Japan stopped whaling.

that's pretty impressive, i thought they were just a bunch of lunatics. i don't think that whaling is good, especially because of the numbers in the population right now but one day i would like to try eating whale. it is part of their culture and it suck have to sacrifice that. everything is about moderation and compromise though.

WHAT THE HELL, what fish am l suppose to eat now?! salmon? PLAHHH

YAY! now all we have to do is get the Japanese to stop the dolphin slaughter!

At least they stopped for this season.

I watched it a few times.  I'm definitely glad it stopped.  I agree with eldolocal68.  We need to get them to stop slaughtering dolphins.  Sounds like "Whale Wars" worked.  Good job guys on a job well done.  Hard work pays off.

Those SeaSheperd guys are lucky that they were allowed to get away with burning and sinking the whaling ships without retribution.

So the Sea Sheperd were able to terrorize and burn ships freely and Greenpeace raked in a ton of money for doing nothing, and the Japanese are being called the bad guys?

no, dolphins are taking all the blame now. Sad how it was really the fault of chickens and cows

Well, that's good :)...but we'll have to see how long this lasts.

If you haven't seen "The Cove" watch it. The dolphin murders are so pointless because they don't do anything with the dolphins they kill and the dolphin meat is too high with mercury to eat anyway... 

thats good i think killing whales is bad but we kill alot of animals too just to feed our fat asses

so happy to see whaling stopped.  of course, every time I think of the sea shepard, I think of south park.

yeah, it was real tough to watch the cove

i don't think this is a complete halt. whale wars helped give sea shepherd momentum but if there's nothing to protest, what's the point of giving them momentum?

well you know, l think its gonna go in a frenzy of anti crocs killing, elephants, tigers etc etc

I dont support whaling at all. But what give any of us the right to tell a culture what they should eat and shouldnt? What if the Japaneses try to stop us from eating Cows and chickens? Just a thought.

They had a poor half to start the season so they headed home. Those lunatics in the boats who have nothing better to do with their lives than waste space and use up oxygen didn't make them go back.

seen the show...those guys are nuts.

but who really is the bad guys here?

I think they are lying and they are actually using submarines now.

The japanese people get fed whale/dolphin meat and its labeled as fish. They have no idea how much mercury they are ingesting. 

The movie 'The Cove' is pretty eye opening in the dolphin slaughtering in Japan.  Worth a watch.

cows and chickens, although raised in horrible conditions for the most part, are RAISED, that's the difference between "domesticated" farm animals and whales. this is what you call a "false equivalency"(like comparing this to the efforts of the anti-abortion movement). the japanese are grossly over-fishing across the globe, not just whales and dolphins, but tuna, sharks, cod and even krill! the japanese whaling fleet shouldn't face stink bombs from annoying environmentalist, but direct naval assault from nations that have signed the anti-whaling treaty. KABOOM! their actions are a disgusting affront to mankind. "who are we to tell the japanese what to eat and what not to eat"???? we're humans, and if we(you) have any humanity, we should do everything in our power to end this wholesale rape of our seas!

Greenpeace are a menace when they try to stop the boats. They should just do useful protesting and lobbying instead of basically acting as pirates breaking laws and trying to justify it.
