Well then send your comments to National Geographic. I know what I saw. They did DNA testing because there are species they are not supposed to sell. Perhaps those further down the endangered species chart. Regardless, they used the term "illegal".I can't make this point strongly enough. There is no "illegal" or "legal" because there are NO laws governing the take of marine animals--fish or mammal--in international waters. There are international conventions that have little or no binding power or punitive capacity. There is no protection for any marine animal except those exerted by local sovereignties on their waters and their citizens and by the extent they enforce them--which is often nonexistent.
The DNA test results demonstrate that a ‘legal’ market for whale meat can be a shield for illegal kills of endangered species

Said owner/inventor/Captain is not likely to hit or be hit by other ships in the Antarctic.
