Murderous Japanese Whaling Fleet Attacks Greenpeace

Japanese whalers have started attacking the Greenpeace vessels that are attempting to interfere with the on-going murder of whales in Antarctic waters and are now threatening to send 'police' to the assistance of their whalers. If Australia has any gumption, it will respond by sending its own 'police' to protect the Greenpeace vessels.

This quote from the director-general of the phoney "Institute of Cetacean Research" is particularly contemptible:
"We certainly don't want to see anyone hurt. These people must understand that when we conduct our lethal research, the area is very dangerous,"
Yep, lethal research is bound to be dangerous. The disgrace is that they justify the 'research' as being necessary to extract DNA samples in order to estimate whale populations. Given that adequate DNA for hundreds of genetic profile analyses can be obtained from the tip of a mouse tail, its absurd to suggest a whole whale needs to be killed for DNA extraction. What are they doing with all that DNA? Eating it...?
