It matters a lot! I was also on board of the Esperanza in 2004. Keep sailing sailors of our Good Hope! Brave people, brave heart.

@Harresd You do know that the whole point about the activists that were arrested in Japan is that they actually PROVED that part of the whale meat is not used for "scientific purposes", but instead embezzled by the ship crew, right?

And even if the law says they are allowed to sell it, does that mean I have to think that is RIGHT?

The world needs to expand existing animal habitats on both land and in the oceans by 100x. Too much development of the land is taking away animal and natural habitats and too much fishing and netting is destroying and depleting the ocean. The human population has doubled since 1980s and it is continuing to grow out of control at a logarithmic rate. See the world population websites if you don't agree. Our planet has not grown to adjust to the human growth, so we as humans must learn how to balance our population and our dedicated land for Farming and living for humans, and habitats for animals. Natural and animal habitats must be protected and increased in size or the only animals we will have left are on farms and zoos. We must do this now before it is too late and the passage of time and human greed erases all animal and natural habitats. Most people are narrow minded and think we can just live together however man in most all scenarios destroy habitats so there is no living together side by side.

while i agree that fossil fuels, oil, and all that is damaging, i do not agree with the statement that renewable energy is a substitute for fossil fuels. I was part of a debate concerning nuclear power and i am sorry to say that renewable energy (though it is great) will never be enough to replace the energy supplied by nuclear power and fossil fuels.
best possible solution: use research and development to produce more efficient sources of energy rather than completely getting rid of it

@kijbob Im sorry I dont agree, they achieved nothing in the end....mother nature beat them and they have contributed far more damage to the enviornment than I would have done with my 4x4. I cant back these guys who are against fossil fuels when they use them everyday with stunts like this. If they came up with a better solution then I might be sympathetic.

Im afraid they have scored a massive own goal with this failed stunt.

The world revolves around need it!!!
