Hi John,
It was I who declared the japanese and Icelanders to be a bunch of twats because of their atitudes to whales/dolphins/sharks etc..
I have some sympathy with Steve W's stance, the more irate you get with these people, the more you play into their hands.
How different the attitude would suddenly become if somebody kicked the family pet up the arse! Shrieks of cruelty to animals would abound. But the same caring dog owners can somehow equate the connivance of the British, and other fawning governments, as "positive action" when it comes to safeguarding the seas, its life, eco balance, call it what you will.
And of course the BSAC council are really making a grandstand effort. Who?
When??? Where?
How???
Meanwhile this time next year we will have thousands less whales, sharks and dolphins, more damaged corals etc etc, and Divernet will still rant and rave and bar people over the word "twats" or similar everyday expletives.
Puts the thing into perspective doesn't it??
The simple thoughts of a shark/whale/dolphin lover and a dog owner to boot!!
