Thanks for the observations about Greenpeace tactics and agenda. People like Martin miss the figurative use of fascist because they don’t want to admit how clearly it symbolizes the MO of Greenpeace and other over-zealous, misguided environmental groups. Even using his Webster definition, one would simply need to replace the words ‘animals’ and ‘environment’ for the words ‘nation’ and ‘race’ and his own definition would be spot on regarding Greenpeace!

Your concern about shark population shows you are concerned about the environment (like most of us are) but we just don’t buy into the ideology of ’save the spotted owl, and humans be damned’ mentality that these groups espouse.

Keep telling the truth, even if some people refuse to believe it.

I’ve seen first hand how they work with governments in developing countries to make things happen. It’s not high profile stuff and it’s not glamorous and often it’s dangerous because they’re dealing with nasty big money corporations who have no problem hiring hit men, gangs, or even worse, lawyers. The high profile stuff is just to get funding for the real work they do.

The tactics used by groups like this are despicable, the ends does NOT justify the means. When you use such sleazy tactics you are no better than the groups you claim to be against. Greenpee is a joke, just like Al Gore and all the other eco hypocrites who want to tell us all how to live our lives. While they live theirs however they dam well please.

“Nintendo has not been badly rated by Greenpeace. Greenpeace chose to conduct a survey and produce a report, which graded companies upon the voluntary submission of information.

“Nintendo decided not to take part in the survey and were therefore ‘ungraded’ in the resulting report. Nintendo provides detailed information regarding our compliance to EU Directives via the Consumer Section of our website and therefore we felt it unnecessary to take part in the Greenpeace survey.

“Furthermore, we fully comply with all the necessary EU Directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances aimed at environmental protection and consumer health and safety. Furthermore, in order to ensure our products are safe for use by young children we also take into consideration the standards applicable to toys.”
