recently there has been some interesting occurences in he southern seas, Japanese whaling ships shooting whales with explosive tipped harpoons before dragging the whales aboard and then disecting them with medievil style weapons - all while the creatures are still alive and bleeding
apparently it is for the benefits of scientific research
coincidentally enough whale meat is sold throughout Asia
?
surely this is 'tresspassing' on an intentional scale? what can research into the effects of explosives on whales and the nutritional value and taste of their meat possibly have to offer science?
if i was the prime minister i would have S.A.S troops jumping out of helicopters onto the whaling ships and 'nuetralising' the crew, this is not from a territorial, geographic boundaries perspective but simply for the horridness of the actions of certain Japanese whaleships in the waters south of Australia
are there any other thoughts or viewpoints upon this subject? do the Japanese have a right to shoot whales with explosive tipped harpoons? do the Australian Navy and Air Force have a right to shoot high explosive missiles at the Japanese whaling ships? do the Whales have the right to combine their own forces and attack the Japanese whaling ships 'Moby Dick' style?
???
