Fail: Sea Shepherd

[AllanB]

The problem with GreenPeace is they are rather thick. FFS they have been protesting like this for decades and have still not thought to buy a really really big protest boat ...........

Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace are not the same organisation.

[saxet]

Quick note... The organisation involved is Sea Shepard not Greenpeace, Greenpeace has tried, obviously not that well ,to distance themselves from Sea Shepard due to their tatics.....wonder why?

The seas are rough, there are water cannons,.

There should be real cannons

l they should have machinegunned them as well

They could mix the bodies in with the whale meat, no survivors, no evidnece

That second vid shows much more clearly what happened. I think good on the Sea Shepherd people for trying to stop whaling. I'm surprised and disturbed how many people on here are pro-whaling.

I was anti whaling until I heard of Sea Shepherd some years ago. I have been forced by their tactics and my distaste for their leader to change my stance. This is the effect they have had on many.

Being anti-terrorism doesn't make people pro-whaling.

Well I am anti whaling and I am also very anti jap. I support the Sea Shepard whole heartedly because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

You can call me a leather clad tinker bell just don't call me a tree hugger.

It certainly looks that way from one angle but heres a thought, if you see a much larger ship/boat heading your way and an impact looks likely, wouldn't you do all you could to avoid it?
Those idiots (though they are doing what they think is right, and it probably is) have collided before with Whaling ships, what they affectively done here is, fuck a perfectly good and unique ocean going craft.
Its my view that, both have wronged in this case.

Ahhh but if you get out of the way then where is the media coverage?

Don't get me wrong, the Whales should IMO be left to frolic with the plankton and the hippies back to chaining themselves to power stations.

I think the japs should piss off back home.
They've raped their own fishing waters and have been raping these waters for almost 20 years.
I don't agree with how the sea shepard lot work but at least they doing something. For them it is war. I do admire them for getting off the couchs and working at making a difference. They obvisiously feel very passionately aobut what they are doing if they are willing to lay down their lives.
One must also remember what dirty little fighters the Japanese can be.

So many species have been mad extinct due to man's greed, I'd really hate to see whales disappear forever.

[Ronin]

I'm not pro whaling. I am anti she shepherd though.

I was a commercial fisherman for a few years and with all the agro that went with who fished what areas, no one fucked with anyone elses boat. Tractor yes, gear yes, boat no.

[motor_mayhem]

I thought everyone one would be raving about how great the sea shepard was.....

Considering everyone seems to be anti whaling -
(and no you cannot compare it to killing sheep/cattle or even you average fish trawling because sheep and cattle are breed to replace their numbers and trawling has a limited amount so the numbers will naturally replace, the whale will probably turn out to be like the moa if the japs have their way)
and from the way the phrases "PC" and "nanny state" are thrown around(usually completely out of context) by people who want us to think they don't like pissing around, I thought to go out and make life difficult for the whaling offenders would be right up Joe Public's alley.

But hey feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

I do love it how some of the only Nations that support Japanese scientific whaling are Nations that hold the Whale as sacred, just seems the need for money outweighs the need for generations of culture and belief.
