Couldn't read all the posts. Some interesting arguments here but you are all missing the point. If NZ wants to get serious about whaling it needs to claim some of the Pacific and the southern Ocean (along with Australia - gotta compromise sometimes), stick a Greenpeace sticker on a navy ship or two (are there two?), and go hunting whalers. Blow them out of the bloody water - sink 'em. It's all about saving the whales. And that is even good for the Whalers because you can't eat them if there aren't any. World War III has already started - it's economic. Just accept and get on with it.
