Great article featuring quotes from Captain Watson from Huffington Post UK. Keep in mind that in March of this year the International Court of Justice — the highest court on the planet — declared Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean under the JARPA II program as being not for scientific purposes and is therefore illegal, something Sea Shepherd has asserted all along. Also note that Japans Ambassador to the USA, Kenichiro Sasae, has publicly stated that very few Japanese actually eat whale meat anymore and that there is no reason for us to kill this lovely animal, but that history and politics are at play. The hunt being conducted now in the North Pacific very much mirrors the hunt in the Southern Ocean and similarly should be deemed illegal.
