So, no jail term, no fine, not even a slap on the wrist. There is nothing at all imposed on the Japs, because they have not broken the law, because they are not subject to our law.

We could claim the moon as our territory, just like that Spanish woman. It wouldn't make it reality. You laugh at that Spanish woman. The Japs laugh at us. The act can only be applied to our actual EEZ, not the imaginary, or 'claimed' one, which is why the court could not impose a penalty on the Japs, and why no Australian authority can carry out the court order to restrain them, unless they enter our real EEZ and start shooting whales there.

I have no idea what this court was playing at, making a statement just sufficiently complicated so that all the loonies thought the Japs were actual criminals. It has made us a laughing stock. Maybe it was some kind of experiment to test the limits of mass self delusion.

You need to read what it actually says, not what you want it to say. It is all there, in black and white, right before your eyes.

It is not recognised under international law. Seeing as it is in international waters, that is what matters. Our actions are no less absurd than the Spanish woman claiming ownership of the sun and trying to charge people for it.

I don't think Japan ever agreed to cede those international waters to Australia.

They can leave the IWC at any time they please, and that is just what will happen if the IWC does not go back to its roots.

The IWC is not 'managing and controlling' the whale populations. If it were, it would have initiated a return to commercial whaling a long time ago, rather than forcing Japan and other whaling nations to exploit the various loopholes.

Instead, the IWC has been dominated by the animal libbers and people who consider it immoral to harvest whales, regardless of the sustainability of the harvest. Imposing those hypocritical moral standards on countries like Japan has nothing to do with what the IWC was originally about. The IWC is a symbol for what can go wrong with environmentalism - when animal libbers take over and somehow manage to trick the public into thinking the two agendas are identical.

So now you are saying that the Australian Antarctic Territory is not real.

I am not so sure that they even respect the Austrailain mainland EEZ.

Yet you NEVER criticise the violent, provocative behavior of Sea Shepherd on the high seas - which direcly contravenes international law??

Quote:


I wish that were the case Gizmo but actually the treaty sits on top of the claim - and has a different definition as to the boundaries.

This is where Japan choose to cherry pick the boundary, the Treaty is about the Antarctic land mass and ice shelf and does not cover the surrounding seas past a defined parallel

This trailer doesn't show you the actual cruelty inflicted upon the "Children of a Lesser God" - the Animal Kingdom, but I suggest you watch the whole movie of EARTHLINGS.
I for one was quite upset by what I saw and I've seen my fair bit of 'Death' first hand.


Such things as so-called Kosher not actually being practiced as Kosher, etc - just shows the hypocrisy and lies fermented by industries that exploit the death of Animals.

We all have to eat ...but its the blatant way we go about it.
Should I pull out a little piglet and cut its throat for a slow death in front of the kiddies upon a birthday party sacrifice? Come on, of course not. So what if the meat tastes a bit better at that age of the pig. why the pig couldn't have lived a full life is beyond me.

Now I work in a Hatchery and I see thousands of unwanted 'Chicks' just hatched, slowly gassed (like Jews) to death and dumped (by me) in a big slush bin. Besides knowing that these chicks have only spent 3 days alive, its a shame that such 'bio' waste is just buried in Tips, rather than used as fertilizer or burley food for the oceans, especially out deep in open ocean where there is stuff all food and nutrients.
At least we don't "macerate" the chicks live anymore.

I think of that Conservationists have to clean up after Chefs like the Medicals have to clean up after Military Wars (for Politics).
Why we have to put up with Chefs endorsing killing animals before their age is due because of 'taste' is beyond me.
Poor animals.
The biggest Chinese Restaurant in the world serves its dishes LIVE.
Nothing more disgusting than seeing some poor fish still wiggling and being cooked alive. Just pathetic to see humanity behave so.

Put everything it 'human' perspective and suddenly everyone has a whine and a whinge. Such things as Genocide and Holocaust. We live in a world where the Human Rights of Criminals is a priority of the Human Rights of innocent people who suffer from such.

The world is bugger-KED.

>>>>>>>>>>For starters - stop calling the Nipponese the Anglo "Japanese" ...I'm sure australians wouldn't want to be called "Nancys". no wonder they don't listen.
