Well, maybe you should think about it yourself first before condemning other people's ideas, o.k?
I'll take you a bit more seriously if you said "Your idea is crap Liverpool, I think we should do...."
If you don't then you'll continue to be the one-line quip expert who offers ZILCH.

I never said just go int here and blow them up....you warn them first before they even leave Japan that this is what is going to happen.
They take the risk at their own peril then.
Anyways, I rekcon if you did a poll......'sucking up to the Japs' .v. Blowing them out of the water....I'd win hands down! 8)
Just wondering what everbody has against the whales being caught killed and eaten. Thats whats happening here isnt it? Are whales of a higher intelligence than other animals we eat? Or is it the way they are killed, inhumane ect. Not supporting whaling mind you, just wanting to know the facts.
I think there are issues of survival for certain species, Duke, and also issues of cruelty. Whaling was obviously an important part of the Australian economy in colonial times and some species are only just returning to our waters after nearly being wiped out. It's a pretty delicate balance.
It's also illegal and they are protected. Japan are refusing to comply and instead killing a large amount of whales under the guise of "research".
I heard an old Japanese man on the radio a few nights ago. Once whale meat was the staple diet in Japan, their only real source of meat. That's no longer the case and they don't need to harvest whales for food any more.
The Japs whaling efforts remind me of the Indian Cricket Team. One set of rules for themselves and one for the others.
Are all mammals protected species?

Marsupials are mammals in which the female typically has a pouch (called the marsupium) to rear its young. From which the name marsupial is derived.Liverpool said:
Just to save any debate
i think it`s mainly to do with the brutal way they are killed.dukeos said:
at least it is for me.
the poor buggers get explosive tipped harpoons fired into them which cause enormous internal damage.
and unlike humans,whales don`t have a trigger point where they fall unconsciuos through extreme pain.
they are awake and conscious the whole time and it takes up to an hour or more for them to die a very slow painful death.
not only that but some species are endangered.
added to the fact that the japanese enter our waters to do this just tops it off.

Whoops. That wasn't what I meant to ask and I thought I'd deleted the question. I was wondering to myself really and meant native, non-domestic/introduced animals. I didn't give it too much thought anyway so please ignore.
On the topic of Kangaroos, they are protected here. If you need to cull them you have to apply to the DNRE for a permit and if they approve of the reason you give and think it's necessary they'll give you permission to shoot a certain number...ie 5 roos.

I would command our navy to board and arrest them, impound the boats and lock up the crew.
But that's probably why i'm not in charge
