Pulling Punches
Japan accuses Greenpeace of prolonging whale deaths. 12/01/2006. ABC News Online:
"'When Greenpeace activists put themselves between the harpoon and the whale, the time to death of the animal has sometimes surpassed half-an-hour,' he said in a statement.
'When they get in front of the catcher boats, the harpoon can hit a less than optimum part of the whale's body. So the time necessary to shoot additional harpoons increases as a consequence of Greenpeace presence.'
Dr Hatanaka says Greenpeace is condemning whales to a slow death because of the time it takes to reload the grenade-tipped harpoons."
I've gotta give the Japanese credit....
Credit for being so determined in stopping the Geenpeace and SeaShepherd from trying to end their whaling activities.
They are pulling every single punch that they can get!
