The population of many whale species has increased so much, they say, that the sheer volume of food they need has actually become a threat to the ocean (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-japan-whaling-conference0418apr18.story?coll=la&ap&topnews&headlines).

Posters already up in Shimonoseki show a voracious whale sucking the fish from a watery globe. Under the whale a caption said, "We can't put up with this."

I can't wait for MOS Burger's new Whale Burger combo.

BTW, it would be great if someone can find a shot of that poster!

Update: Collisions with ships become increasing cause of whale fatalities (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020420/ap_wo_en_ge/us_whale_ship_collisions_1).

Oops! I guess were gonna have to eat that one too.
