Surely there must be people in Japan who hate whaling as much as Westerners.

Because the stuff tastes good

:confused: Why? Though they're amateurs they're willling to risk their lives to fight for something they believe in?

Kudos to them for trying to make a difference. Hopefully, the show will provide the exposure they need to for more donations and the recruitment of more skilled volunteers.

They are also risking the lives of the people on the ships they attempt to board. I hope they get shot for being stupid.

Why? They are illegally hunting in an area that the Australian Government has designated as a Whale Sanctuary. So, b/c the Australian Government does not have the resources to enforce it, it's alright?

Is it international waters or does Australian Government own that water?

Actually, 23 counties support it - Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary

Except one country, guess who?

And opposite of you, I hope all of the Japanese ships sink and all the sailors get eaten by sharks and killer whales.

Read my link. International water? Yes. Water controlled by the International Whaling Commission? Yes. Is Japan using a loop-hole to kill whales in an International designated Whale Sanctuary? Yes.

See that wasn't that hard now was it. Why do you keep bringing up water controlled by the international Whaling commission? That means shit to the Japanese, and they are not bound by any rules saying they are not to kill any whales in that international water.

Did you read the link? You can't just do whatever you want in International water. That's why your question is irrelevant. And if you read the link, you would know that Japan is a member of the IWC and they are bound by rules of the IWC. They are just using a weak ass loophole.

I give up. The ignorant will stay ignorant.

and what happens if they don't follow the rules of the IWC. Do we then see them on the peoples court or judge judy? IWC holds about as much power as France does.

When I first heard about it I thought it was going to be about fat chick catfights. You can imagine how limp I became when I found out the truth :(

Sea Shepherd Activists Cover Whaler With Stinky, Slimy Goo


Too bad the japanese ship don't have water cannons to take care of the problem. Imagine a huge jet of freezing water engulfing the sea Sheppard. :D

I watched a couple episodes last night...IIRC some of the ships *do* have water cannons.

I dont have a big problem with them if they want to draw attention to what is going on, or if they want to dog the boats and shout this or that at them...but boarding other ships or attacking them in any way is taking it too far.

Nevermind that a number of them are incompetent and have no business out at sea in the first place.

Just seeing previews for that show makes me want to join the Japanese whaling fleet, and donate all my own ammo.
