BTW Japanese whaling level has remained steady for years even with Capt. Crunch’s effort where he spent millions and endangered countless young lives.
The fact that the Japanese go on killing thousands of whales despite the efforts of the "hippies" just indicates how the Japanese haven't changed a bit from their primitive and brutal habits. The fact that the "hippies" have been largely ineffective is because they are using nonviolent means. A torpedo or a limpet mine would be far more effective.
