(12,618 posts)The same world governments that stood by while the U.S. invaded Iraq? The same world governments that did nothing to stop the genocide in Rwanda? And actually, Australia has been actively trying to get Japan to stop its whaling practices, so not all governments agree.
By your own admission, you admit the scientific research thing is bullshit. So if you realize it, I'm willing to bet they do as well. Just because the world governements are too weak to stand up to Japan doesn't mean that they're not in violation of the law. What kind of research are they doing that requires 1000 whales a year to be slaughtered? How many corpses do you really need to learn what it is you need to learn?
Governments are weak and corrupt and easily bought. If they don't have the guts to enforce the law, then I'm more than happy to support Sea Shepard in doing it.
