I know nothing about sonar logs. ZombieHorde Feb 2014 #2

I'm not really sure... clarice Feb 2014 #3

Doesn't make it right. nt clarice Feb 2014 #10

doesn't make them poachers nor thugs. NM_Birder Feb 2014 #12

They certainly are thugs, since they murder whales. redgreenandblue Feb 2014 #53

But, since they have the legal right to do this and since their ships are under attack rustydog Feb 2014 #40

Why would they need 1000 whales Texasgal Feb 2014 #11

I'm learning a lot more about whaling and the moratoriums than I expected. NM_Birder Feb 2014 #59

That's simply wrong. FBaggins Feb 2014 #62

Are you going to say, with a straight face, that the whalers are doing "research" .... Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2014 #15

Yeah, research with Texasgal Feb 2014 #17

No, I'll say correctly... NM_Birder Feb 2014 #20

So you believe they are harvesting them for research purposes?? AgingAmerican Feb 2014 #60

read my other answer, to your last post. NM_Birder Feb 2014 #61

It doesn't matter what we believe FBaggins Feb 2014 #65

Yep... it just isn't the type of research you expect FBaggins Feb 2014 #28

In 1986 the IWC issued a moratorium on commercial whaling in 1986. indie9197 Feb 2014 #16

Your post, made me really curious about the moratorium NM_Birder Feb 2014 #22

None, no they are not, and how do you know they are thugs? Demo_Chris Feb 2014 #8

They are soulless murderers! MoonRiver Feb 2014 #34

I've read that blanket condemnations of that which we know little about is due mainly... LanternWaste Feb 2014 #63

I don't need the captain's name to condemn gross negligence. nt Demo_Chris Feb 2014 #66

Check your history. Only, and I say ONLY the respect for life keeps the whalers flvegan Feb 2014 #39

Nah I'd expect them to unleash the Special Boarding Unit on them. TheMightyFavog Feb 2014 #42

Looking at the Video... Xyzse Feb 2014 #23

Generally I agree. FBaggins Feb 2014 #29

Wait, really? I thought the video I saw was from the SS Xyzse Feb 2014 #30

My apologies FBaggins Feb 2014 #31

Not a problem. I could get easily confused. Xyzse Feb 2014 #32

And as soon as the Japanese comply with international whaling regulations and treaties CreekDog Feb 2014 #37

no they aren't. CreekDog Feb 2014 #46

oh the 'research' is most likely bullshit for the most part Bodhi BloodWave Feb 2014 #47

if it's bullshit, then it's not legal CreekDog Feb 2014 #49

its arguable Bodhi BloodWave Feb 2014 #50

Of course they are FBaggins Feb 2014 #51

This has happened several times. These are avoidable collisions. NYC_SKP Feb 2014 #44

They are avoidable by refraining from whaling. redgreenandblue Feb 2014 #54
