POPSSea Shepherd deserves our support! It is time for the World to standup and be counted on issues affecting us all. Our Governments continue to fail us as they junket from one fest to another expending more "hot air". We have enough Global Warming without daft politicians adding to it!

POPSAustralian Government beats the retreat! So much for the grand opening salvo from the Rudd Government - they have now beaten the retreat! The "Ozzies" were never people to runup a white flag after a couple of shots - why start now?

POPSWhalers decimate even pregnant females! These callous whalers are not only taking the present generation of whales, they are also taking future generations! I believe the time has come for decisive action - not the limp-wristed efforts of so many Governments. Australia through the new Rudd administration made a great start - but they have now joined ranks with those capitulating to the Japanese. Some leadership!

POPSAustralia is capitulating on whaling protest! It is clear the Australian Government is now reneging on its commitment to fight the Japanese whaling at every level. They are now resorting to limited opposition to whaling through diplomatic channels which are little better than "talkfests"! The Australian people are generally forthright, bold and honest - their Government is not reflecting such qualities in the whaling situation!

POPSIs the Rudd Government now all talk? Sadly it looks increasingly that the great moves initially by the Rudd Government of Australia have become little more than "hot air". As if we need more Global warming! Sea Shepherd have been left to soldier on alone as the Japanese practise their butchering of the whales. Garrett, Australia's environment spokesman was full of noise prior to his election - now he is ominously quiet. The excuse is that Australia is using diplomatic channels - and we know how mind-numbingly slow progress there can be devoid of the public gaze! Comeon "Ozzies" stir the tripe out of your Government - it needs a rocket up its backside!

POPSJapan plans more whaling kills Japan is a disgrace and the insipid posturing of World delegates was such that Japan achieved an ability to carry on whaling. We are being led by whimps!

POPSJapan is finally feeling the heat on whaling Notwithstanding that a hopelessly astray Kiwi (Glenn Inwood quoted here) sees fit to go against the views of most of his fellow Kiwis, Japan is becoming increasingly pressured to stop whaling. Their days of working scams and shams to continue whaling are coming to an end. As a fellow Kiwi I hope the Japanese offer Glenn Inwood sufficient inducement to leave New Zealand. He doesn't represent the views of most Kiwis - in fact he shames us!

POPSSaving our Planet is Imperative These moves are welcome - now we need the people to endorse the sustainability concept and demand our politicians follow suit. After we stuff this Planet our future is bleak!

POPSThe Japanese cry foul - what a joke! Japan has been trying every dirty, devious "trick" for years in its bid to keep whaling now it expects nations to deter a committed, but more enlightened, group to desist. Well done Sea Shepherd give the Japanese whalers every reasonable action you can deliver!

POPSJapanese whalers fear retribution - bravo! Devious tactics by Japanese whalers are now being challenged - bravo Sea Shepherd! Let the whalers know what it is like to feel hunted! Although loathe to endorse extreme action I believe Japan will only desist when the cost becomes too great - a pity that may mean the loss of human life but that is one of the options determined activists may have to resort to bring Japan to its senses. Political gesturing has brought no results - it is time to "up the anti"!

POPSJapanese are a disgrace & ridiculed The Japanese continue to be environmental vandals and callous, cold people. Wanton destruction of dolphins is shameful and the tatty aquatic parks supporting them by purchasing the young are to be deplored.

POPSHow whalers construe facts to justify further whaling! An amazing commentary - the Japanese whaling industry tells us they kill for "science", then they use "aid" to buy votes - now they justify not only killing the whales but also the next generation of whales and call it "great". This is all half-baked obnoxious stuff designed, like the whales slaughtered, for public consumption. The whaling industry is treating the thinking public as fools!

POPSObnoxious Japan! Japan continues to thumb its nose to World opinion - it is time for the World to bring this nation to heel!

POPSIn Ignoring Public Opinion Iceland is Under Threat Iceland is now facing people with conviction - while it is to be regreted the fact remains that Iceland has decided to prejudice the future of the Worldwide population of whales. I say go for it Sea Shepherd the politically correct and diplomats have achieved NOTHING!

POPSIs Iceland Waking Up on Whaling? With most of the World failing to support whaling, Iceland may be also coming to its senses! The fact that Jpan has been "buying" the votes of small cash-strapped countries shouldn't be seen as support - it is plainly graft! Japan stands codemned.
