THE hunting fraternity should be really proud of themselves.
The Japanese are now using the excuse, that, because hunting of deer with dogs is allowed in this country, they are quite entitled to torture and kill whales.
They say there is no difference torturing deer while hunting than catching a whale. Both practices entail unspeakable cruelty.
Their conclusion is that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. The sooner the legislation goes through to ban hunting with dogs, the better for all animals worldwide.
This country will then be able to lecture to the rest of the world, with a clear conscience.
