nice catch on the "Throwing stink-bombs is no justification for a ramming of that magnitude."
Money and fame. They have a TV show, shitloads of money, pose as martyrs, the fat cunt even married an ex-playmate. He just invented an incredibly lucrative way of get stuff based on lies and never have to work hard on his life. They even have an office here in Brazil. Think about church. Not to mention that they´re racist as fuck. Paul Watson is from Canada, a country that do whalling, but only attack japaneses. Why isn´t he solving "the problem" on his backyard? Canada has much more land/people ratio than Japan. Maybe it´s because it won´t sell.
All these data about whale popullation are lies and bended specullations. There isn´t even a precise method of counting them.
Dude, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read. The dude has been doing this
since the 70s and has had the fame and money you talk about from the show for 2 years.
The reason they do it where they are doing it is because it's been designated a Whale Sactuary in those waters (By:
Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Chile, China (seat originally belonged to the Republic of China but was replaced by People's Republic of China upon the PRC's entrance into the United Nations), Costa Rica, Denmark, Dominica, Finland, France, Germany, Grenada, Guinea, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Mexico, Monaco, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Panama, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.)
Japan opposes this and makes up a bullshit reason to keep whaling for profit, by saying they are doing it for scientific research.
