Japan says dont do it again

Three members of the anti-whaling group Sea Shepherds were detained on Saturday after boarding the Japanese whaling vessel Shonan Maru 2. Howard Sattler spoke to the deputy of mission at the Consulate-General of Japan in Perth, Masahiro Takagi, about his country's pursuit of scientific research on whales and the fact that the Japanese government told the Australian government they do not want their ships to be boarded again.
