jonk User ID: 354765 Australia 01/16/2008 09:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bloody death for the whales Greenpeace rejects By Khalil Hegarty, senior consultant at ITS Global, a trade and environment consulting group: Every year in the peaceful island cluster of the Faeroe Islands, a protectorate of Denmark, an event called the grindadráp takes place. The local fishermen herd a pod of pilot whales into harbour. Once there, they are driven into knee-deep water where men from the small Faeroese population kill them by cutting their spinal cords by hand. In 2006, they killed in excess of 800 whales. Yet Greenpeace has never seriously campaigned against the whaling practices of the Faeroese. And it has never campaigned heavily against whaling nations Norway, Iceland or Russia. Greenpeace doesn’t send the Esperanza in pursuit of European vessels when other whale activists do. Instead, it concentrates its efforts away from Europe. Why? It’s not because these European nations have a significantly smaller catch than the Japanese. Alongside the Faeroese, the Norwegians take roughly 600 whales per year, making a total of close to 1,400 whales compare to Japan’s average of roughly 750 since 2000. No, the bias in Greenpeace’s Asia-centric whaling campaign is about headlines and fundraising rather than the whales themselves. Anti-whaling is a cause celebre in Australia – particularly against the Japanese. Chasing a whaling ship out of neighbouring waters makes for good copy in a slow news period and contributes significantly to Greenpeace’s membership coffers. Yet if the same actions took place in Norway and Denmark there would be a considerable backlash that would erode Greenpeace’s supporter base. As Sea Shepherd Captain and Greenpeace co-founder Paul Watson has stated, "when it comes to whaling, some nations are more tolerated than others by Greenpeace." For example, in 2005, during the northern hemisphere whaling season, the Esperanza was in Norway. According to Sea Shepherd Paul Watson, the ship was devoting its time to collecting water samples. But at the same time, Greenpeace was running an anti-whaling campaign in South Korea, where an International Whaling Commission was about to be held. Campaigns by Greenpeace against companies like Apple and Shell have singled them out not because they were the worst offenders, but because they are the easiest targets for grabbing headlines in an increasingly crowded and sensitive environmental donations market. This was highlighted in 2006 when a draft press release from the Greenpeace USA office was accidentally sent to the media featuring the text "FILL IN ALARMIST AND ARMAGEDDONIST FACTOID HERE." This raises an ethical concern. In their campaigns and lobbying activity, Greenpeace constantly call on governments and the public to take an objective and scientific view in debates on issues like climate change, forestry in developing countries and nuclear power and set out priorities accordingly. The question is, does Greenpeace do the same, or are they simply staging a fundraiser? |
Ossie bloke User ID: 355480 Australia 01/16/2008 02:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You whale huggers are a bunch poofter wankers. Oh look mummy, those nasty men are killing whales. A half school outing at an abattoir would set things straight for some of these pussies. For most whales life is so boring most would probably wouldn't notice being dead because it wouldn't make much difference. Personally, I am not even sure if whales have any comprehension of pain and death, and most species are not going to become extinct anytime soon. It is the whale huggers that are more in danger of extinction. When I was a surfer, large whales were quite commonly seen breaching less than 2 km's from us, so it ain't like they are just images on a foxtel wildlife doco for me. As for killing dolphins, that is another matter entirely. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 356011I'm curious at your response. Do you have the same hatrad of other nations that eat whale meat or are you just racist against the Japanese? I'm an American born and raised in America and don't feel the way you do. Frankly, when a island nation that doesn't have sufficient land mass to raise and cultivate food, it is forced to find food sources elsewhere or diversity their dependence on imported foods. The sea is like a huge pasture, and while I don't eat whale meat, many cultures do. I wish whales were off limits of the human food chain, but instead, can you suggest a better way to help a nation solve it's food problem rather than resort to what seems to be racist retherotic. |

Spacey One User ID: 356898 Australia 01/19/2008 05:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wasn't really being sarcastic. But I personally like to believe the new age stuff I read about whales being spiritually important to the planet, but didn't want to get it into it. But if they are, it would be nice if we as humans could show some appreciation of them and compassion for them. I personally don't approve of the whaling, as since our nation stopped hunting them, they have began to come closer to the shore and into populated harbours, giving us a chance to see and interact with them. I would not like to see them become people-shy again. People who have worked to free them from nets or swim with them always describe it as a fabulous experience and met with intelligence. I don't believe they are bored with their lives, or unable to feel pain, like every other animal on the planet who is here to live a life.

Spacey One User ID: 356898 Australia 01/19/2008 06:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lol, haven't seen that one. "Animals in the wild will instinctively know not to overpopulate and those that are carnivorous will turn to the plant kingdom for sustenance. The albinos being born in several animal species have both spiritual and transitional significance. You associate white with peace, and these rarities that are appearing are symbolic of the coming changes in animal nature that will end the predator-prey food chain and restore the peaceable relationship that once existed among all species, including humankind. The instances of unlikely cross-species friendships and even nurturing of the young from one species by mothers of another are more indications of Earth’s return to her original paradise self. Still, an extremely important factor in this is the inspiration in many souls to be advocates for the animal kingdom and alleviate their manmade plight. The cetaceans’ spiritual mission, to embody in huge bulk and inhabit your oceans where they absorb and anchor the light beamed to the planet from distant civilizations, soon will have been fulfilled. These whale and dolphin souls, which species-wide are the most highly evolved spiritually and intellectually on your planet, will soar to their original light stations when they leave physically, but they will continue to grace your planet with their love energy."
