Were Provisions Made to Allow Commercial Whaling?

That’s the new question as “scientific” whaling season starts up for Japanese “scientists”.  It was made illegal to whale for food or other commercial reasons back in 1986, but We Heart World exposed a secret meeting of International parties down in Florida earlier this year that may have been intended to reduce the rules governing the practice.

This is an issue that is viewed differently from other types of hunting for many reasons, including the cruel and bloody style of the killings and the inability to know the full extent of its effect on the populations.  Regardless of whether it is illegal, immoral, neither, or both, the point is the lack of public information being put forth regarding the meeting and the results.

Question: Why would next week’s meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) be closed to the press, the public, and scientists not associated with the commission?

Answer: Because they will be discussing lifting the long-standing ban on commercial whaling and they don’t want anyone to know the real reasons why.

    [...] despite a 25-year ban (Japan, Norway and Iceland) are expected to make a move to end the ban. Some think the Bush government may well attempt to appease Japan by supporting the end of the ban. The meeting director is a Bush appointee. The media blackout casts some shadows on the [...]

    The traditions of the Pacific Tribes must be respected!

    They have every right to hunt and eat Japanese humans.

    It’s their traditional culture and that makes it right!

    I hope this will stay to the stage of speculations. 30000 whales is already a huge slaughter … If they lift that ban this number will seems like a joke compared to what they can do :-/

    I hope that it is only speculation, but it just doesn’t seem logical to exclude the press if they don’t plan on lifting the ban.

    Seems like lifting the ban would be a great idea. Food prices are rising and these creatures are huge and eating to many fish in the seas anyway.

    Voice of Reason (Reasoning with your imaginary brain, that is!) You are a brainless twit. Fish? They eat krill, you intellectual midget! I absolutely detest people, such as you, who walk this earth feigning intellect and posting stupid, ill considered remarks such as these - shut up and take a science class, you fool. I hate you.

    Who gave you a mandate to decide what is too much you loathsome sadistic prick? Reason? you wouldn’t recognise reason if it ran up to you and planted its boot in your shrivelled, atrophied bollocks.
