They are vigilantes standing up against illegal whaling and protecting the whales. They actually PREVENT whales from being killed as well as reducing the profits of the whaling industry. Just because these people are liberal loons, doesn't mean that what they are trying to do isn't justified.

Do you guys support the Somali pirates as entrepreneurs?

Would you care more if they were killing (cute) Polar Bears?

I support these liberals. They are not trying to harm anyone. They are trying and succeeding to some extent in saving helpless endangered animals from being slaughtered under the false pretense of “research”.

Do any of you critics ever watch their TV show? It is a wonder that these idiots survive each episode, but they believe in what they are doing. I respect them for that, and agree with their goal of stopping the illegal Japanese whaling operation

I watch the show all the time. What a cluster of dumbasses.

I also do not care if the Japanese want to eat whales & club baby seals.

it is not illegal - the japanese are allowed to harvest these whales for science - now if its the science or biology - thats one thing - science of food is another....BUT - why dont they try and get the law changed instead of endangering LEGAL fisherman, trying to support their families.

I cant respect anyone that would hinder that

“They are not trying to harm anyone. “

Green lasers are harmful and using them an act of aggression worthy of violent reaction. These are not “harmless” liberals.

They actually PREVENT whales from being killed...

Bull...they don't prevent anything. They have YET to prevent the fleet from making their quota. Even Paul Watson admits that.

Pirates...hmmm...SSS are pirates.

Not trying to harm anyone? You admit you watch the show...so I guess you are not able to put 2 and 2 together? Let me enlighten you:

When you are attempting to foul a prop line...you are doing so in an effort to disable the vessel...so it cannot move. Having no steering in the open ocean is a death sentence as your ship will capsize in heavy seas.

On more than one occasion they have attempted to prop foul the ships in heavy weather. If they were to succeed...the ship would have likely floundered killing all on board.

And you sit here and say they aren't trying to HARM anyone? OMG....

And you are wrong there too. What they are doing is not illegal. They are obeying the laws as written. They are exploiting a loophole in an "international law" so that they can eat whale meat. The law allows them to harvest for research then sell the meat. The law doesn't say how the research is to be conducted. Technically there is nothing illegal.

Hmmm...wonder how many loopholes you exploit every day....or how many you will exploit come tax season.

I imagine some time in the future if the UN decides to make us all stop eating pork...will you exploit any loopholes...or will you just support the vigilanties that are trying to kill us while we exploit the loopholes?

We don't but you apparently do.

No.

Yes they are. Green lasers blind. That is trying to harm.

Do any of you critics ever watch their TV show?

Let me guess, you loved "Fahrenheit 9/11"?
