your argument for japan isn’t new.

people like you like to talk about japanese culture but you know absolutely nothing about their real whaling and eating culture!
i am including the southpark’s conclusion at the end when it talk about we kill chicken and cow.

yes, japanese has whaling culture
But, it didn’t start the large scale hunting “in Antarctica” until after WWII
and it use tools imported from norway back then.
now it still use tools and hunting methods “westhern style”
they are not using anything related to their own hunting ground and traditional technic/method.

yes, japanese has whale eatting culture.
But, the meat became widely eaten and popular only after the occupy of american on the islands.
before that, the meat was only eaten by very rich samuri family or in some small fisherman village. it had never been a popular dish and it has never been a national dish.

you want to talk about japanese culture? then study more before talk.

Never grew up watching American black-and-white, good guy wins bad guy loses type of hero comics but how can some of you are still not tired of such over simplified ideas of everything? Anime like South Park is an American treasure in that sense.

Whatever for or against to the whale hunting, at least Japanese don’t make films to criticize someone else’s culture, hate people for their traditions, try stopping it or changing it!!

When it comes to exploitation and hyprocrisy, Anglo-Americans take the cake.
Remember, as JC so eloquently put it, “let him who hath not sinned cast the 1st stone!”

But seriously let’s all get our priorities straight here and take care of our own species 1st eh?

So now we have someone (Venge) who doesn’t seem to understand what veganism is. If South Park really is having some profound message (yeah right) at the end then how is it applicable to vegans?

Of course humans have to consume life to survive. This is not disputed or misunderstood (except, perhaps, by people like you). But plants don’t have central nervous systems, or brains, or blood. And we don’t torture and slaughter plants in huge, industrialized concentration camps.

O, and being against the Japanese whaling is not “telling others how to live,” and I’m sick of that ridiculous argument. You may as well say we can’t prosecute criminals and murderers because we are infringing on their “way of life.”

We aren’t going to Japan and throwing their people in prison and taking away their freedom of religion or their human rights or anything similar. We are intervening in an illegal, commercial, industrial enterprise thousands of miles from Japanese territory in an Australian international whale sanctuary, and the Japanese are targeting/killing endangered species.

Elephant poachers in Africa are shot and killed. I don’t see you people protesting that. All we do is throw rotten butter at these poachers, and ya’ll are losing your minds over it. If the Japanese were actually doing what they are depicted as doing in the cartoon (killing marine mammals in Sea World) ya’ll would demand blood. The sad truth is that many of the animals held captive in marine parks are there because of whale/dolphin slaughter campaigns the Japanese run. Watch the documentary “The Cove” for more on that…
