Thatta boy Big Gunns Keep it up!

So, let me get this straight, you actually approve of sinking ships that are within their rights to harvest whales? Regardless of your opinion, whether it's wrong or right, do you honestly approve of piracy on the open waters.

All you have to do is look at the Sea shepherd's flag that it flies under. It's a Jolly Roger Flag. A flag that is internationally known to be a flag flown on pirate ships.

They admit to being pirates, but they are doing it for the good of the whale. Well, as long a Japan doesn't take more than their quota, they are doing NOTHING illegal. Immoral yes, big time, but not illegal. So when Neil says Japan is illegally killing whales, he is wrong.

As long as the Internation Whaling Committee approves of the number of whales Japan can harvest, it is a LEGAL action. Even if they say they are doing it all for research, they are within their rights to take that specific number of whales according to the IWC.

I jsut looked it up on the internet, it's actually called the International Whaling Commission.

If you have issues with Japan's whaling, this is where you should be directing your anger.
