We will keep a close eye on anti-whaling groups and maintain security.

Very good to hear the anti-whalers or anti-dolphiners or whatever are being treated as possible terrorists. Any disruption whatsoever to the locals' lives should be met with full prosecution and jail. Enough is enough

@Hallowed: Agreed, the anti-whalers can whinge and complain all they want, but as soon as they disrupt real people in their lives or their jobs, they should be considered terrorists and taken down as they are acting towards a political and ideological cause and goal.

Thankfully they aren't brave enough to act for real change though

"...they disrupt real people" 

Yep, it takes "real people" to herd a group of defenseless and friendly mammals into a shallow cove and then spear them through their spines so they die a slow and agonizing death, til the water runs red with their blood.

Got to keep Japanese culture alive and well without any protest.....

Cowards like these people, who hide behind tarps while claiming to be "out in the open", need protection and government money because they are incapable of doing real work for products people want.

Oh and it isn't a hunt... it's a slaughter
