if the U.S.A or Canada got involved or did an investigation on the japan whalers the sea shepherds would not be out there because the investigation would prove that the Japaneses are breaking the law or that they are doing research on whales.so why wont they do any thing about it

Typically, investigations of wrong-doing are launched when there is probable cause or reasonable suspicion of a crime. What would be the probable cause of this investigation of the whalers by US and/or Canada? I don't think they would have any authority to investigate anyway.

Jonny1616, you do understand that the Japanese aren't actually doing anything illegal right?

well I have my doubts but if they are not doing anything illegal and they wont the sea shepherds gone they should get the FBI or someone from the government to go in there look around say they are not doing any thing wrong and then then the sea shepherds have no right to be there. how can you learn anything from a died whale that has been shoot with a high power harpoon I thought we knew about a whales insides I thought we needed to learn more about there behavior and other stuff you can only learn from a living whale

/me grabs a copy of the SSCS playbook.

Ahhh here the play I want to use.

If the Japanese are doing something illegal, why hasn't any country's law enforcement officials done anything about it?

Man, this book comes in handy!! LOL

Dumping waste, having substandard ships and refuelling at sea in the environmental protected Antarctic zone.

Unenforced laws are worse than no laws at all.

Agreed.

Not taking anything away from the ones breaking the laws in the first place.

The Canberra Panel report is not a law making document. It's an assessment of how the Australians view the ATS, the ICRW and how this assessment makes them believe the Japanese the bad guys.

Please provide the environmental laws that you're talking about. I still haven't seen any. If it helps, laws are rarely ever preceded by a statement declaring the documents aims as being "with the aim of challenging the legality of Japan’s Antarctic whaling program." Paraphrased, that statement right there says "the legality of what is happening may be in question and we're trying to decide the best way to go forward."

C'mon Oz, you know the SSCS are dumping waste and have a sub-standard ship also...

Not to mention ramming ships that could possibly cause a sinking and a huge fuel/oil spill...

I’m glad at least one of you admits they have substandard ships.

And yes what the SS do is very dangerous for them the Japanese and the environment.


What I wish for is there was no need for them to go down there, let’s hope one day the reason is stopped and soon.
