Japanese and Saving Whales
- Share via
As reported by The Times, the whale population seems to be in alarmingly low numbers and the Japanese, who continue to hunt whales, take on the selfish, clannish attitude of their so-called right to eat whale meat. The Japanese, despite all of their progress in joining the rest of the world successfully economically, have failed on ecological matters. They seem to consider it their divine right to decimate these magnificent creatures while at the same time turning a deaf ear to world opinion.
It has come to the point where I watch my Japanese television, drive my Japanese car, and play music on my Japanese piano with deep regret.
