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....

Mundo, The Captain who is a bully and an ass

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
