613095 2007-11-19 22:37:00 Do you think the Australian and New Zealand Defence forces should be sent to sink Japanese whaling ships in Antartica? chicken one (6501)
613096 2007-11-19 22:44:00 I don't know about sinking them, but escorting them out of the waters or even boarding them and taking over command of there ships.

Dead easy to discourage - everyone stop buying Japanese goods, as a personal matter of concience - a country can't launch a trade boycott, without retaliatory actions, but it is not compulsory to buy Japanese goods - if enough people take that action worldwide you can bet that whale meat would be off the menu in double quick time.
