Should Australia take an aggressive stance against Japanese whalers?
Japan's current whaling program involves killing up to 1035 whales in the Southern Ocean each year for "science".
@92DPRNZ2yrs2Y
I don't agree with whaling but we can't be telling other cultures what to do when we still let our native people kill endangered animals like sea turtles and dugongs... So no.
@9HCXTZW4mos4MO
Not exactly, but prevent whaling in Australian waters, and take a diplomatic approach to discourage whaling.
Yes, when it violates our own waters, and we should work diplomatically with other nations to find alternatives to current natural and living resource depletion
@98YDX2R1yr1Y
Yes, however, the "aggressiveness" shouldn't be taking military actions, or shooting the Japanese Whalers.
Support more humane methods and a cap on the number based on observed populations and limit impacts on breeding Cycles
@9326HZV2yrs2Y
Take an active stance specifically against commercial whaling. Traditional hunting practices are not equivalent to commercially hunting endangered species to near extinction
@92WGVZH2yrs2Y
This shouldn’t be simply an Australian issue, this is global issue. We must do what we can with our resources and not exert those
Yes, if it is creating a large pollution issue or putting any creatures on a possible extinction watchlist
@92VPTG92yrs2Y
An active stance should be taken but not in a aggressive manner

we have Isolationism Full-Bore non-stop.
@8TQ7D3L3yrs3Y
The Australian government taking aggressive stances on other countries' environmental damage is deeply hypocritical given its track record, especially in the oceans
@8TD2MXG3yrs3Y
No, but make them pay taxes in our waters.
@8RM3D293yrs3Y
Allow certain species of whales to be harvested
@8D2H6GM4yrs4Y
Compromise with the Japanese dudes. It’s not hard.
I need to know how serious this issue is
@8GQNTRS3yrs3Y
Discourage whaling in general.
@GZLBYB3yrs3Y
Enforce whaling only in Japanese waters. Assist the Japanese in a sustainability program.
@GYWYJ73yrs3Y
Develop sustainable whaling to reduce the current decimation of tuna stocks.
