Well, there's something I didn't know...

Ha the gun lovers will love this one... so that's why pirates have such easy pickings, since only the criminals have weapons.

Well, these are Japanese people we're talking about, I'm sure they could whip up something to combat these people. A slingshot, a giant robot, idk something! Shit, how are they spearing the whales/ they should use that!

Sigh, there we go. Foot in mouth again. You can have them in international waters. But, you are subject to the laws of the country who's waters you happen to cross into.

Now, if some ropes with heavy weights got wrapped around it, the hull would take a beating and be potentially compromised.

They already do try to get the props with nets, but they suck at sailing and anything of that nature, so they fail.

Perhaps, but then I'm no expert

They actually do get real scientific research from it. Like on fish patterns and how much the whales are taking out the fish stock and the IWC who gets pissed off at them for whaling, also said their research work has been very good.

Whoah...

The whaling restrictions are only in effect on countries who are part of the IWC.
so, if Japan is not a member, they can hunt all they like.

Seems like Norway still does it.

Yea this is one of those goofy subjects... I mean I'm against whaling but I'm for allowing men to make an honest living within the law.
