Summer is just around the corner and that means once again we will have murderers masquerading as 'scientists' coming into our waters and killing a number of whales, including humpbacks and Minkes.
It's ridiculous that the government can't (or won't) do more to stop the Japanese. Why are they allowed to do it? isn't there some way to stop them? If anyone can tell me why this massacre of a creature that is only just recovering from the brink of extinction should be allowed to continue I would love to hear from them. I understand that they are only allowed to kill a certain number, but their methods are still barbaric, with evidence that only one in five minke whales die instantaneously, and it takes longer for larger whales like the humpback to die.
It seems that even though there is much talk in parliament of assisting the environment and looking for greener solutions, we are still carrying on with the same methods because they are cheaper right now. Does it ever occur to John Howard that right now isn't going to last? Anyone with half a brain should know that our planet is seriously failing to regenerate quick enough to continue coping with the pollution and waste we lovely humans contaminate it with.
At least one Australian state is looking out for the animals, with Victoria placing tougher penalties on animal cruelty, with jails sentences for two years and a ban on owning a pet for ten years. I think anyone who deliberately harms or abuses an animal should be sent to jail for much longer. If they starved a child or regularly beat them and chained them up the penalties would be much harsher, both cannot properly defend themselves or understand why they are being treated that way, by someone they love.
Sorry the post is so morbid, I guess I'm just sad that the planet we are meant to be looking after is being neglected and abused.
