Like toyoto and honda, they can only hide the dirt for so long. There’s a trade war in the making as more people are shunning Japanese made products due to their utter contempt for marine life.

This is an issue where I'm not tolerant and don't want to be! There is absolutely no valid reason for whaling to persist nowadays. There is no scientific research whatsoever - it's a load of bull! Whaling still exists because the japanese mafia is behind it. There are moments when diplomacy doesn't work. This is one of those moments - I say do as the alleged (http://www.sfbayview.com/2009/you-are-being-lied-to-about-pirates/) pirates from Somalia and capture the whaling ships; then get the crew out of there and sink the ships!! Extremist? Absolutely!! So it is murdering whales because of some hidden interest that no government has had the balls to expose so far!! Oh and btw the japanese whalers are violating international agreements and laws by capturing whales where it's forbidden to do so. And why no one says anything about that? Because japan is an economic power. Money always wins and always comes first... :( Therefore they continue to mock other nations by acting wildly against international laws... What makes them so different from other criminals? Oh yeah right, they are rich and powerful criminals...

Governments that claim to be working to bring an end to commercial whaling nevertheless all publicly condemn Sea Shepherd for its actions. But, strangely, they say little or nothing about the behaviour of Japanese vessels. I wonder why not? I have long been doubtful whether Sea Shepherd's activities and proclivity to violence against property if not against people, really helped whales. But after nearly fifty years of campaigning for better treatment of the whales I have come to the conclusion that SS actions are now almost the only relevant activities to overcome the relative death of endless well-meaning talk.
