Summary: An anti-whaling ship and a Japanese harpoon boat collided in the Antarctic waters. Sea Shepherd and the whalers have faced off in Antarctic waters for the past few years over Japan's annual whale hunt, with each side accusing the other of acting in increasingly dangerous ways.

Response:  This seems like a sticky situation to me.  Both sides are accusing the other of being at fault, and no one is admitting hitting the other.   There is obviously tension, considering this isn't the first time a Japanese and Whaler ship have collided.
