The Japanese ships are back killing the gentle giants of the sea in a bloody massacre. The Japanese need to be reminded by Mother Nature once again this year that this has got to stop. I wish Mother Nature sends an earthquake so large that it destroys most of Japan and brings the Japanese to their knees begging Her to forgive them for the senseless slaughter of whales. This is my prayer to Mother Nature.
And in the meantime, please release the three Australians citizens and supporters of the Sea Shepherd Marine Conservation Group. And if the Japanese ship doesn’t oblige then the Australian Government should make an example and board the ship, rescue the environmentalists and sink the Japanese ship. Mindless slaughter of whales has to stop either which way.
All right thinking Australians stand up and be counted…stand with your mates who are imprisoned on a Japanese ship!

Three Australian anti-whaling activists who illegally boarded a Japanese whaling vessel on Sunday could face trial and imprisonment in Japan, prompting attempts by the two countries to head off a diplomatic clash over the annual hunt.
The men, supporters of the Sea Shepherd marine conservation group, boarded the Shonan Maru 2 security vessel under cover of darkness and demanded that the fleet abandon its hunt in the Antarctic.
The three Australians carried with them a message that said: “Return us to shore in Australia and then remove yourself from our waters.”
