Oh, and lets not forget importing bluefin tuna. Alright then, take away some of their important food sources and give them something else. Hmmm...how about good old heart stopping beef, no better yet, seeing as Australia is so Animal Rights conscientious, force them to eat the meat of the largest wild animal slaughtered animal; good old roo. Maybe Australia will throw in some camels as well, or horse, feral this and feral that. Ok, so the idea is to get the Japanese to stop killing whales and dolphins.

Like... humane slaughter of food animals? I understand in Medieval Christian Europe animals were butchered alive because killing them first was "the Jewish way" of doing things (kosher) and therefore unacceptable to Mother Church. There's a simulated scene of this in the movie "The Name Of The Rose." If any other animal was being butchered this way the outcry would be deafening. Yes, the residents of Taiji have a lot to hide, as does the government that condones this horrible slaughter. “Some people might argue that a movie like The Cove is one-sided and appeals to the wealthy, elite Western ideals and culture.”
