Legal or not, don't ya think the Japanese captain and crew eventually get tired of being screwed with by these jokers? I think I might veer to starboard myself.

Not trying to stir the pot, just trying to wrap my feeble mind around this.

So out of all the species to have lived on the planet, there are only 1% of them left on Earth?

I can't see the 1% remaining either, not trying to pick a fight. It is what it is. I just find it hard to believe that we are responsible for the demise of 99% when we are still adding newly discovered species all the time. Where is the categorized list? Let's start with mammals. You may be right but it can't have happenned in my short lifetime. Taking whales ain't right for me, but if whaling is a sustainable fishery, my opinion don't count for much.
The footage taken from the Bob Barker showed how fast the Japanese Vessel was moving atop some pretty big swell. The captain had enough room to steer away but he obviously turned in. It looks to me like a 20 degree or greater course change over the time frame of a couple waves. Then a last minute turn away without the same wave action plowing on the bow and BAM. Destroyed in seconds. The Japanese captain put them all at risk but the enviros were there at their own risk to start with IMO.

Please forward the following to the Sea Shephard,
"Ridge Runner has three vessels that can be used/wasted ramming whaling ships. All three vessels could be carried on deck and all three can be had for less $$$ than you spent on fuel for your last voyage. Since you are hell bent on destroying property the condition of the vessels are of no consequence. All vessels are Coast Guard equipped and are certified to make best ramming speed or better."

Maybe CTT is saying that of the species that are extinct, humans are responcible for 99% of em............who knows.

What I don't understand about the hippies trying to stop the whalers is why don't they go ahead and use bombs and guns....they are already assaulting the Japanese by throwing acid at them and trying to damage their props.....if you are going to use force....USE FORCE!

Because that is piracy on the high seas, and when you start doing that laws of nations fall apart and the seas become a no mans land where anything goes whatever your agenda or your greed or your particular taste for evil.

Hell yeah, lets take it back to the 1600's when piracy was in it's hey-day! That sounds like it could be fun.
