lpv:spoken text	"I am strongly opposed to the hunting of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises). I believe the hunting of these creatures involves unacceptable cruelty and that well-managed, responsible tourism is the only truly sustainable use of these animals. I therefore strongly support the maintenance of the International Whaling Commission’s global moratorium on commercial whaling. Japan is legally bound by the IWC moratorium yet carries out large-scale whaling for so called ‘scientific research’. There is no valid scientific or other reason for these hunts and I urge Japan to cease its activities immediately. Japan does great harm to its reputation by carrying on these hunts and is undermining the global moratorium on commercial whaling."@en1
