Whale Wars & Whale Whores

BoomChaka:the funny thing is that boat will end up being seized by the coastguard for doing that stuff..
NO.not really..when have you ever seen the coast guard in the antarctic ?
where are peoples mental filters?

its nice to see sea shepherd protesting something that actually matters instead of the seal hunt

Haha. Did anyone see the latest episode of south park? Oh my god it's comedy! It's all about Whale Wars and how the Japanese hate whales and dolphins. Must see.

the real enemy is chicken and cow.

Sea Shepherd Demands Action by the Netherlands

In a news release today, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands stated support for an amendment to Dutch law that would facilitate vessel deregistration. Dutch Sea Shepherd Board member Laurens De Groot responded, “We have a Dutch ship with a Dutch captain and Dutch crewmembers, and we demand that the Dutch government take action to protect our safety from the dangerous and illegal attacks by illegal Japanese whalers in the Southern Ocean.”

De Groot is a former Rotterdam police officer who now serves onboard the Rotterdam registered marine conservation ship Steve Irwin for Sea Shepherd.

The Steve Irwin is scheduled to depart from Fremantle in Western Australia on December 7th, 2009 to once again interfere and harass illegal Japanese whaling operations in the waters off the coast of Western Australia.

The Japanese whalers are targeting endangered whales in an established international whale sanctuary in violation of the global moratorium on commercial whaling and in violation of the Antarctic Treaty.

“I am appalled that the Prime Minster Jan Peter Balkenende has agreed to change Dutch law to de-flag the one ship in the world that is actually doing something to oppose illegal whaling,” said De Groot. “We have not injured anyone, we have not been charged with any violations. The Japanese whalers have tried to kill us yet the Prime Minister refuses to hear our side of the story. He is more interested in appeasing the criminal activities of the Japanese whalers than he is of protecting the safety of Dutch citizens. We demand as Dutch citizens on a Dutch flagged ship that our government warn the government of Japan to cease and desist their violent attacks on the crew of the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin.”

A 2006 episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's popular science show Catalyst, which strongly argued against whaling, reported that of the 18 year JARPA I program, which lethally obtained samples from 6800 whales, less than 55 peer-reviewed papers were produced, of which only 14 were claimed on the program to be relevant to the goals of the JARPA program, and that only four would require lethal sampling. Some of the research includes a paper named Fertilizability of ovine, bovine, and minke whales spermatazoa intracytoplasmically injected into bovine oocytes.[76] Joji Morishita of JARPA has said the number of samples was required in order to obtain statistically significant data.

What the Japanese do is hide behind the RESEARCH. I hope they can stop the killing of the whales. I can't wait for the new seson starts. I donate regulary to them and others.

Team up with some poor Somalians, and have them steal the japanesse whalers..and let em have the already dead whales (don't support it but they need the meat....japan does not. )

Whalers are scum. (just throwing that out there)
