The Japanese behavior with regard to whaling has simply been dishonorable.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

A lot of money changes hands in Japan over whale meat.

If you wanted to stop this market, just find a few whales infected with Mad Cow disease.

What is really at issue here is two turds boarding a vessel without permission, or color of law, meaning to do harm. Piracy by any definition
