" whaling is a fraud. It is
a lie and it is a barbaric, inhumane flaunting of international law.
Japanese whaling has been found to be in contempt of the Australian
Federal Court. It has been condemned as a fraud by the International Court
of Justice and it has not been sanctioned by the International Whaling
Commission. And now it looks like the New York Times has made their
position clear on the bogus research activities of the Japanese whalers.
There will be no whale
slaughter for the 2014/2015 season. Japan has set a target for 333
whales for the 2015/2016 season. They have not been able to get even
that number due to interventions by Sea Shepherd Global ships over the
last few years. They need at least 600 whales to break even so mass
subsidies will continue to support this pathetic industry at the cost to
Japanese taxpayers and to the shame of all Japanese citizens.
Japan want to continue killing whales for scientific research that simply is nothing more than research in name for the purpose of providing whale meat to people who do not wish to eat it and thus it is stored in warehouses for years at great expense with the hope that the people will change their minds forgetting that the only reason Japanese people ate whale meat in the first place is that after WW II they did not have any choice. It beat boiling leather shoes for soup.
Whaling and the dolphin slaughter are turning Japan into an embarrassment in the international community, a nation that kills what most of the rest of the world cherishes and respects.
People like Joji Morishita need to realize that Japan is no longer a nation of desperate blubber chewers. Japanese people are becoming far too sophisticated and aware of the serious ecological and conservation issues in the world and the Institute for Cetacean Research simply does not represent modern Japanese views.
Whaling is a dead industry. The problem is that entrenched Japanese bureaucrats and politicians have not accepted the inevitable.
In order to resume commercial whaling the factory ship Nisshin Maru needs to be replaced. This will be an investment of between $100 and $200 million dollars. This will be difficult to justify so that explains the heavy lobbying of the politicians.
Will they get it? I would not be surprised. Politicians everywhere love to waste money in exchange for a kick-back.
