Bethune admits sinking of Ady Gil was PR stunt.

[Indiana_Jones]

And without sinking a vessel in the seas delicate ecosystem?

I don't think one piece of fibreglass at the bottom of the ocean is gonna do much harm lol

Said it before, will say it again.....

Bethune is a wanker

Bethune and Sea Shepherd are as bad as one another. God, or some higher power, help the morons that look up to people with their lack of integrity and honesty etc...

[george formby]

R.I.P Sea Sheperd. You whale be missed.

It's more about the hundreds (if not thousands) of litres of fuel that's a problem

That's biofuel. So no problem.

[avgas]

Good on Pete for finally admitting something I say.
Bloody sad that this was all found out AFTER a piece of NZ Maritime history sunk.

Would you try dumping 100 litres of cooking oil in the Waikato and see what happens?

It would wash the shit and tampons downstream for a start.

Got to agree 100%, hes from the same ilk and mindset as Keith Locke and John Minto from rent a commie mob.

[schrodingers cat]

As a pr stunt to raise awareness to his cause it was a success in my opinion.

Big whoop. Not that I'd bother giving money to the jobless unwashed eco terrorists of ANY brand (Yes - they are a brand) but especially not now. Pretty hard to find any moral high ground here

PS - Yes, Bethune is a wanker.

[hellokitty]

I feel sorry for his wife - I am assuming the insurance won't pay out if it was deliberate? She was saying how much they needed that money.....

In fact, he is a wanker isn't he? The shit he put his family through and now all this stuff

[Usarka]

Ummmm.... it wasn't Bethune that ordered the scuttling or did i miss something......

I know if I was facing asian jail time I'd be conservative with the truth..

[tri boy]

Maritime law requests ALL skippers to take a responsible approach to travel on the high seas.
This also includes day boaties etc.
He was a cocksucker that risked his ife, and other peoples on that vessel.
Don't care about his whale loving, or anything else, but with regards to seamanship, he should never be alowed a flutter board from today forward.
