Japan says screw the International Court

They are going to do research whaling despite being told by the International Court that its research whaling is a front for Japanese businesses. They will do research from Dec1 until March of next year. Guess they think they can do whatever they want.

Well atleast they won't be doing it in Russian waters, as we would sink their ships.

Now we just need to tell the whales to winter in Vladivostok.

If they want whale meat so much they should start breeding them, not just hunting. They're Japaneese, if someone can figure how to breed whales it should be them.

Well, if the ships are sunk, I guess the sharks will be doing some research as well between Dec and March of next year .

Slap an embargo or additional tax on their electrical products and let them decide which is the most beneficial option.

What's the difference between humans hunting whales for meat or blubber and humans hunting bears, foxes, elk, moose, lion or any other animal you can think of for sport.?

Whales and Lions are being hunted into extinction for one.

The irony is that I know for a certain that it is a cliché that all Japanese eat whale meat, like all Germans eating Sauerkraut. Most Germans do not like Sauerkraut and could not care less for it (this food is an improvised necessity from times of emergency and suffering, not a delicatesse) , and something similar is true for whale meat and Japanese - for especially younger Japanese, it means little. Most do not like the taste (it tastes awful, by the way, I once got a bite of it), and it is private nationalist lobbies and conservative politicians even spending money on keeping a propaganda machinery spinning in advocating that it is so vital for Japanese interest to have access to whale hunting. This is about nationalist pride and stupid stubborness (they think they would lose their face if giving up whaling), and a bit about a few - a very few - jobs a in the whaling industry - a small group, but being incredibly loud.

Great, so Slovenes are the only nation that considers sauerkraut a delicacy.

We have a dish called zaseka, which is diced bacon with pork fat spread over bread and then sauerkraut on it. I love it.

I usually make it as a side dish. Drain, rinse, repeat if necessary. Then add some caraway seeds, diced apples and cook it up. Let it sit in fridge over night for flavors to meld, not bad.

But it certainly isnt something I make or eat often.
