This video is in tribute to the 1000 whales that die every year due to corrupted governments. Japan was once again left to kill other 1000 whales. Including endangered species, pregnant mothers and calves. Greenpeace nor Australian Customs will be going

How can Japan be allowed to do this in protected waters? Why are other governments not standing up to them? The quickest and most effective way to hurt Japan and pressure them is to stop using Japanese products. No Sony, No mitsubishi and so many others. If governments and other international collaborative trade organisations impose sanctions on Japa, they will have to listen. Why can't this be done? Bastards.

Awesome video and so incredibly sad that these two countries have no respect of the largest and most benign Mammals. Fie, for shame.
Kudos to Sea Shepard for trying top protect them against the Whalers.
Shame on Japan and Norway. Boycott them both, I say.
Peace in Our Quest for Truth

Japan is using their $$ to influence/buy the votes of smaller nations, countries, islands, etc...to make it possible for them to continue their merciless rape of the seas and oceans.

Untold millons of dollars in new boats, fisheries, and public works projects, and even picking up their $340,000 annual tab at the IWC in exchange for their pro-whaling vote to name just one.

And, in a way the US government can blame itself for the loss of allies: Hurricanes and natural disasters, the island still depend on foreign aid and investment, and the aid from America from 1985 to 1995 fell by roughly 90% - Japan saw the opening and these nations welcomed their help.

So, Japan is using six financially coerce pro-whaling nations (Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Saint Kitts, Antigua, and Saint Lucia) representing a million people canceled out the votes of six anti-whaling nations (US, Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Spain, and Brazil) representing a billion people. Matthew Scully - Dominion

We not only need to boycott Japan, we need to boycott these "bought" nations to discourage them from using Japan's "Blood Money".

To me the word Sanctuary means protection.... from anyone... I just don't get it.... those who commit these acts I only pray the right karma comes back to them to benefit the higher good of all... gee gads!

We nust put pressure on our govenments. Diplomatic pressures must be put on Japan and Norway and trade agreements with those countries must hinge on the COMPLETE end to whaling.
