Now Ghost, you do have a point here. If anyone would know the particulars of that situation, it would be Peter Bethune. However, after seeing the remains of the Ady Gil after it was struck by the Japanese ship, I have to wonder if Bethune was engaging in some wishful thinking.

I don't disagree that Watson is well-known for doing whatever it takes to publicize the cause. He is the first to admit that. In that regard, I can appreciate his self-honesty, even though some may not approve of his character. From all I have read, Watson knows himself pretty well, and those who interact with him had best know him, too, before they choose to hook up with him. I mean, if I can recognize that truth from my armchair, it seems that Peter Bethune and his crew would know that as well.

That said, the situation with the Ady Gil was a tragedy, and so sad.

The next time you see a picture of a dolphin or whale that has been senselessly slaughtered for fun or profit, just know that there are people out there who are willing to do something to stop it. If international law had been effective, there would be no need for groups like Sea Shepherd. Once again, no country - NONE - has the balls to enforce international law where Japan is concerned.

Nobody - NOBODY - said humans should be killed instead of animals. That was your line of thinking only. Black/white, yet again.

I would really like to know what some of you naysayers propose as a solution to this international problem. You call the Sea Shepherd group lawbreakers, yet you say little or nothing about the original lawbreakers - the Japanese whalers who do their deed under the guise of research.

So, Chrissy - since you are so non-ignorant, how do you propose to solve this? Or can you even discuss this without resorting to name-calling ("bitch", "old hag", "c")?
