Thanks! Yes, it has been a while since I wrote this and it does not seem to be much in the news anymore. You should write about it. I guess keeping up as much publicity as possible is all we can do on this one. I am always glad to see people making use of the random posts list in my sidebar. Thanks!

I agree completely with you. Maybe I'll write a post on this too. I can't believe this still goes on. I think I read somewhere that after the war the Japanese literally had to eat whale meat to keep from starving, but now they have a hard time selling all that they get from killing whales (for "scientific purposes")! People, including most Japanese I think, just don't like eating it. Anyway, I can't accept that tradition justifies killing whales. Female circumcision is a "tradition" still practiced in Africa. That doesn't mean it isn't barbaric. Hmmmm, maybe I better cool down. Anyway, I to say (scream) Save The Whales!

What puzzles me is the *reason* they have gotten away with such atrocities and slaughter, that they are doing this for *quote* scientific reasons. (HUH?) If there was ever more of a reason to *red flag*, on this planet THAT would be it. My home is filled with whale photos, even though I have never seen one in person, funny eh? but I have since childhood been an AVID whale/dolphin person, and still remember a song that impacted me to the soul first time I ever heard it, and which I know and sing by heart, called the dolphin song, which was created to protest the tuna industry due to dolphin deaths which STILL occur. I hope one day when I finally get out to see the whales, there will be something there to greet me, besides the water.

Thanks for tho comment! Hope you "signed" the petition. I really like the theme on your site. I think I have visited before, but maybe you had a different theme then. Only thing I would recommend is that you change your comment from to the one that Anna and Bob use. Your story telling is so good I think you will get even more comments without the pop up form that so many people don't like. That poker story is a gem! Liked "The Lost Canali" too. I started reading back through old posts and they are all great! Had to stop as I need to do some work, but I'll be back. -Will Hey Swubird! Thanks for tho comment! Hope you “signed” the petition.

Have left a comment over at MyRadicalBlogs and once again thank you for the tip. Best. Will,

I have always felt that way. I don't care if it's a long tradition among certain peoples. It's about time those people joined the 21st century, and took some responsibility for protecting these beloved creatures. They are more than just animals! They're our brothers and sisters who share this blue planet with us. And, as far as I can tell, your average whale is more than willing to live and let live. We should do the same! Will:
