I agree that they're probably just profiting with most whales and not doing research, but if that's the case then the law needs to be revisited to reduce the number of whales they can take.

And that's why I asked the question to begin with. My wife and I watch the show from time to time and I've always taken the stance that, "I think what the Japanese are doing is not illegal, and if I'm right, I'd fight back a little harder." Hell, the hippies toss those acid stink bombs onto the decks of the whale ships, why don't the whale ships shoot that **** out of their water cannons! I think that'd get their point across.
