thank you Ryzorian.
I have not seen Star Trek 4 .but I know about sentient being theory and John C. Lilly.Of course I know scientists don't support the theory.
There are so many movies in which animals are not only sentient but can speak
If SS persist , there will never be a compromise. There is no possibility japan stop whaling because whales are sentient beings.
Next question
1 How about Australia govt ?
(1)I heard that officially NO country is against whaling based on sentient being theory.
Australia govt support the theory?
(2) I know whaling is prohibited by domestic law in AUS.
Why they prohibit it ? I want to know substantial reason.
I don't need guess,but accurate Legislative reasons
(3) I know Australia govt against especially Research Program in the Antarctic by Japan and their Territorial claims of Antarctica with ＥＥＺ .
If japan stop whaling in the Antarctic and start whaling in japan's ＥＥＺ,
AUS never be against whaling?
(4) Australia govt really believe they can win the case in International Court of Justice?
If they lose,they say "OK,sorry we were wrong,please hunt whale" ?
(5) If they lose,they allow SS to use facilities in Aus and support them?
(I don't think SS obey the decision by International Court,they will just say,
International Court of Justice is a idiot,cruel,barbaric and we are justice,so attack the whalers, because they are doing illegal!)
2 How about ordinary person ?
(1) same as 1(1). about the theory
(2) No need to answer
(3) same as 1(3). about whaling in japan's ＥＥＺ
(4) same as 1(4) . about how to accept the defeat
(5) same as 1(5). about how to deal with SS in the situation
3 about movies and TV programs against Taiji
In taiji town,japan,they are hunting pilot whale and Bottlenose Dolphin
IWC doesn't prohibit commercial whaling of huntingpilot whale and Bottlenose Dolphin.Taiji is ,of course,japan's territory.
SO,different from whaling in the Antarctic,100% legal.there is no room for discussion about legality.
very short Summary,not so accurate.
go to taiji,a quarrel,harassment(try to save), failure,killed,blood,cry,leave taiji,cry again.
(1)If you saw [The Cove] or TV program in which Actress Hayden Panettiere appears,what do you think about it?
(2)What do you think about behavior of Broome, Western Australia after [The Cove] was aired?
(3)Do you think are movies like this useful to stop whaling ?
sorry for long post.
I don't like some japanese say 'this is racism! We must continue!',although anti whaling was used as a device of Japan bashing in past.
so,please answer these questions! I want to tell them 'NO,this is not racism,they think like this・・・’
thank you,IN ADVANCE
