oh the bastards:

Japan to end 32 years of international agreement to resume whaling


21 dec 2018

Japan, already singled out for its cetacean killings under the guise of "scientific research", plans to break the international moratorium on whaling to be able to relaunch this trade in the country.

After several months of threats, Japan would have decided to leave the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to formally resume commercial whaling. According to Japanese media, their government's arguments: some whales threatened with extinction have recovered. But had Japan only stopped hunting one day?

Each year, the country legally kills between 200 and 1200 whales. Although the meat ends up in supermarkets, this fishing is done under the guise of "scientific research". A derogation authorized by the CBI in 1986, the year of the international ban on whaling, after certain species were announced endangered. Japan therefore remains limited and monitored for the time being in its management of cetacean capture. A problem according to the representatives of Japan on the commission, because according to them, eating whales is part of their culture.

A decision pending

The Japan Fisheries Agency told the BBC that Japan was considering "all possible options" but "had not yet made a decision". There has therefore been no official confirmation regarding Japan's departure from the CBI, but according to NHK, the government has already informed MPs of this decision. Citing anonymous government sources, the Kyodo news agency also said an official announcement could be made next week.

This departure is nevertheless expected since in September 2018, the country suffered a refusal from the other members concerning the resumption of whaling, with 41 votes against 27. Among the nations favorable to commercial whaling, several s 'expected the moratorium to be temporary, pending consensus on "sustainable" catch quotas.

Defenders of the environment on the alert

Environmental activists have warned that by withdrawing from the IWC, Japan risks becoming a "nation of pirate whaling." Darren Kindleysides, Managing Director of the Australian Marine Conservation Society, said: "Leaving the IWC would set a very dangerous precedent for other international treaties and conventions. Not content with harpooning whales, it now appears that Japan is threatening to harpoon the future of the CBI. "

The "Grindadrap" (or Whale Fair) did take place in this year 2018 in the Faroe Islands:



The Faroe Islands are a Danish archipelago in the north of Scotland and Denmark is a member of the EU.

Scandinavians are the biggest consumers of whale meat per inhabitant but we say almost nothing: they are Europeans ...

In the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland, whaling is traditional with limited harvest.
In the case of Japan, it seems to be industrial and offbeat in view of the techno-economic power of the country that is controversial.

Perhaps it would be urgent to understand that this destruction is actually "logical" Purchase of credit plus cash, and that the next step is that of our disappearance ...

I think we can always avoid this kind of flood if we take control.

Cathyz22, welcome! 8) You write:

"Getting back in hand" is a good way of expressing the need to stop surrendering to determinism; the fact of being aware of these (it is also necessary to have a precise awareness of them) shows that they are not absolute. However, their massive character and the entanglement of our existences with these determinisms leave little hope on this side. The dynamism of the dissipation of energy is such that it even creeps into the minds of most opponents of its most obvious forms to elicit second forms, less brutal and more insidious, but nevertheless reinforcing the model. .. : roll:

Whaling is no less traditional in Japan than in the Scandinavian countries. The Japanese have been practicing it for centuries:

Norway or Iceland are rich countries, technically and economically very advanced. The GDP per capita is much higher than that of the Japanese, and also ... the consumption of whale meat. But nothing is said (or almost nothing).

For Japan, we are talking about a "harvest" of about 1000 whales per year for scientific purposes (that is to say jerk off!): Fin whales (second largest animal on earth), Sperm whales, Minke whales Bryde's whales.
For Norway it is 1000 also but with real catches not exceeding 500, mainly Minke Whales.
For Iceland it is about 150 / year (Minke Whales).

Quite the same opinion, it's foutage mouth. They should go open to commercial hunting as the Norwegians do, we could not talk about fucking mouths:

It's done: this morning, Japan announced that it was leaving the International Whaling Commission.

He therefore joined European countries such as Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands where whale hunting is an "old tradition" (like bullfighting here).
