These killings are inhumane and endangering the worlds oceans. Their meat is extremely toxic, even researchers from Japan have said this. You are harming yourselves and your future generations. You can disagree with this all you want, but when your children, or your children's children, start becoming very ill, you will wish you would have listened. This is not about taking your culture from you. This is not about bulling you. Its simply about the preserving our oceans and our children's health and future. Know that we will find away to stop the whaling and murdering of dolphins in Japan and around the world. It is just a matter of time, so you might as well jump on board. If you accept it now, it will make it that much easier in the long run.
(EDITED 1/29/2010... I just want to take a second to apologize for not stating something a little more clearly. We know that not everyone here from Japan are spy's. We in no way mean to offend anyone. I should have taken more time to THANK those of you here from Japan that are here to learn about what is going on. We truly appreciate you all taking a stand against these causes and wanting to make a change. You being here means everything to us. And I am truly sorry for not making that more clear. I have received alot of hate comments over the past week. Although I didn't mean for it to effect my posts, it obviously did. For that I am truly sorry. We are not here to bash anyone, not even the people who are leaving hateful comments. Our goal is to educate and reach out to everyone we can, not to offend anyone. Again, I am really sorry. )
For the Oceans!
:-( we aren't all here to spy. I don't think it's fair to say that. I just told a few of my Japanese friends about this blog. I hope that they don't feel unwelcome now. I am sure there are some people who are spying, but some are just curious :-)
ReplyDeletePeace
Oh Sweetie, you miss understood me. I said, I know most are here to spy, not all. And I only said that because of all the hate comments I am now getting. I know that not all are here to spy, and I am so very thankful, for those who are here to learn. I guess I should have taken more time to thank those who are here for the right reasons. Please do not take offence. I didn't mean it that way at all. I am so very sorry, and will go back and edit it, I should have made it more then just a sentence. I am truly sorry that I offended you.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, I didnt see the hate comments so it was hard to understand where you were coming from.
ReplyDeleteI know you didn't mean any offense, but I just had to put myself in the shoes of a newcomer, especially a Japanese newcomer, to your blog and I thought that some of them could be offended or feel unwelcome.
Now that I know you have been getting horrible comments I can understand totally. Thankyou for your edit :-)
I really appreciate all that you are doing and absolutely love your blog.
Peace
Kim~ I will not publish the comments. Some, I will publish in a post that will directly answer some of their comments. Others are just mean and hateful, and I will not allow that here. I really do want to welcome all our guest! And the Japanese guest are very important to us. I do not bash or name call, there is no need for that stuff. I try to stay along the lines of educational, with a mix of our point of view. Although I am against the killing of whales and dolphins, I am in NO WAY against the people of Japan. I used the picture of my son waving, as a sign of true greeting. :) I want everyone to feel welcomed here!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with not publishing hateful comments. It just encourages more hate, I feel.
ReplyDeleteI know 100 percent that you are not against the people of Japan. I can see that you have a beautiful heart and soul.
Thank you for all that you are doing.
Peace
