In light of this new development, I must support Japanese whalers.

British anti-whaling protester held hostage on Japanese harpoon ship offered whale meat for dinner

Quote:
The crew of a Japanese harpoon ship holding a British anti-whaling protester captive insist they are treating him well - and have even offered him a meal of whale meat.

British protester Giles Lane remained a captive on board the Japanese harpoon ship tonight as accusations flew across the icy, fog-shrouded waters of Antarctica.

The Japanese crew accused 36-year-old Mr Giles, from Cuckfield, West Sussex, and an Australian colleague of piracy after the pair stormed the whaling vessel Yushin Maru on Tuesday...

I'm still against Japanese whalers. It was due to protesters like this that Japan backed down from its plan to harvest 50 humpback whales this year.

Maybe they can put him in the same cell with PETA's newly vegetarian cannibal?

The pirates are lucky that they weren't sent to Davy Jone's locker. "Nope, haven't seen them!"

Attempting to disable/ram a ship in frigid winter waters is no laughing matter. Boarding a ship with hostile intent is a Baaaad idea.

I don't think hunting endangered species is a good thing, and I also think some of Greenpeace's concerns are valid - but when they go and do things like this it just undermines their cause.

They're lucky they didn't get harpooned, shot, or used for karate practice. Maritime law is pretty lenient when it comes to dealing with unlawful boarders.

I got offered whale meat once. I'm not to proud to admit that I hit it, but I draw the line at admitting that I hit it again in the morning.

I wish I was so well off that I can afford to protest instead of work for a living.

The Japanese crew could probably make a case for piracy. I say keelhaul these self righteous losers who need to get a life.

Oh and when they do keelhaul em, they should go fore and aft not port to starboard.
