I'm glad it got suspended, but don't think he should have been found guilty at all.

I watched the last series, and it brought me to tears the passion with which these people were fighting to protect these whales.
They stood up with the conviction that they believed in, and in treacherous conditions, when nobody else wanted to do anything about the killings..good on them I say.

Japanese whaler cleared of ramming protest boat
Local Japanese News In English

A Japanese whaler did not deliberately ram and sink a Sea Shepherd protest boat during a high-seas confrontation in Antarctic waters early this year, New Zealand investigators found Thursday. There was no evidence either the whaler Shonan Maru II or Sea Shepherd's Ady Gil deliberately caused the January 6 collision, which sheared the bow off the militant environmental group's hi-tech trimaran, Maritime New Zealand said. Instead, the government agency blamed poor seamanship on both sides for the accident, which occurred as Sea Shepherd boats harassed Japanese harpooners in a campaign to prevent whaling in Antarctic waters.
