My point being that the mission of the GP boat was to disrupt the passage
of
the "research" vessel. Now I am not fond of the idea of killing whales
(unless they are gay, young, and christian) but these guys on the
"research"
boat are doing a job that some government condones and are in fact poor
working stiffs. If you want to stop whaling you must end the demand for
the
products....

I agree that they were just working guys, but the argument could be made
that they are also responsible for the killing of the whales... I know, they
would just get fired if they refused, but that usually isn't a good defense.
I don't believe it's much of an issue any more, but I'm not that up on it.
Besides, I don't eat blubber. g


If the Japs did not eat blubber either then the ships could not
operate. The big money is in high yen resturants in Tokyo. You're not
a true jap unless you eat whale. It a long standing tradition in
Japan. The oil is sold, but synthetics do a better job for the
applications. s
