Additionally, Norway harvests over 1000 whales per year to the Japanese 1300. Also, Norway and Iceland both hunt whales for commercial purposes.

Why aren't the Sea Shepherd terrorists harassing Norwegian and Icelandic whalers?

What's got your panties in such a wad over a few hundred Minke whales, none of which are on any endangered species lists?

The Japanese, Norwegians, and Icelanders have international law and agreements on their side; they have allowances to harvest "x" number of whales of specific species per year. Don't like it? Get the laws changed. In international waters, your feelings don't mean squat.

True. International law trumps over emotional feelings any day. Especially ‘for the whales’.
