捕鯨問題に関する Geoffrey Keezer とのやりとり
@georgenagata Please translate: I love Japan, but WHALING MUST STOP. I call on all my Japanese fans to take action! http://bit.ly/bbxSso
2010-02-09 16:43:20世界的ピアニスト @geoffreykeezer からのtweet訳依頼 「僕は日本が好きですが、捕鯨活動は停止して欲しい。日本の僕のファンの皆さんも是非支援を!」 Here it is, geoffrey. 彼は日本に住んでいたし、沖縄音楽とのコラボもしてて親日は事実なのだ。
2010-02-09 17:51:33@geoffreykeezer While I love your piano & against whaling, I can not support the way SS handles the matter - talk yes, fight no.
2010-02-09 17:56:52@georgenagata "talk" has accomplished nothing, meanwhile 1000's of endangered whales r being killed in Antarctic Whale Sanctuary.
2010-02-09 22:43:38@obarin Japan is illegally hunting 1000's of endangered whales in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary :( . whales r very intelligent
2010-02-09 22:46:14Japan abides by IWC scientific whaling numbers; catch 850+220 non-endangered antarctic/minke whales out of 467,000 approx. @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 01:07:09Even when assuming whaling illegal, still can't accept Sea Shepherd's dangerous sabotage tactics. 2 wrongs don't make right @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 01:07:27Whales are very intelligent. Cows and pigs are a bit dumber, as are Kangaroos. What's the intel threshold to justify kills? @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 01:07:55To Indians cows are God. Are Indians sabotaging slaughterhouses? Japanese adore kangaroos, so should we bully Ausie hunters? @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 01:09:03For whatever reason, some people in Japan live on whaling. I don't have the audacity to deprive the right of those people. @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 01:10:04For those reasons, I don't support whaling, but can not support the anti-whaling activities carried out by Sea Shepherd. @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 01:12:31@georgenagata Japan sets its own catch limits. Most of the whale meat rots on shelves or goes to pet food. A terrible waste of life.
2010-02-10 01:51:18@georgenagata Japan is also hunting endangered humpback whales, in an internationally recognized whale sanctuary.
2010-02-10 01:51:58@georgenagata once you've looked a humpback in the eye and listened to their songs underwater with ur own ears, you're forever changed.
2010-02-10 01:56:38@geoffreykeezer I've surfed tons of sessions with dolphins, but when a whale swam by La Jolla I was intimidated by its size.
2010-02-10 02:09:31As stated already, I'm against whaling and wouldn't eat whales or dolphins unless there's absolutely nothing else to eat, @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 02:11:19I also think whaling is a huge waste of our taxpayer yen - $120M to build new ship to catch & sell (or rot) unpopular meat @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 02:14:28@obarin Sea Shepherd is currently blocking the factory ship Nisshin Maru, preventing them from loading whales on board.
2010-02-10 02:15:13@obarin By contrast, Nisshin Maru and Shonan Maru have rammed SS's boats, sunk 1, and left them to die.
2010-02-10 02:16:33But still against Sea Shepherd tactics. Prefer Greenpeace. Their info is more objective & in Japanese. http://bit.ly/cKYy8r @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 02:16:38Education and communication - yes. Violence, terrorism and misinformation - no. @geoffreykeezer
2010-02-10 02:18:32My fave quote - "You think we're fighting, I think we're finally talking!" - Rod Tidwell from "Jerry Maguire" @geoffreykeezer good night!
