It is true that I am probably not angry enough about the Faroe whale slaughter, but they are much further away from me than Japan. I live on Canada's west coast, where Greenpeace began. There are far more flights between Vancouver and Tokyo than Vancouver and the Faroe Islands, and many more business and government connections. So it should be no surprise that I am more angry at Japan.

I am also no fan of the Canadian arctic whale harvest. That it is classified as "aboriginal whaling", and is much smaller, makes no difference to me. Dead whales are dead whales regardless who is killing them.
