The whale would have exploded eventually anyway.
Things bloat with gas as they rot, right? Whales are pretty elastic, and there's a lot of guts to rot.
Sometimes, if a dead whale is found a few days after it died, it's already swollen up to bursting point.
Then they go boom.

I don't think that justifies anything Maggarg.

Anyone ever see that whale hunting show? Where the crazy protesters harass legitimate japanese whale hunters?
Indeed I have. To some effect I can see what they mean if they haunt illegal whale hunting operations, but I have no knowledge in whale hunting laws. I just oppose them because they get damn close to being pirates. Eco pirates but pirates nonetheless.

In Japan, it's legal to fish for whales or whatever. They keep hiding it as "Research" But really, the only research they are doing is how much money that can make selling that stuff.

As long as they fish in Japanese waters, then it's legal. Otherwise, it's illegal by international law.

Illegitimate you mean. Whaling in international waters, such as the waters off Antarctica where this show takes place, is illegal according to international treaties as Yanlin said. You can call them crazy protesters if you'd like, but it's dishonest to call the Japanese whalers legitimate.

Well, vigilantism is illegal as well.

But considering authorities are not doing anything about it...

It depends what you mean by vigilantism. Though I am guessing you mean hunting down criminals and not making citizen arrests.

Regarding the whale: maybe they should have used magma instead.
Or, you know, more explosives.

Remember:
Any problem can be solved or rendered irrelevant by a sufficient amount of explosives.

You remind me of those guys that fly around in helicopters throwing dynamite at mountains in order to purposefully cause avalanches, and thus prevent avalanches that actually hurt people.

Except he does this on a snow bike. And the bike emits lava.

Too many explosives can be solved by disposing of the excess explosives... with explosives. Easy. One big boom, and now you don't have too many explosives.
Also, you forgot about "rendered irrelevant"
Liver cancer? Boom! You have a liver? You don't even got lower torso.
Research paper due? Boom! Expelled for blowing up your dorms.
