    Japanese whaling is NOT research, rules ICJ

    @Bob @Private Pickle

    I can't believe I missed this earlier last year. I guess we will see if Japan obeys or ignores international law this year, won't we? Seems like the environmental groups were in the right the whole time.

    Not really. Customary international law is as controlling as treaty based law.

    Who is charged with enforcing this law? I mean yeah, I know the research thing is a sham as do you and obviously the courts do to. But I don't want our people in harms way or our government spending money to try to enforce these laws.
    They are just animals. smart, interesting animals who should be protected where possible but still just animals

    Sure it is, they were researching how it tastes maybe?

    Japs love whale meat enough to go to war over it. They will continue to harvest whales until they are all gone.
    My beliefs are a distillation of what I was taught as a child and what I observe as an adult.

    The Japanese claim that they will abide by the ruling, so it literally could mean an end to whaling in the southern ocean if that's true! We can only hope.

    They are not "just animals" anymore or less than we are in my opinion. They deserve life as much as we do and are more important to the overall health of the planet than even our species actually is in many ways.

    I have a hard time believing they are being honest on that. Their culture is so hard wired to status that they eat Fugu just to make a statement.
