Pulling my Aussie finger out for a second to point....'If you're thinking of eating whale, you might want to think again Ethe blubber of dead whales in some areas is so highly contaminated with organochlorines such as PCBs and pesticides that it would be classified as toxic waste! Organochlorines are known to damage development of children and affect reproduction. ' www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/oceans/whalingAussies as White Supremacist www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23014405-2,00.html?from=mostpop "Whales are cute. They are intelligent, genius creatures that endear humans to want to interact with them," he says, "But we are a fishing people. Whale hunting is a part of our culture-not just our food culture." It's part of the culture that younger Japanese aren't all that familiar with, however. And it also happens to infuriate other nations. www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1698246,00.html

Wow! I'm totally speechless!
I'm still a little confused as to why Japan 1,000 whales are needed for 'scientific research'. 1,000 experiments on what!?!?! I haven't heard any information on any of this 'research.' However, I do know that I've eaten whale for school lunch before...
