This is good news to wake up to this morning - The more whales saved from this disgraceful practice the better. Let's hope reports of "a changing tide of domestic opinion" in Japan are true..

Not a big fan of the whaling etc, but I absolutely detest these Sea Sheppard clowns as well

Yes no fan of their actions either, but Whaling needs to be banned FULL STOP!
