Then what did you mean by this?
Hey, I got a great idea! Let's all tell the second largest market in the world we're breaking diplomatic ties with them, canceling our free trade agreement, and imposeing economic sanctions! This kind of pressure will surely work!

The only research they've done is on new ways to cook whale meat.
Honestly, don't be a butt knuckle about it, Ronin. Tell me you're not an idiot and say you actually realize the reason they are doing this is for commerical puposes and nothing else. They kill these animals because they want to eat them. Don't be a moron.

Of course they're doing it for commercial purposes. But as long as they do it under the guise of research it's completely legal. And there are scientific results which they've released. You don't think the Japanese are stupid enough to not provide a convincing smokescreen to their commercial whaling operation do you?
