So in your view it is completely legit for the Japanese government to defy a 1963 ban on whaling put in place after whales were nearly hunted to extinction?
And you would even go so far as to have the japanes government kill people to protect their determined desire to violate this ban?
And what for? So a few japanese businessman can turn a profit as they try and hunt these whales to extinction again?
I hope that if Watson actually follows through with his threat that no whale or humans get killed or maimed. But I will take the side of Watson and the Whales any day over a bunch of exploitive money grubbers simply looking to make a few dollars off the industrial level slaughter of dozens of whales.
If the IC won't intervene to enforce the ban, then i can't help but wish Watson the best of luck on his journey.
