No law, except for self defense, gives you the right to arbitrarily engage in actions that may end up in the deaths of others.
That's called murder, ship as a weapon or not.
The whalers are allowed to take steps to reasonably defend themselves and no further.
Let me phrase it a different way:
TANGENT: CARS: What would you do if you were a truck driver driving down the street, and were being harassed by protesters? Me? I'd do my utmost to run them over.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
