No whale is going to come to a place where another whale is screaming it's head off that it's being murdered. Drive the whales away and you shut down the whaling ship.

Well, that would require like a millisecond of forethought, which is probably the main reason they haven't done it. Even if they did, I'm inclined to think they would dismiss it cause it's boring and doesn't get you on TV where you can pretend to be a hero.
I'm honestly a tiny bit surprised Japan hasn't sent an escort ship along with their vessel - for when the Sea Shepherds start in on the pipe bomb and flash-bang garbage I would imagine a few rounds from a 50mm across the bow would amply make Japan's point and send them packing.
