Whale blubber sashimi is a dish best served cold

About fucking time somebody took Japan to court over their nasty commercial whaling.  Kevin Rudd rocks!!!

Whale blubber sashimi is a dish best served cold

It’s being spun as a compromise, but the latest effort to ‘cap’ the annual whale kill on the part of the rogue whaling nations of Japan, Norway and Iceland really comes down to providing an international framework to legitimize the commercial blubber sashimi trade.

I’m with Patrick R. Ramage, global whale program director at the International Fund for Animal Welfare:

“From our point of view, it’s a whaler’s wish list.  It would overturn the ’86 moratorium, eviscerate the South Ocean Whale Sanctuary, subordinate science and I.W.C. precedent to reward countries that have refused to comply by allocating quotas to those three countries.”

Amen, brother, say “No!” to appeasement as did Australia , Tokelau, New Zealand, Fiji and many other Pacific nations.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd tells the Japanese to stop whaling by November 2010.   Good on ya, mate!  Why can’t our Dem leaders grow a pair?
