While personally opposed to it, I'm not sure how it's anyone else's business but their own country's. I might have more respect for the Japanese, although probably not, if they didn't harvest the whales under the guise of research and claim the meat is but a mere byproduct of their experiments. Especially given how fast they process the carcass and immediately dispose of the non-edible parts.

Lots of people talk the talk, few walk the walk.
Isn't that the essence of vigilantism or a lynch mob? One could also put Bin Ladin in that same group for daring to do something and living the life of a fugitive when all others stood quietly.
