JGV Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Not surprised It is arrogance and self-centred We shall do what we want and to hell with opinion outside our borders - this is the mindset I hope Greenpeace can sabotage their plan and individuals carry out their own sanctions Don't buy their cars for example or their electronic goods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorri Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Perhaps the Japanese are upset with the Australians culling camels and kangaroos. Neither are endangered, camels are not indigenous, and kangaroo numbers are the highest they have ever been, due to easier access to food and water. I guess, if you eat meat, then you should re-assess your diet. The other thing to remember, the Japanese have out fished their own waters and now are trying to do the same to the worlds oceans. And here is something else for you to consider, would the Japanese allow other nations to fish in their seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermoth Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I understood that it was now against international law to hunt whales therefore why doesn't the Australian or NZ navy or AF simply ask the crew to get off their ships then sink them. If they refuse to leave just sink them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they refuse to leave just sink them anyway. The Kiwi's haven't got a navy,rely on Aust.,and Aust is to pissweak to upset their trading partners.Up to Greenpeace to do the hard work.
