Three activists 'prisoners' after slipping aboard Japanese ship

You sound like a spokesperson for the Japanese whaling industry. Yes, Japan is breaking the law. They are taking way more whales than is needed for scientific research. They are exploiting a loophole and using it to make a profit. You are never going to convince me that it takes 1000 dead whales a year for scientific research, and I don't care who was "very pleased" with the results (could you be just a tad more vague there?).

The law that SHOULD be enforced is the international ban on whaling. Period. I'm even against killing them for scientific research, but even within that loophole, it's pure bullshit to say that any kind of research requires 1000 whales per year to be killed.

And I'll ask you again, since you don't seem to be able to answer the question, what is this "research" that needs so many whales to be killed? All you can say is that somewhere, sometime, some person said they were "very pleased" with what they were seeing. Oh, well shit. I'm super satisfied. Gee, in no way would the whaling industry try and pump whatever limited information they've come up with in an effort to justify their slaughter of whales for profit.
