I saw the signs that the poachers were holding up and thats just them thumbing their noses at the cameraman.These people are basically in Australian waters stealing from that continent and nothing else is being done about it now I wonder how the japanese would react if this was going on in their waters by a foreign fishing fleet,this is the same type of thing that is taking place off the coast of Liberia by chinese fishing ships,and they run over native fishermen who are basically in dingys.These people have to steal from other areas because they have overfished their own waters.I commend the SeaShepherd crew because they choose to stand up and try to save these animals,Greenpeace may criticize their tactics but what are they doing?These are mostly young people who as far as I can tell dont get payed for this.If this kind of "research "goes on unchecked there will be no more whales left to research.
