If those guys were protesting the catching of Salmon, or trout or tuna whatever, could they pull off those stunts to you? I wonder exactly how far their responsibility goes when creating a dangerous situation like that?

That is my question, anybody know exactly when it would be allowed to go on the offense against such protest? The Japanese seem to be there legally.

They brag that they are responsible for sinking 10 Whaling ships so far.

Rules of crossing at sea, the vessel on port must give way to the vessel on the starboard. The Japanese ship seems to be in the wrong and indeed aiming for the smaller boat. If the Sea Shepherd didn't get into trouble for ramming and sinking 10 whaling ships I see little or no consequence for the Japanese disabling the Ady Gil.?
