TOKYO — The leader of a U.S.-based anti-whaling organization is now on an international wanted list for allegedly masterminding the group's disruption of Japanese whale hunts in the Antarctic Ocean, Japan's coast guard said Friday.

The move — done at Japan's request — signals Tokyo's escalating anger against the Sea Shepherd group, which it accuses of putting whalers' lives at risk during the annual Antarctic hunt.

The Canadian founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Paul Watson, 59, has been on the Interpol list since Wednesday, Coast Guard spokesman Shinichiro Tanaka said. He said Watson's whereabouts is unknown.

I support the hunting of whales that have sufficient
populations to sustain a hunt.

What does that have to do with the piracy that fat guy is engaging in against the Japanese? I hope he goes to jail for a long time. Crazy as a loon.

These pirates are finally being held accountable.

So who's going to hold the Discovery Channel for providing funding, support and additional motivation for these terrorists of the Antarctic Ocean?

I believe Animal Planet is a Discovery Channel subsidiary/production.

Whether you’re anti or pro (there are a few people who make their living from it) whale hunting, what these people do amounts to international civil disobedience through acts of piracy on the high seas. One aspect of real civil disobedience, whether it’s Ghandi, King, the anti-abortion movement, etc., is a willingness to accept the legal (and physical) consequences of one’s actions.
