I also signed the petition, but I also respect the fact that Stefan has a mind of his own and thinks for himself. Too many people have a "follow the herd" mentality and don't think for themselves. I do, however, see differences between Finland's subsistance lifestyle and Japan's whaling "research." Alaskan natives also conduct annual whaling, but it's also a necessary part of their subsistance lifestyle. Their villiages wouldn't survive without the bounty from the sea... unlike Japanese villiages.

Anybody know what happened to the Japanese whaling ship (I mean scientific research vessel) that was ablaze in the Antarctic a couple of weeks ago?
