I have to say I've read some brainless arguments in my time but this lot could win prizes - if there were prizes for stupidity.
So you think that the persecution of one species justifies the persecution of another - I think your argument is slightly flawed, don't you? - you seriously consider that one justifies the other - ?????
I really think that if you are going to chip in you should firstly have an idea of what you are talking about and then form a proper argument - you're doing neither.
Now orangutans - Thailand? - they've been extinct here for generations - I wonder why because arse-hole like yourself took the attitude that there was no problem and it was Thai culture?
as for Tigers - well they FARM them - at places like the Tiger Temple and Sri Racha zoo so they can be pickled and sold on as medicine in China - I suppose because they do that it means that the Japanese can kill whales and the Papua New Guineans can start eating each other?
but what's the point if you have no idea where orangoutangs are threatened yet you decide to include it i your argument - GET YOUR INFORMATION right first
Ahh... You need to learn some comprehension skills there lassy. I never said they were taken from Thailand, I said they were taken from the wild, as in illegal trading(which is just great, you kill all your own animals and start somewhere else) Yeah a real shinning example to give you the right to critisis another nation when you can't even look after your own land. And no, I don't think that the persecution of one species justifies the persecution of another, how about you polish up that 6th grade reading level of yours before opening that seemingly big mouth of yours.
The point to my comment on the orangutans also seemed to slipped by you sherlock and my point being that how about you worry about your countries indiscretions before going and attacking another? Or could I bring up the destruction of forests by the trade of illegal Cambodian timber.
Illegal timber And the fact that Japan is sending money to help the forests there,
Japan Funds Thai-Cambodia transboundary conservation project. But thats right , Japan is all bad?
As for the sustainability argument, please present any evidence that the whales that Japan is hunting are not sustainable. If you can't then all you are doing is stepping on that little soap box of yours and continuing to let diarrhea dribble out of that mouth of yours.
As for the arse-hole like myself, at this point in time all the whaling that is being done is so far sustainable. Even notable ENVIRONMENTALIST,Professor Tim Fannery has stated that it is hard to say that whaling is not sustainable,
Flannery says Japan whaling 'sustainable'
And I don't see the difference in farmed animals and wild animals if there is a sustainable source, something which you conveniently are failing to accept. Instead, all you can do is throw around insults at me and other posters like the 10 year old brat you are, only b/c you have nothing of substance in your argument , except to accuse people of not knowing anything from no basis of facts at all, when the reality is you are the one very much misinformed.
And bilqis, don't be so quick to hand out those prizes for stupidity, you may need them for yourself.
