They were arrested and taken into custody in the middle of the hunt, and the Coast Guard cut the lines to the whale and allowed it to suffer until it finally died and sank. While almost no one can condone the acts of the whalers, even if one believes that it was a political act, I personally believe that the fact that the whale was allowed to continue to suffer and wasted cannot be condoned either.


Do you really believe they were just going to beach it and divvy it up in the village without looking over their shoulder to see if anyone saw them?

As with the flossing topic, legal does not mean ethical.

Your 17 year old apple of your eye daughter could one day decide to hook up with two of your 50 year old fishing buddies and have a 3 way. Are your buddies wrong? Legal? yes. Ethical? not really.


The guy is expressing facts while you are babbling on hypothetical scenarios. Who's got a blind eye here?

My take is, I have no problems with anyone killing whales or anything as long as it is within the LAW. This case is illegal and they should get the stiffest penalties. And I think they will. They are boiling already all over the news. The scummy liberal animal right's activist will get a good hearty feeding on this case. I hope this case is treated as a crime and not as an agenda.
