Amused (and others) keep trying to create a comparison between the life of a human and that of an animal. Clearly, the life of a human being is more important than the life of a particular animal.
However, if a human wantonly engages in an activity that is banned by international treaty designed to save an entire species, then I see no problem taking actions to stop that human from destroying the species.
Clearly it's not a case of "hey look, a human drowing and a whale in trouble, who do we save?". No, it's a case of a selfish greedy group of people willing to destroy a species with no legitimate need or reason. Whatever actions are needed to stop those people should be taken.
