There simply is no space here for animals to range freely (my living room excepted). In fact, most of the farming that I see here is very small-scale and probably is "virtually" organic (whatever that might mean!).<BR/><BR/>Regarding the url/link business, I can't be sure why it isn't linking to your site, but I notice that there's a drop-down menu that allows you to sign in through a variety of accounts (wordpress, etc.).

In Japan it's whales and dolphins, my man!<BR/><BR/>As far as the seal hunt goes, I don't really believe much from either side. Joking aside, I don't really see the need, in this day and age, to kill animals simply for their skins. Synthetic stuff is much easier to keep clean! <BR/><BR/>As a meat-eater myself, killing them for food is another matter entirely. Regarding whales, I think the Japanese would be best served just giving the whole thing up--it's not like it's a necessary food source for them, and the bad PR just isn't worth it, regardless of whether or not whales are "intelligent" and/or "endangered".Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630742048605089548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160223.post-66676525048452985382008-01-10T08:27:00.000+09:002008-01-10T08:27:00.000+09:00Maybe those crafty Japanese engineers men could co...Maybe those crafty Japanese engineers men could come up with an equivalent for their own market - a therapeutic shark whose fin you can lovingly cut off in the name of dubious "traditional medicine", subsequently throwing the rest of the useless thing back into the water to short-circuit?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and in the interests of balance...<BR/><BR/>http://www.seashepherd.org/seals/seals_seal_hunt_facts.html<BR/><BR/>(Apols, that was all WAY too preachy.
