Greenpeace activists rock! I believe they attract alot of attention by using a kind of 'guerrilla activism', for lack of a better word, that a lot of people don't understand. They often use whatever tactics they can to stop Japanese whaling. In this paragraph from a Greenpeace action on trying to block refueling of a Japanese whaling fleet's factory ship;
"As the documentation was in progress, two of the whaling fleet's hunter vessels spent more than an hour performing close-quarter maneuvers around the small Greenpeace inflatables, to harass the activists, and push them away from the Nisshin Maru and Oriental Bluebird."
