Sea terrorists obstructing Japanese whalers again

For the sake of Australia's farmers, one must fervently hope that the Australian government keeps right out of this. It has taken decades to open up the Japanese market to some Australian farm products but if the Japanese consumer gets the idea that Australia is backing these hostile and dangerous publicity-seekers, that market would come to an abrupt dead end. Most countries have "country of origin" labelling laws for goods in their shops and the Japanese government would just have to step that up a bit for Japanese consumers to get all the signal they need


ANTI-WHALING activists have described how Japanese whaling ships circled their protest vessel "like sharks" before ramming it off Antarctica. Sea Shepherd founder, Captain Paul Watson, said the Japanese harpoon ship rammed the conservationists' ship the Bob Barker and tore a 90cm gash in the hull above the water line. The incident happened about 300 kilometres off Cape Darnley, in the Australian Antarctic Territory, about 3pm (AEDT) yesterday. No-one was injured in the incident.

Capt Watson said the collision was "entirely intentional" on the part of the Japanese. "Four Japanese ships circled the Bob Barker like sharks," he said. "Then one of them, the Yushin Maru 3, did a quick turn and rammed a three-foot gash in the hull. "Luckily, the waters are calm at the moment and we have a welding crew working to fix it."

The anti-whaling vessel was blocking the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, the Japanese whaling fleet's factory ship, when the collision occurred.

Japan's Fisheries Agency said however, the activist boat caused the collision by suddenly approaching the harpoon vessel to throw bottles containing butyric acid in an attempted attack on the Japanese ship. The Japanese agency accused Sea Shepherd of "committing an act of sabotage" on the Japanese expedition, noting that it is allowed under world whaling restrictions as a scientific expedition. "We will not tolerate the dangerous activity that threatens Japanese whaling ships and endangers the lives of their crew members," it said in a statement late yesterday.

Capt Watson called on the Australian government take action on illegal whaling. "The Japanese are violating Australian laws on whaling and nothing is being done to stop them," he said.

This is the second major clash between Japanese whalers and anti-whaling activists this year, after the Ady Gil sank following a collision with a Japanese whaling ship in the Southern Ocean on January 6.

  2. Whale Wars: best tv show. Watch that show and you'll know Paul Watson as the biggest of the big fat liars that have ever been.

    Because of the incredible lack of a any sort of talent. What was supposed to be a reality show pretending to be a anti-whaling documentary became a show that made people like whaling, just so they could see Paul Watson cry when a whale died.

    Struck a nerve didn't i sook-sook. You always got your panties in a tight knot whenever i said mean things about your persian boooyfriend. Even them muslim gang-rapists couldn't hope for your passionate defense when ahmadoodaa-who-gives-a-shit was insulted. He's lucky to have you for a concubine, i'll give him that much.

    I know a moron like you will find it hard to believe, but i actually didn't post that to hurt your feelings, it was just for laughs, but no, i won't take it down.

  7. Simply reading your title deems your opinion ill educated and nonsensical.
    Sea Terrorists? Do you posses a dictionary?
    Quick lesson.

    1. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society acts under the United Nations World Charter for Nature, sections 21-24. Im not your mother, you can look it up yourself.

    2. In over 30 years Sea Shepherd has never inflicted serious injury upon any person, on either side of the fight, yet Japanese whalers continue to kill critically endangered whales in a declared whale sancturay in violation of an Australian Federal Court Order.

    3. Yes SSCS Is a registered terrorist organisation in Japan, yet it is a registered charity in the Americas and Europe and will also soon be in Australia as well.
    Japan lists SSCS crew members as being of a higher threat than Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda - who purposely kill thousands of inncocent people annualy and globally.

    4. Another recognised Terrorist organisation is Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Fund, the members of whom blew up two American restaunrant in 1993. Let us also look to the Chechan and Ingush terrorists 1,100 people hostage during the Beslan school hostage crisis in 2004. 334 of these hostages were killed.
    Terrorist is a big word - NOT one to be just be thrown around in an over-dramatic attemp at fear mongering.
    How dare you display such disrespect to people who have actually suffered at the hands of genuine terrorists.
    Perhaps someone who kills over 300 people in a school in a far better use of the word.
    I do not see how throwing stinking rancid butter on to a ship can induce terror equal to that of watching children be gunned down.
    SSCS are not out there to induce terror but to intervene against internationally recognised illgal activivties.
    Rather than writing this pathetic extremist nonsense perhaps you and all your supporters would find a better use of your time in researching international and federal conservation law, the definition of a terrorist society and act, and then doing something to help the people of the world who have suffered at the hands of such barbarians!

  8. "Do you posses a dictionary?"

    Looks like you don't either.

    "Im not your mother, you can look it up yourself."

    That is no excuse, provide the proof, liar. And i hope a crazed clown like you isn't anyones mother.

    "In over 30 years Sea Shepherd has never inflicted serious injury upon any person..."

    Says who and what is the relevance here?

    "...yet Japanese whalers continue to kill critically endangered whales in a declared whale sancturay in violation of an Australian Federal Court Order."

    Who said they are endangered? And i didn't know the japs fall under the jurisdiction of the Australian Federal Court, do you have proof? Otherwise your whining about court orders is irrelevant and worthless, sort of like the clucking of chickens.

    "Yes SSCS Is a registered terrorist organisation in Japan, yet it is a registered charity in the Americas and Europe and will also soon be in Australia as well."

    Well good for them, however you need to take your whining to the Japanese because unless you can prove that Japan has submitted itself to the decisions of Australia and Europe, you can caterwaul all you want about the sea wankers being cookie salesmen but it won't make any difference.

    "Japan lists SSCS crew members as being of a higher threat than Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda - who purposely kill thousands of inncocent people annualy and globally."

    Well the sea wankers are attacking the Japanese, so how they classify that is really their issue, your opinion on it is irrelevant and worthless. While you're at it, what's your take on al qaeda, terrorist organization that ought to be wiped from the planet or freedom fighters angling for social justice?

    Oh and you might want to refer to that dictionary of yours, assuming you have one.

    "Rather than writing this pathetic extremist nonsense perhaps you and all your supporters would find a better use of your time in researching international and federal conservation law....."

    I don't give a shit about conservation law, local or international, so rather than writing this pathetic extremist nonsense perhaps you and all your supporters would find a better use of your time in protesting the murder of real human beings in planned parenthood facilities.
