By Craig Berard:
My last post (for now so that I'll have posted enough for a presentation of this blog). This is a short interview with Makah Whaler Wane Johnson. He was captain of the 1999 hunt, and the 2007 hunt which had been ruled illegal.

He makes a good case for his actions. The government had been dragging its feet for eight years, not able to go to meetings, bogged down by financial strains from this process, and the thought that their treaty which should take precedence and give them exemption was being held hostage by animal rights groups.
To him the situation was desperate, and something had to be done to get it moving.
The politicizing of this issue by so many groups on top of that is beyond belief.
