Aust' charter aircraft spying on Sea Shepherd
DK, I'm not even going to waste my time now responding to your request after reading your last post. You and Flying Binghi have to be twins, love children offspring of some low gene-pool trolls! Both of you need to head off and get your eyes checked or put your glasses on!
Getting towed in a sea biscuit doesn't count as maritime experience.

Ah, this is starting to read like a typical aircraft crash thread. A pile of armchair experts hypothesising on a subject that they aren't really qualified to hypothesise about, consequently descending into an argument ad hominem...
I think it's time to leave this topic alone.

Here's a compilation of some of the sea shepherd terrorist organizations attacks -

...retired naval commander Norman MacMillan ....the Ady Gil was at fault.
Although sea law dictates that any vessel on the starboard, or right-hand side, of a ship has right of way, Mr MacMillan said he believed the Ady Gil left it too late to avoid a collision with the whaling ship Shonan Maru No 2,
..."It appears that the Ady Gil was putting itself deliberately in front of the whale catcher to try and make it alter course,"...

Flying B,
As several other posters have pointed out, there was small scale coastal whaling going going back into the mist of history, as there was with almost any country with a coastline and whales.
As I thought I made clear, I referred to industrial scale whaling. I suggest you look up any of the many good books written about the Allied occupation of Japan post WW11.
Sadly, the uncontrolled harvesting of krill probably poses a greater danger to whales than Japanese "research", but there are no dramatic pictures of blood and gore, so no media interest.
But a whale dying of starvation still ends up a dead whale.
Tootle pip!!

Likewise a pod of killer whales taking 4 hours to kill a large whale by chomping out the pectoral fin muscles, taking out the tail fluke, laying over the blowhole to drown the beast, and then eating just the tongue and leaving the rest, still results in a dead whale.
