Unless the whales were fitted with the same technology as US drones, then all the Iranians would have to do is open up their cargo holds for the whales to come right on board.

Dunno, Japan seems to have difficulty controlling leaks

has anyone considered the possibility that the Japanese are being paid/subsidized by Discovery to go back out?

I highly doubt it, the Japs really hate the fuck out of the Sea Shepherds.

The Japs are going back out because the government redirected some of the money that was given to them for Tsunami relief into Whaling. I shit you not.

Those boats still floatin'? If so, then they aren't making good use of that factory ship. Hell, the harpoons alone could make a good mess of the hulls. If there's no sinkin' goin' on, then why bother watchin'?

The factory ship is slow the other boats can out maneuver it and not get rammed that hard.

Japs need to quietly repeal their constitution and send a bunch of their diesel attack subs out to "protect" their shipping from piracy.

Herding works. They do it to whales, after all.

They are complete noobs, a fisherman in a 10 foot aluminum hull freshwater body has a better chance of not looking like a fool than these guys

the Faroe islands, they've been "driving" whale to their beaches and slaughtering them since the islands were founded.
