That's right, whalers...EAT IT!
http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/NewsArticle.aspx?type=scienceNews&storyID=2006-06-16T222404Z_01_N15391921_RTRIDST_0_SCIENCE-ENVIRONMENT-WHALES-DC.XML

FRIGATE BAY, St. Kitts and Nevis (Reuters) - Japan suffered a resounding defeat on Friday at the International Whaling Commission, calming fears among conservationists that might finally win enough support in the world body to start attacking a ban on whaling.

The commission voted against two proposals by Japan, one for secret ballots that it said would allow Caribbean and Pacific nations to back its pro-whaling stance without fear of reprisal, and another to prevent the IWC from discussing the fate of dolphins and porpoises as well as whales.

Anti-whaling countries led by Australia, Britain, New Zealand and South Africa, and environmental groups, breathed a sigh of relief that their darkest fears -- of a whaling body dominated by pro-whaling Japan -- had not come about.

But hey, don't take it as a loss, you sorry bunch of assclowns. Rather take it as a warning...wake up. There are certain folks that you don't like that will be in your face with a faster fucking boat, within the law and within the court of public opinion.

And this is just one more resounding voice that says

FUCK YOU!

4. Japan and allies argue for "sustainable" hunting.
that is a sarcastic smooth over if I ever heard one.

Sustainable? Sustainable? What does that mean? Just barely floating above the depletion or extinction numbers?
