I think people forgot one thing that whale is naturally very dangerous. Whale is not pet and dangerous animal. Sooner or later other whales might do it again.

Why people want such a watch? There is no difference between 100,000 yen and my digital watch 999 yen to know exact time.

I heard from TV that one vessel is almost on the way to Japan. He will be prosecuted in the court in Japan sooner or later. He will be convicted and will pay lots of fine. It is only matter of time. Meanwhile he enjoys fish and whale steak at meal times.

hobbsy70- Unfortunately Japan does NOT think SM2 is absolutely responsible for the AG sunken because they think the AG hit SM2 on purpose as far as they watched whole story of the videos, so inquiries seem to be ridiculous. Maybe you may not know something. Captain of SM2 does not respond to inquiries. Ministry of fishery decides what to do and how to do about it.

I think that Bethune would not get anything from Japan whatever he tried to do about AG sunken. He broke the maritime law and international law anyway, therefore he definitely can not get anything. What he can get is a conviction from the court in Japan. Finally he would have to pay lots of fine or go to jail and would return to New Zealand months later.

I don't think this time Japan will not return him to SS on the water. Japan will press charge against him and take him to the trial in Japan because he is on board of Japan.

cleo - There are 6 vessels including mother vessel down there. Each harpoon vessel except mother is holding one whale at least and they transfer them to the mother over night. I hardly think each vessel did not hunt any.

stevecpfc - Why Japanese whalers had to ram such SS? What for? Whalers are very busy about hunting whales all over. I don't think that they have such a time to ram other vessels, but it is understandable if SS tried to ram Japanese vessels on purpose to attack them like "Kamikaze".

stevecpfc - I think there are so many anti-whalers all over the world but real activists who are going to the water every year are not many at all, so limited. Japanese vessels are not going to Antarctic waters to ram or protest SS vessels every year but SS/BB are going there to ram, protest and throw something to Japanese vessels intentionally. That is a big difference to me.

stevecpfc - I know something about SS. What I know is someone really like to pay these guys protesting Japanese whaling vessels, but they don't have proper jobs like ordinary people whatever you say.

cleo - As far as I see video by SS, Japanese vessels are not all black coloring, but some parts. I wonder which one it is? I think whalers are well paid by the government. Their jobs are good money but in dangerous waters. I wonder how SS guys can make livings while not working every day. All no families?

Yes, Sea Shepherd obviously. SS has been using too much violence we all can recognize easily. Impression of SS/BB is not good, their vessels are all black colorings and guys wear black cloths and sky masks like terrorist. Japanese vessels have to use water cannons back to SS because they approach SM too close and try to ram to SM when they have a chance. Japanese whalers are working there for their life but SS guys are playing like damn child for nothing.

I think the Japanese men just tested own extinguishers in different time, because they are like fire team. It does not look like they were in trouble with pepper at all. SS just used the video as japan's attack for SS convenient. Japanese seamanship was died accidentally, nothing to do with SS. Accidents happened a few times in the past, not by SS.

If anti-whalers think Japan's research is something illegal, they should demonstrate as much as they can or take this case to the international court or to international something, but DON'T use dangerous violence actions in the most dangerous high seas that both Australian and New Zealand govts recognize. Violence makes bigger violence. Fight makes bigger fight. War makes much longer war,,,we don't get anywhere after all. This is both pro-whalers and anti-whalers can agree at least. Otherwise someone would be died there sooner or later, then it would be much messier both sides.

I thought that Japan govt does not allow J-whalers to spray capsicum, hot peppers,,, to SS. What they can do is to use mainly water cannon, LRAD in case, and warning grenade in last minute. I don't think 3 whalers were hurt by own hot pepper spray and it does not look like they were in trouble with hot pepper. I think they tried to do something else. Japan does not explain about it because it was nothing.

There are many Taliban's major places all over the country. The US marines just did one of them. I really doubt that the US would exterminate all of them. Even if Bin Ladin were killed but someone would take his place and continue to fight against the US, It means Endless war or 100 year war. This war is already 2nd Vietnam. Best option for the US would be that soldiers leave the country, otherwise they would fight for more decades and see more deaths.

For those who wants to keep a gun at home, if really someday when you lost someone by gun who you loved the most in the world, don't say at the time we should have done something more about gun control years ago, because it would be too late for you at the time you noticed.
