Japan Plans to Ignore Any Ban on Bluefin Tuna

PARIS � Japan will not join in any agreement to ban international trade in Atlantic bluefin tuna under the United Nations treaty on endangered species, the country�s top fisheries negotiator said.
The negotiator, Masanori Miyahara, said in a telephone interview this week that Japan �would have no choice but to take a reservation� � in effect, to ignore the ban and leave its market open to continued imports � if the bluefin tuna were granted most-endangered species status. �It�s a pity,� he said, �but it�s a matter of principle.� Mr. Miyahara, Japan�s top delegate to the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, referred to as Cites, said the convention was the wrong forum for managing the fishing of the bluefin tuna. A formal proposal for a ban � which requires the approval of two-thirds of its 175 member countries � is scheduled to be presented at a Cites meeting next month in Doha, Qatar.


Apparently Japan has principles...

Nothing to do with the $10-100k per fish then??

For a pretty advanced society Japan is a fucking strange place. Anime, guys who are afraid of sex, and indiscriminate fishing of endangered fish as well as our dolphinese brothers and sisters.

Japan takes don't tread on me to a whole other level.

I love a lot of things Japanese but their insatiable appetite for seafood is a real shame. I mean look, I understand that in Japan, tuna is the equivalent of beef in the U.S., for example. But they really need to how restraint, find some culinary alternative for a little while. They don't HAVE to eat their maguro/toro, plenty of other fish to eat. At worst, jack up the price so much that only the very rich could afford it.

Lets just embargo them and let them kill everything they eat. Then they will be real fucked.

let em eat them all. who gives a shit? not me especially since ive never tried that fish before.


Posted by Halcyon+On+On on Feb-23-2010 01:40:

It's so hard to get people to care about what happens beneath the waters. Fish aren't fuzzy and cuddly, so suddenly they aren't worth saving. I am not going to pretend that I don't eat canned tuna or that my efforts in mere thought change a damn thing, but for fuck's sake, what happens in the ocean affects us all, and that is going to be a hard, irreversible lesson when it catches up to us.

So your comments are not in anyway racist as well? I'm failing to see the difference. You pull the "horrible white people" card way too often for me to even take you seriously.

Ignore him. He's a complete buffoon if he thinks anything I said was intended as racist.

I only commented because he does that type of thing all the time. From what I've heard about Japan from friends who have been there, including a friend who's Japanese (HOLY SHIT I'M WHITE AND HAVE A JAPANESE FRIEND) it is indeed a pretty fucked up place, in comparison to the west. I've also heard it's awesome, I would love to visit some day.


Posted by Lews on Feb-23-2010 02:11:

I'd love to go their someday, but I have a few Japanese friends and one friend who has been teaching Japanese High School for a few years now. It sounds horrible. Though also awesome. Such a fucked up place.

Nostalgic knows you're lying

Like when I dated that half-chinese girl for almost two years. Also a lie. I'm a white supremacist. Those azn and blackie friends are just a cover.
