There are people who are doing it!
not quite with harpoons, but with boats that ram the whalers.
Sea Shepherd was formed by original Greenpeacers who felt that GP was a bit soft. Sea Shepherd go and do direct action in defence of whales. They're out there now trying to find the Japanese boats.
Last time the whalers were too fast so Sea Shepherd have bought a new faster boat, fuitted it with water cannons to stop the whalers boarding!
