LET'S WORK TOGETHER with captain Paul Watson/Sea Shepherd by boycotting all japanese products. REMEMBER: the whale slaughter will only come to a stop if it is unprofitable. Let's help to make it just that !!!

Big deal. So the ship gets repaired somewhere else. How does this stop the killing of whales? Think! The only real way to stop the killing of whales is to make it cost to much. No $$$$, no kill. Thats the real world that they live in. When the ship gets repaired it will be back at it. I dont see a win here. The real win will come when Japan STOPS! And you know whats going to happen on that ship? The Captain will lose his job because he screwed up the ship. One guy out of work. But it will go on. They will be back as long as money can be made. And thats the real area to attack. No $$$$$, no whale killing.

Hey, naysayers, the ship lost all that time, all that money lost too. As more and more countries close their ports, more countries will begin to speak out and try to put a stop to this supposed research. As the old saying goes "every journey begins with a step". Each one of these incidents puts more and more strain on the whaling fleet, so I'm glad to hear of every setback the fllet encounters.
