Westarctica's primary weapon of war | Westarctica's primary weapon of war involved publicly shaming executives and scientists who work for the Japanese whaling companies on its [[Westarctica Domain Name|official website]]. An entire page was devoted to providing pictures, names, and email addresses of the ten most grievous offenders in Japan's whaling industry.
