Reply #120: What that sailor is doing is not illegal.

[Thothmes]

what the pirate does is illegal, if captured he should suffer the consequences of his illegal activity. Hold the masters and owners of the whalers culpable for their activities. I do not any way support calling for death or injury to the sailors of those ships, because the ship is engaged in whaling any more than I could call for the death or injury of coal miners because their product promotes global warming. Again, hold the mine owners and the industries that use the coal responsibile, not the miners.
