Are you for or against the guys in the tv show Whale Wars?

Whale Wars FIrst of all, these guys are crazy and are boarderline eco-terrorists, however I think whaling should be stopped and these seem to be the only ppl doing something about it.
They have one vessel: the Steve Irwin, two fast moving zodiac type boats, and one helicopter. They use the fast boats to attack Japanese harpoon ships with butyric acid bombs, (stink bombs) that will ruin any whale meat aboard. The Japanese ships use water cannons to keep these boats away. In case the fast boats get past the water cannons they also rig up netting to deflect the bombs. In addition to these defensive methods the Japanese also have LRAD devices, which are usually used for riot-control and can permanently damage hearing. When the bombs don’t work they usually resort to dragging a tether line in front of the harpoon ships to hopefully tie up the rutter and disable the ship, but has yet to work. Then they got pretty extreme by sending some guys on board and trying to force a hostage situation and gain media attention (i said they were crazy). If you support them how could they change their tactics for the better? or If you oppose them, how could the Japanese whalers keep them off their backs?
