Eat the whales

Now this sounds like a reasonable solution to a problem of whale cleanup.

Japan has long butted heads with the International Whaling Commission, claiming that the body's strict antiwhaling regulations are an affront to whale-loving Japanese culture—and taste buds. Last week, however, the country's Fisheries Agency proposed a compromise that the whale-eating lobby may be able to stomach: allow the meat of beached whales to be used for human consumption. The agency claims the policy change—carcasses of whales that flop ashore must be incinerated or buried under current law—is motivated primarily by a need to save money. In January 2002, for example, officials spent more than $500,000 to dispose of 14 stranded sperm whales, despite repeated requests to sell the meat. With an increasing number of whales beaching themselves on Japanese shores because of environmental changes in the oceans, that's a whole lot of good grub that's going to waste.

If you're blubbering over the prospect of hungry cetacean connoisseurs waiting on shore with carving knives and barbecue grills and using CDs of Songs of the Humpback Whale for bait, you're not alone. Junko Sakurai of Greenpeace Japan doubts officials will make much of an effort to rescue beached whales if they know they can trade them in at the local supermarket. "We have pork, chicken, beef and fish. Why do we need whale?" says Sakurai, although as a member of Greenpeace, she may not be the best judge of the succulent taste of a nicely grilled finback-whale steak.

In any case, whale meat is no longer fashionable among many Japanese, especially the young, so the issue has become less about taste than national pride. "We don't want to be told what to do," says Takanori Nagatomo, chief of the Whaling Section of the Fisheries Agency. Until the whole country decides to go whaleless, Shamu would be wise to steer clear of Japan.

Ever rattle off a quick post on your way out of the door,only to realise that you've blundered when you are too far from your PC to correct it?

Yes,Dolphins are mammals.But they probably still taste nice with a couple of lemon wedges and some sweet and sour sauce.:wink:

Whens Dolphin season anyway? Summer isnt it?

Sorry sweetie,holding a different opinion doesn't automatically mean that your facts are incorrect.I'm sure that I make the odd error in passing on the information from which I distill my opinions,but disagreeing and getting the facts wrong are two entirely different propositions.:smile:

I was just kidding around - don't get your panties in a bunch :icon16:

Maybe we should refer to them by scientific names for the resident smartass.

The link is to a fish, Coryphaena hippurus, the Dolphins we are referring to are from the Odontoceti group which are toothed whales, of this we were referring to the smaller species which are commonly referred to as Dolphins in the common tongue, scientifically named Tursiops truncatus, Grampus griseus and Stenella coeruleoalba to name a few.
Does this make is more clear for you, sir?

I did not see Naki make a reference either way, I was clearly stating, as you also did to Naki, that you where also wrong. You want to call me a smartass for doing the same exact thing that you did so be it.
You have no idea how many people don't know that a Dolphin, or Mahi- Mahi as it is better known, is actually a fish. If you took offense to my post I am sorry, thats not what I intended.

No, you would have to try a lot harder if you want to offend me:wink:

I know the fish as the Mahi-mahi, and I know Tursiops truncatus as a Dolphin, as do most people.
Having grown up in a coastal city on the Indian Ocean, I am very familiar with Dolphins as in the mammalian type, as is most of the world, but am only familiar with the Mahi-mahi from time spent at oceanariums and reading books on fishing.

Since Naki was referring to the Dolphin from the whale family, I was correcting him that it is not a fish, had the thread been about the Mahi-mahi and he had referred to a Dolphin as a fish, it would have been something completely different and he would not have been corrected.
You may not have seen Naki refer to it in either way in the first post, but if you paid attention to the topic of the thread and read it in the context of the thread, you would agree he was referring to the mammal, as he did so clearly state in his post following my correcting him(at which point he does refer to it in a specific way)

(I am also sure Naki knows I was not being malicious in correcting him and knew I was only busting on him)
