So which of the two is she? If anything, the former is probably the better choice.

I've heard of profit being used to lure in unsuspecting businessmen in order to make them go green. Just because they are used together does not mean they are interested in saving the earth because of profit. That being said...

That's probably good advice.
my 13 yo is not (married + pregnant).

They tell themselves they are doing good, but when they subvert truth to increase profit, they are fooling themselves.

Ah, so she is neither married nor pregnant.

The ICR countered that the Ady Gil had come "within collision distance" directly in front of the Nisshin Maru bow and repeatedly deployed a rope from its stern "to entangle the Japanese vessel's rudder and propeller" The d1ckheads should be keelhauled. I assume that they're sponsored to play games in fun boats year long by grannies and children, who give their precious pennies to protect pretty whales. The most idiotic of cretins would know that the only way to stop whaling is by diplomacy and negotiation, and that the actions of these idiots only gain the whaling industry more support -- but they don't care about that; they just want to play pirate.

... but they should really get a clue on how to drive a boat. Technically, it's the Ady Gil that hit the Japanese ship, which certainly cannot make turns rapidly because it's huge. Besides, do you Japanese guys really, absolutely need to eat whales?

Humans kill to eat. There's no getting around that unpleasant fact. The only choice we have is: Live with it or starve.

Well but there are a lot of other species you can eat and that are not in danger of extinction.

Cynical and probably correct, but regardless, is trying to prevent endangered animals from being poached to extinction (within a marine sanctuary) really such a bad cause?

Uh-huh, they've been trying diplomacy since 1986[^] - meaning that it's been around 24 years with no results; sounds like it's time to try something else.

Something else diplomatic, or negotiate with something else, yes. Playing stupid pirate games that endanger the lives and livelihoods of honest working men with families is, and never should be, an option.

Absolutely, and that's one of the reasons I would never eat whale. But I wouldn't drive a Humvee, either -- or any other car, for that matter. Let he who is without sin, and all that. Make a deal with them: Offer to give up all the things you do that are bad for the environment/ecology/other species if one of them stops eating whales. e.g. use one (1) monitor only (and a small one, at that), switch off all peripherals every minute when they are not being used, etc. It's easy to be saintly about other people's behaviour.

Yes, it is sad, but think of the alternative. They would have to kill 1000's more dolphins/seals/rhino/elephant/etc for the same quantity.

If there's something that would actually work, then absolutely yes. If you've got any bright ideas then let's hear them.

I agree with you up until a point: vigilantism is a bad thing in this case and it's foolish to be playing reckless cat & mouse games that endanger people's lives. However, as for "endangering livelihoods", tough luck I say. The world changes constantly and the work force needs to change with it - that's just part of life. There's no longer any market for typewriters, so they stopped getting produced and the people making had to reskill. Similarly there's barely a market for whale meat, so why can't your "honest working men with families" go and do something different? Something useful.

I'm sure I'm not the only person on code project who fails to starve despite not eating meat.
