Whale oil is a renewable resource. Obviously, people who care about the environment would prefer the use of Whale Oil to the use of fossil fuels.

I have no love for the eco-nut pirates, but...
Japan plans to hunt almost 1,000 minke and fin whales for research over the Antarctic summer, but has abandoned the cull of 50 humpback whales after international condemnation and a formal diplomatic protest by 31 nations.
Research? What kind of research requires that you kill over 1000 of them? What products are they harvesting that can't be obtained or manufactured using other means? Is this just high-dollar sushi?

The Institute for Cetacean Research, which is linked to the Japanese government, confirmed the two men were detained and locked in a room on the ship, but denied claims by the Sea Shepherd founder, Paul Watson, that the two had been assaulted and bound by a rope to a mast.
Hope they used to right knot..

Oh man, don’t demean my man Farley Mowat. I don’t agree with him on 95% of his writings, but, damn, he is a good writer. (See A Whale for the Killing).

If they boarded the Yushin Maru no. 2 without an “invite”, they may legally be detained as potential pirates under international law. That’s my Law Of The Sea.

Thanks for the link.
I did not see the greenie ships, that I saw detailed photos of a year or so ago.
The leading tip of the ship had been reinforced as a battering ram and could slice into a ship and cause it to sink.
I do not recall if the photos were here or in an Australian publication....
evil people are in this world, to save one fish, they do not count the number of humans they kill.
