This is in no way the same as saying i support an deliberate attempt to kill the whalers. The attempt and the intent is only to stop them from whaling.
You and others have made the same argument justifying collateral damage im sure. And if the consequences of not taking action are worse than the collateral damage it is justified. Right?

There is NO such thing as a small risk during a collision at sea, especially in frigid waters. Saying the risk is small is silly.
