Japan's ugly sin since WW2 A country that has taken something that it can never give back from all that live on this planet, and their government sponsored it. Before the earthquake, I like many witnessed these horrors in some form. Its hard to shake this off. Commercial whaling, and on this scale is beyond imaginings, but it was there. To kill any of these creatures is murder plain and simple, and we're losing them at an alarming rate.

Our land is polluted, our air and waters are contaminated, our forest, and woodlands even in our mountains is all but disappearing, like our gorilla, and creatures like them. Our country is not guiltless either.
What happened there could very easily happen here.
