I for one, switched the stance from anti-whaling to whaling, or at least anti-anti-whaling because of these activists.
I didn't want to be harsh, but direct or indirect, it is a sensible matter when you talk about a basic principle of a culture, even if it is not explicitly called faith.
Thank you very much for your apologies. I really appreciate it.

See, this is what I think. I can't be the only one, right? The 'activists' that do the most extreme things will of course get the most publicity... this can't speak for all of them, can it? Or even the majority of them...
I wouldn't switch my stance because a few silly people didn't do the right thing. This approach will clearly not solve anything. To intiate change, the subject you are trying to change
has to want to change. Stirring up trouble just makes the Japanese angry and makes them think 'damn gaijin getting involved in our matters.' Like I said at the very start:

- I agree with the opinions of environmentalists, but again, I don't approve of their methods. Sometimes they are very brash and intrusive, which just makes the Japanese people angry and causes more problems.

Something else needs to be done to correct this problem.

P.S MIssaMissa. you know that no matter what your companies say - mostly all the chickens are killed the same way. you know that the heads are cut off? sounds fast doesnt it? yea..but brain is still active for some 3 minutes after its cut off. and the saying "running like chicken without a head" ? thats because they do that..now do you think your organization is still the humane one?

Again with this finger pointing! I've already said they aren't good either. This is a stupid argument. It's not MY organisation, they eat chickens in Japan too you know. There are things to be improved on both sides, for sure, but I thought this was about dolphins and whales? Geez.
Are you a vegetarian or something?
