Good. So we are now talking about the method alone. The issue is easy. Or so it WAS.
It could have been super easy for Greenpeace or Sea Shepherd to compensate the fishermen or help them adopt a better, more humane method, if they wanted to. It's a tiny town with the population of 20,000. There are only several hundred fishermen. Only 1600 dolphins are killed per year.
For some reason, they decided not to do that, and instead created a hyper slanted Japanese whaler bashing film. I don't think these fishermen now listen to foreign activists even a bit. And I'll encounter yet more "fucking whale eating Jap" type of comments all over the web. Good job Hayde. Very good job. I wonder what the intension behind this whole thing is.
You may be a reasonable person GoNative, but unfortunately these activists aren't...
"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.... You are what the media define you to be. [Greenpeace] became a myth, and a myth-generating machine."
This is what Paul Watson himself said, and to my eyes, he is truly living up to his word.

So basically, you think Greenpeace should pay off the 'farmers' to stop whaling? That's gonna go down well...
Still, they could have helped find more humane methods of killing, as that seems to be the main issue. How do you know they haven't already?
