They are wrong, pure and simple, because they represent the initiatory use of
force.  I'm not saying that slaughtering whales is a necessarily desirable
thing; perhaps I have as much right to the whales as does the slaughterer
(but this is meaningless) and would rather they be kept alive, but I do *not*
have the right to initiate the use of force against someone for disagreeing
with me.
Individuals performing such actions are terrorists, who, upon conviction,
should be shot (afterall, do you want *your* money used to support them in
jail?).
