The thing is that <BR/>§ Japanese schoolchildren are being encouraged to eat whale meat, because<BR/>§ Warehouses in Japan are crammed with excess meat, causing a huge glut<BR/>And yet Australia allows this mad slaughter to continue. Madness.<BR/><BR/>25 July 2006 <BR/><BR/>SYDNEY - Almost three-quarters of the female whales killed by Japanese whalers in Antarctic waters this hunting season were pregnant, an anti-whaling activist said Tuesday in Sydney.<BR/>Quoting from a Japanese government report prepared for the International Whaling Commission, Nicola Beynon of Human Society International said 224 of the 391 female minke whales were pregnant when they were hit with harpoons tipped with explosives.<BR/>She also told Australia ABC Radio that the locations given in the report showed most died in what Canberra has demarcated as the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.<BR/>“Japan is blatant,” Beynon said. “They openly admit to killing whales in Australian waters that Australia considers to be in its own territorial waters and has declared a whale sanctuary.”Beecham Motorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685002483855010916noreply@blogger.com
