Wow. I didn't realize it was the same boat.

I'm not too sure these Whale Warrior folks "get it". They've been harassing the Jap whalers for years, with what result? Going to "war" for a cause that you're willing to die for, but not willing to kill for, seems strategically unsound. Start sinking some of those whaling ships, and take the consequences. The whalers aren't doing it because it's fun, they're doing it because it's insanely profitable for them, with minimal risk. They obviously don't give half a flying shit about global public opinion. Currently, there's very little incentive for them to stop.
