i don't see how these whale advocates are any less criminal than those anti-abortion advocates that terrorize abortion clinics.

Well supposedly the japanese are allowed to catch more then just the minke's. they have a quota every year, which they said on the that they can catch 10 of one of the endangered species. i forget the exact name.
i definitely do not think that these guys should be boarding any of the japanese fleet. but as far as the buteric acid, the japanese in the show are no angels. They throw things back, use LRAD, and use water cannons. Sure they were provoked first... but it's still an entertaining show and I do not agree with whaling any endangered species on purpose.
