Others has dropped atomic bombs in your country and now make movies about the evil axis and their torture to the free world.
Good and evil are just a point of view.
Killing animals and extingiting them is wrong.

Let me just repeat that I'm against whaling; We are basically on the same side.
However... I'm having some trouble with your argument.
You mention lawyers... But if laws were bent and changed as usually as you describe, wouldn't that mean there is some chance to win in a legal battle? If so, physically harassing whalers is
not the only method of option.
People continue to compare this issue to war. In my opinion, it's a poor comparison.
They are not the same thing. Wars are fought involving human lives; our own families are affected by it; virtually our entire species is affected by it. This allows for a completey different set of attitudes and actions to exist.
Spoken bluntly, if World War 3 were to take place, the last thing I'd be worrying about is the poor whales. Killing whales, especially when it is, in some cases, being used to feed people, does not equal to war in scale.
It is a significant matter, of course. But it's misleading to compare it to war, nevertheless.
