Anybody out killing whales is pretty scummy - I don’t support vigleanteism but I don’t get as upset about when they go after genuine bad guys.
Now if these ram a boat in U.S. waters we should do something about it. But if whalers are out in international waters, breaking treaties that we signed and the whalers are not
U.S. registered then this seems to fall in a category where I would not want to see government resources spent.
If anything we should enforce the treaty too. Policing collisions between two foreign ships in international waters isn’t really our job.
