The exception is based on scientific research. So far there is none.

Yes and you want a one size fits all exempting you from having to deal with the fact that one size does not fit all. Gives you a lot of lee way in not having to deal with the fact that in this case, whales are being slaughtered with no valid purpose.

There are cases when the weather man is right and you damn well better head his/her warnings.

The loop hope they are using is not being substantiated by fact. They claim scientific research but have nothing to back that up. It's like claiming a 6,000 lb tax exemption for the large vehicle with a VW bug. Put it on a scale and lets see.

I see them as in clear violation of the treaty and no governments are stepping up to the plate. Sea Shepard and her crew are doing what other governments should be doing.

The underground rail road was illegal as I understand it. Those people were doing what needed to and should have been done since government was not going to step up. There are times when one does have to do what one thinks is right. History will judge them. In this case I think the Sea Shepard and her crew will be judged favorably. Hitler was not. Some times things do work out.
