I am glad you are defending our whales. Like the elephants, these creatures were not meant to be farmed, harmed and obliterated. They were made big for a reason. Once they are gone, what will be next? Once the Japanese and Norwegians have eaten them all and extinction is inevitable will we then turn to the sky? Here's a slice of the moon..a delicacy in Japan-I'm sure you'll like it. We'll live in darkness but it sure as hell tastes good.
I watched a whale hunt in Canada on a documentary and heard the sad moan of a slayed whale and felt my soul sink. I pained for that animal. In America, the wild horses of the west are rounded up to be eaten by the Swedes. What's next???? Anything beautiful is to be eaten? I know a mountain or two I stand near and become hypnotized, yet would not dare to take a spoonful.

Hi CA,
I like your post, and I am from Sweden and a horseperson as well and I have never heard that the Swedes import horse meat from the US!! Yes, the Italians , the Spains and the Belgians do that but I doubt the Swedes eat much horse meat.

FYI Iceland is a big exporter of horse meat.

Hi Andrew and friends onboard our TWO vessels! So great and exciting to have the Arctic and the Espy going to hunt for the hunters. I wish you all the best for finding the Japanese whaling fleet and I will pray Mother Nature for telling you where to catch those whalers.
Bon voyage, et bon vent !

PS: whazat "konichiwa" ???

Hello Francios,

Konichiwa - a Japanese word for "Hello." Use it to say "good morning," "good afternoon," "good evening," or just plain "hello" to your guest.

Good luck - you have our warmest thoughts going with you. Two boats of very brave people. Your job is essential - sadly! When will the world wake up to the damage it is doing? Perhaps you can enjoy the experience of the beauty around you and the creastures you will encounter before you see the horrors of the whaling. We shall follow your webblog with interest!

Thank the sun and the stars that there are people like you, prepared to go further, prepared,if needs be, to risk your lives, for life, for hope, for the future of that that can not protact itself. You are in our hearts and heads, gods speed.

Hi Ann,
greetings from Helsinki forest briefing :) When I used to live in Sweden I was amazed about the amount of sausages in the shops with horse meat in them. Maybe I checked the wrong Kind, but I got the impression that Swedes do eat a lot of horse meat. In Finland a bigger problem is that sick horses can't be put to sleep because slaughterhouses don't want them.
