Several whale-hunting vessels have taken to the waters from Japanese ports with the official start of the commercial whaling season.
They plan to catch 120 minke whales in the coming months.
On Saturday, four ships – two in Miyagi Prefecture on the east coast of Japan’s main island of Honshu and two in Aomori Prefecture in its north – departed from ports to coastal Pacific waters. A fifth vessel will join them later, leaving from Hokkaido, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported.
“We would like to provide fresh and delicious whales for everyone who is waiting,” Nobuyuki Ito, president of a whaling company in Miyagi Prefecture told the agency.
During this third season of commercial whaling, which controversially relaunched after a decades-long ban, hunters expect to catch 120 minke whales. The species is a principal target of the whaling industry.

“You are looking at the most dangerous animal in the world. It alone of all the animals that have ever lived can exterminate (and has) entire species of animals. Now it has achieved the power to wipe out all life on earth.” Great Apes House, Bronx Zoo (NYC), 1963.
The exhibit behind the caged bars was a mirror!!
“No animal ever torments just to torment; but this is what man does, and this is what constitutes the diabolical character, which is far worse than the merely animal”!
‘Arthur Schopenhauer’
Schopenhauer’s words explain why the slogan is correct

3rd of April
“April 1993, about 40 hunt saboteurs were present at the closing meeting of the Cambridgeshire Foxhounds (CFH) at Low Farm near Gravesley in Cambridgeshire.
With the group of saboteurs was Tom Worby, a 15 year old from Milton Keynes, on his first day out sabbing.
His girlfriend had seen the hunt sab information stall in the city center some days before and expressed an interest to join us. She then came with her boyfriend for their first day out sabbing.
When we saw the hunt, they had just started drawing in a wood neighboring Low Farm. We all went into the fields outside the wood and called the hounds. Some came out, followed by an irate Joint Master, Geoffrey Fox.
After shouting some abuse at sabs, Mr. Fox went back into the wood. Sabs stayed put and kept calling with similar success.
So, the whole hunting field came out, including huntsman and the hounds, and just gathered in the fields adjacent to the sabs.
Some lively discussions went on between hunters and sabs and it soon became pretty obvious that the hunters had just called police and were waiting for their arrival.
After a while, one policeman arrived.
He went into the fields and spoke for a long time with the hunters.
Then he came over to the sabs and announced that he felt we were trespassing and should be leaving. Sabs told him that this was not his business and that they were just sitting around in the sun and not really breaking any laws.
The policeman then went back to the hunters, and after some more back and forth, and when it had become clear that the police was not able to remove sabs and not willing to put more resources into this operation, the hunt suddenly left-back to Low Farm.

METALLICA’s Playful Video Response To Animal-Rights Activists Opens ‘Sensational’ GLASTONBURY Set Glastonbury Festival, June 29, 2014
METALLICA’s appearance Saturday night (June 28) at the Glastonbury festival marked the first time in the U.K.s event’s 44-year history that a metal act has topped the bill.
The heavy metal giants faced much controversy when they were first announced as headliners — drawing criticism for frontman James Hetfield’sapparent support of bear hunting and with many arguing that the band had no place at Glastonbury, a very laid-back type of festival, with more of a hippie/indie vibe than most.
Indirectly responding to a petition— which came in the form of a now-deleted Facebook page — launched last month calling for METALLICA’s removal from the festival, due to Hetfield hosting a new series about bear hunting on the History channel, METALLICA took to the stage last night to a Julien Temple-directed intro video showing a traditional British fox hunt where all four band members played hunt saboteurs, disguised bears, and killing hunters.
The eight-minute video, which can be seen below, was soundtracked by SWEET’s glam rock classic “Fox On The Run”and included a clip of the classic film “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly”, in tribute to actor Eli Wallach, who died this week.
Watch the video below.
And I mean…This film was funny and clever and they did an amazing performance at Glastonbury leaving everyone pleased. To imitate a good example!

TheAwassi Expresssailed from Australia’s winter to the Middle Eastern summer in the lead up to the annual Muslim festival of sacrifice. But something went “wrong”. Approximately 2,400 sheep didn’t make it to port.
They died of heat stress, some trapped in a bog of excrement, and someone on board filmed it.
This hell for the animals continues to this day.
One mass murder chases the next.
Decaying animals that lie in the ship for days and weeks, and not even a responsible person who would have to be released for violating the law, cruel conditions in mobile coffins with exotic names such as “Al Shuwaikh,” “Karim Allah”, “Elbeik”… the list could go on and on and everyone is horrified for a few days, everyone calls for more “animal welfare” and “respect for animal laws” but – as always – nothing changes.
And we can be sure that what we learn through videos is only a small part of what is really happening, and most importantly, we can be sure that such crimes happen much more often than we know.
And every time we write petitions to politicians, ministers, commissions, that means to bodies that treat their grandmother’s old console better and more carefully than do with animals.
Hypocrisy, ignorance, indifference to cruelty, mass murders, violations of protective laws and agreements – these are the main characteristics of everyone who benefits from animal corpses
Rights and dignity are reserved exclusively for humans and are often completely denied to non-human animals.
The machinery draws its energy from the large power stations of business, press, religion, and politics, but the energy itself is extracted in the deep, dark pits of human stupidity.
We don’t have to wait for politicians or laws.
We can always start to create real animal welfare by denying the animal profiteers our money.
Where there is no demand, there is no production and where there is no production, there are no “failures” and not even “unfortunate individual cases”.

From the Facebook page of the Austrian animal rights activist Martin Balluch
“Incomprehensible!
A “citizens ‘initiative against animal factories” has put up a poster that reads:
“God protect us from poisonous farmers! No germs and antibiotics on our families’ plate”.
Content of the poster: “God protect us from poisonous farmers! No germs and antibiotics on our families’ plates “!
A criticism of pesticides without specifically addressing anyone.
The farmers’ union felt addressed and sued for revocation and omission, although the union is not even mentioned.
As a result, a judge whose husband works in a company that is 100% owned by Raiffeisen * Markt actually ruled that:
– the farmers’ union was meant and therefore may complain – it is a statement of facts and not an opinion – these facts are incorrect.
Therefore, the citizens ‘initiativemust revoke the statement as untrue, publish the revocation in the “Kleine Zeitung” (small Newspaper) and on a poster for a fee, and pay the farmers’ union money(!!!)
It is hard to believe what kind of judges there are. We had it very often in animal welfare.
It is to be hoped that this disgrace will be reversed in the instance.”
* Raiffeisen: is the brand or name part of more than 330,000 companies that deal with agricultural products in the upstream and downstream sectors as well as general financial services worldwide.
And I mean…The farmers’ association, which is of course known to play the victim, said: “Our local farmers don’t deserve to be denigrated like that, because they produce high-quality food 356 days a year“ !!!
Since when have environmental polluters been portrayed as victims?
The farmers think it is completely okay to put pigs in cages for 4 months in which they cannot turn around, mothers take their children away, kill excess piglets and when they have exploited cows enough, they let them kill the last moneyclose.And that is subsidized!
If I am not an animal abuser, then I do not use them for my economic interests either.
Animal breeding alone is torture because the animals are bred for maximum performance and have physical problems (especially with poultry).
Where’s the animal owner’s love in this business?
And now there is something else: How much groundwater is contaminated by the liquid manure? We afford the luxury of destroying our environment so that we can worship our daily flesh.
And thus give the animals a torturous life.
I think it would be very fair if the farmer paid for the removal of the nitrates from the water; after all, he caused it.
A vile and despicable judgment, the lobby at its worst.
