Is there anything that we, the average person not involved in the policies, the politics, or the industry, can do some to stop this killing of these endangered whales (specifically the resumption of whaling humpbacks before it even starts. I think if that were possible it would be easier than trying to stop them once the start again.)?
I can't think of anything that would really mean something to the Japanese. As in, I don't think they're going to give a hoot if we collect 1000 or 10 000 internet signatures. They don't seem to care that the whale flesh is poisonous with mercury and other toxins, that apparently most of their population isn't pro-whaling, and least of all that these whales are endangered! (By the way, this information has been published in peer-reviewed science journals) I mean even scientific studies don't persuade them, and we are certainly not capable of something on that stature. Again, just something I want people to think about, brainstorm.
Cheers...
