Can you support this assertion with documentation? And if you are right then i fully support violating Japaneses sovereignty in this case. Sovereignty is not absolute.

Irrelevant. Plenty of animals that played vital roles in their environment have come and gone, and yet everything is still functioning.

Then you don't really understand the issue; the mounting toll we are exacting on the ecosystem. Its not just one species, its dozens, hundreds. And eventually there is a tipping point when the ecosystem in places collapses. There is a point when we can no longer exploit everything on the earth at the rate we do. Its simple math, it just cannot work. I absolutely in no uncertain terms support resistance against this practice in any and all nations, regardless of borders, laws, or sovereignty. The consequences of not resisting this are suicide of the entire human species.

They disagree with you. So do I.
