As much as I'm all for environmental protection, these assholes are putting human lives in danger to save a bunch of animals with their antics. They should feel so lucky that they aren't fired upon with real guns for some of the crap they pull. If you want to stop something, do it through legal avenues. Just because you may not be satisfied with those legal methods doesn't give you the right to take the law into your own hands. If everyone did that, our society would descend into a state of anarchy...

Personally I hope every single one of these assholes are either caught and imprisoned or shot... The fact that they are given their own TV show is ridiculous to me.

Oh, and LOL at the whole "prisoner of war" thing they're trying to play up. The idiot illegally boarded a foreign vessel from a jet ski under the cover of darkness in international waters. What did he think would happen? These people knew exactly what they were doing from the start.

your post is so ridiculous
first of all you say they are putting human lives in danger to save animals? you believe humans are somehow more important than any other animal? then you say they should be imprisoned or shot, when japanese whalers are illegally hunting whales in international waters? at least they are doing something, while the australian government is too pathetic to even take legal action against japan after saying countless times they are going to.

animal rights activists are scum of the earth. i hope they get tried for piracy and terrorism. the law of the high seas are hella different than laws on land. fishing industry is one of the biggest industries in japan.whales, fish, lobster, cows, pigs, are all the same. they are food and jobs for tens/hundreds of millions of people. im an american and japan has my support 100%. i hope these idiots are arrested and tried in japan and made an example of. its be nice to see them mess up and die or be shot by the japanese whalers, but u cant "make an example" out of the dead.

...The Japanese Whalers are hunting the whales Illegally most often or not. If anything, human population explosion has been the scourge we all ignore (seeing as we are human). I have read the captain's book on seal wars, and while I do not agree with all his methods, the usual methods do NOT WORK. He has tried that and failed several times; only extreme action has ever stirred humans to do something. Whales are also highly intelligent sentient creatures. Something has got to give. The environment has recently been warning us too that what humans are doing a wrong (so many earthquakes, floods, droughts, highly likely brought on by subtle human activities.)

That argument is quite the slippery slope. If humans are equal to any other animal, where do you stop? Are humans equal to dogs? rats? insects? trees? Is hunting ethical? Are they only equal to other mammals? In that case, why should genetic code determine the morals that you act with?

The whalers may be acting illegally, but vigilante justice is never the answer. They need to be brought down through legal avenues.

Legal avenues are often or not filled with red tape. The lesson I have gleaned is that whether it is about the whales, or simply education, when you do it legal, the opposing force will just use a loophole in the law. They play the game too easily. When they banned hunting seals, the seal hunters/politicians created a loophole in the law, citing that they couldn't hunt seals with their adult fur. The baby seals were mercilessly clubbed to death still. Politicians turn a blind eye to anything as long it gets them votes (or advocate something unworthy to get votes as vice/versa.)

As for education, I have read building schools out of stone by Greg Morteson, the bureaucratic offices bungle up giving building permits of schools so much in Kabul (in Afghanistan), that it can take months for a document to be stamped and signed. (excuses of office closed, person with key for cabinet containing file left). Out of impatience, they just built the schools while the red tape was going on. Also, a little screaming on the last day of the deadline for the permit helped tons. Voila, education for the children.

I hate PETA with a passion. These people almost make them second place, though.

People acting like idiots and assholes over animal rights only makes people less likely to feel sympathetic to the cause. They're only making things more difficult for themselves.

Emotions can sure run high for a topic like this huh. I'll say it bluntly. Every living thing is equally important for balance, you can't have too much, you can't have too little. Right now we can't even manage ourselves right (world hunger, warring countries etc.), so I'll embrace it as my duty to stay clean for the sorta round blob we live on.

Shit cannot reply to online comments. But I'll rephrase that then. Thank you for your most enlightening post. We still are the most destructive on the environment.

They're douchebags, but so are the whalers.

It's like a douchebag circle of life.

Funnily enough the japanese media turned the table on us and criticised us for culling Kangaroos in Canberra, when the two are completely unrelated, they're using scientific research as a cover to simply propping up an old fashioned industry.

All I meant by that phrase is I disagree with "putting human lives in danger to save a bunch of animals with their antics." It doesn't mean you can't eat animals because that would be fucking stupid, we have evolved to eat animals. Hunting is ethical as long as it is quick and as painless as possible. Whaling is not. That's besides the point, what they are doing is illegal, and as well as this unsustainable.

They need to be brought down through legal avenues.
Do you know how many times Kevin Rudd (prime minister of Australia) has insisted to take legal action against Japan on whaling? It was one of his promises that got him voted into government. Yet he has still done nothing... but can you really expect legal action against our greatest export market?
