Why do the Japanese insist on killing these magnificent creatures?? It is purely for commercial gain, the Blue Whale, probably the largest living mammal on the planet, is far more intelligent that the Japanese whalers that carry out the mass butchering of this fabulous creature!, I was once on a world cruise, which visited Antarctica, and a distress came out from the **** Maru, a Japanese whaling ship. At the time l was in conversation with the Captain of our cruise ship, who did walkabouts everyday.....l immediately ask him NOT to answer the call....He said he was bound by International Law to answer it!! He asked about my objection, and l simply said, l would cause an incident, by trying to get onboard the Maru and maybe try and disarm, or certainly protest in my way at what they do to these wonderful creatures!!! A little while later, he came by and told me, that another ship, had answered the call, so we fortunately did not have to go...He was relieved!!! and asked me if l was sincere! ...the answer was in my face, damn right l would have reacted!!! If a stranded whale was needing help, the alternative being the Japanese Butcher, l know which one l would help!!

Finally, if this is Japanese culture, as been claimed in previous blogs, then what will they do when they have all been butchered to extinction???

Finally, what l cannot understand is if this is Japanese "culture" to murder and eat these creatures, what happens when they have become extinct????
