Whale's win!!! Fuck YOU, Japan!
http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_060620_2.html

6/20/2006
"The 58th Annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) ended today in St. Kitts & Nevis.

In brief the whales did not lose any ground this year despite efforts by Japan to bribe as many small needy nations as possible to join the IWC.

Togo arrived two days late for the meeting to pay their membership fees. The money was in a brown paper bag - $13,000 in Japanese Yen. Togo and Japan both insist that Togo’s decision to join the IWC and to vote for Japan’s pro-whaling initiatives are independent positions by Togo without influence from Japan.

The Japanese certainly seem to think the rest of the world is just plain dumb."
