To study the whales impact on fish stocks? Would it not be better to revise the well documented effect that humanity is having on them instead?

It is us that is killing off the stocks that thousands of other species depend upon, not the other way around.

And what difference would the results of this "scientific catch" make?

"Oh, there's too many whales and not enough fish or something, so we can hunt a shedload more of them!" is the only answer I can see them looking to find.

The ignorance of Pro-whaling countries never ceases to disgust me.

Won't be long before eco-terrorists start taking out whaling ships with all this activity from pro-whalers.

Depends, who enacted the ban ? The UN ? We all know that's representative of the world...

I think the worldwide ban on whale hunting kind of gives us a little leverage.

It's easy for us to condemn another culture's heritage, less so our own. They've always done it, what makes us any better to say they can't ?

Because, as a pro-whaling nation, they're looking for an excuse to resume commercial whaling.

And I really can't understand how killing a group of whales does anything for science that dead whales haven't already.

We know their biology inside out.

Apart for scientific experiments, is there any reason they are doing this?
