Please if you can show your support, the charges are complete nonsense. For the record butyric acid= bad butter, it's often used as it renders whale unfit to eat but if they were really conducting scientific research as they claim would not compromise the samples. They fail to mention in that report that he DID board the ship yes, after they RAMMED his. This is a farce they are taking a man to court over a charge of interfering with whaling in a manner that makes no difference unless the whales are being used for illegal purposes.
