Whales fight back

It seems that the whales have had enough of the Japanese and the whaling 'for scientific research' as well. They are now fighting back.

This happens many times in Hawaii during the Humpback season. Hardly them "fighting back". It's more them surfacing too close to the boat and the boat not being able to stop in time. Boats are supposed to keep a 100 yard buffer here, but Humpbacks are very curious and will often approach boats to look at the people on them, and see what they are. Sometimes they come up from a deep dive directly in the path of the boat and the boat doesn't see them until it's too late.

I know it happens occasionaly, just having a bit of a tongue in cheek shot at the Japanese and their "Scientific research"

cutting dragnets is, if i knew a way to tell them, i would seems like inter-species solidarity remains sorely lacking
