The US also does not recognize Antarctic territorial claims so your rant is meaningless. Sea Shepard are terrorists and YOU seem to be supporting them.
Sea Shepard has rammed and sunk ships before. They are nothing but money grubbing Eco-nazis. They should all be arrested and tried in Japan and toss in prison for terrorist attack on the ship.
How come after 12000 years of whaling we still have whales? Japan is not wiping out any species more fairy tales from the eco-Nazis.
