  I don't know the ins and outs, but from what I've heard, the outcome is better than what would've been a very bad compromise. There is no more room for compromise - this has gone on long enough. In the end, I think it will only be sustained outrage from Japan's own citizens that will bring their commercial whaling to an end, together with the rest of us global citzens keeping up protest action. I don't think politicians are going to solve this. Japanese whaling in their 'own' waters is bad enough, but coming down to the Southern Ocean and Antarctic waters is outrageous.

    I absolutely agree with you Merryn and from what I can gather from my Japanese daughter in law, the 'ordinary' Japanese very rarely eats whale meat and it is not something they think of when they think of eatin...which they think of a lot...:)..
    I think Green Peace worked on the ground in Japan to educate the people and when even the small percentage of the 'average' Japanese does not eat it, then it becomes much more obvious that that meat (..the killing and bloodshed) is in the name of greed, for the rich and priviledged from around the globe...
    If you have anough cash apparently, you can oprder your own batch from the catch...
    
    Oh God, we need more light....:)..:)..sigh...
