Real Time Update:
Eco-Group's Founder Uses 'Aggressive Nonviolence'
From the crow's nest, some 60 feet (18 meters) above the waves, the horizon forms a perfect circle, and the visible world a perfect disc — empty in all directions but for the sea. Down below, the ship's captain is frustrated by that emptiness. He believes quite strongly that boats are fishing for bluefin tuna illegally, hastening what he fears is the species' demise. He wants to find those fishermen and stop them. But there are few blips on the ship's radar and few specks on the horizon save for the occasional NATO warship. Paul Watson, captain of the Steve Irwin and founder of the U.S.-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, is mostly frustrated by what he sees as the Byzantine bureaucracy that fails to enforce its own fishing quotas and makes it very difficult for him to determine who is out on the Mediterranean harvesting tuna illegally. His crew carries lists by of boats prepared by ICCAT, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. The list shows the quotas allotted each boat. But it's difficult to tell if a boat has met or exceeded its quota. And some boats are on the list but have no quotas assigned, which means they can help other boats fish but not do the fishing themselves — and whether they are abiding by that can also be difficult to pin down. So on Monday Watson ordered the Irwin to head south, into Libyan waters and make its way westward about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of the coast. He hoped to find boats whose names were not on the ICCAT list at all, making them clearly illegal. Those he would confront, sending in divers to cut the nets and free the tuna. Excerpted.

Please let me know if you want on or off the Whale Wars ping list.
I'll have a mod delete mine. Comcrash is working tonight so I'll have my live commentary.
I’m a bell tapper tonight, sorry.
I watched that show couple of times, but only to see if the Japs got PO enough to just sink them. I would pay to see that.
BTW, WTF is a Bluefin Tuna??? Apparently the lunatics are going into Libyan waters to fight Libyan fishermen for Bluefin Tuna??? I don't eat seafood but I wouldn't go into any African waters. Typical dumb hippies...
I see since the earthquake and tsunami rearranged the coastline and wiped out ports that the whaling industry took a hit there and won’t be able to rebuild.
Of course Japan understands whales as well as they do nuclear power.
We've all hoped to see that but it only occurred in South Park sadly. And Pan_Yan and I both agree that due to the 9.0 Earthquake and Tsunami in March that the Japanese Government simply doesn't have the money to fund another whaling campaign when the hippies already state they will go out again.
I swear to God these people are obsessed with Batman, all of their vehicles look like they came from the bat cave.
The Japanese whaling industry is based in Wakayama prefecture and has been there for about 1500 years. They weren’t affected at all by the earthquake.
I have enjoyed some fine Wakayama whale meat (sushi and whaleburger) in Osaka, and I’m 100 sure they don’t serve it north of Tokyo where the earthquake struck.
Batman just fouled his own prop with his Batline. They are officially batsh*t crazy Batmorons.
Same. I watched it a few times when the hippie boat got sliced in half, but other than that it just seemed like lefty propaganda.
That was GREAT!!!!!
Prop fouled themselves? OMG!!!
And that is the beauty of it. They make it as favorable to the Sea Shepherds as they can and they still come off looking like morons.
Just started to watch the new series. Looks like the Captain stocked his locker in his cabin with Twinkies again.
Has the Japanese government authorized or even considered authorizing their whalers to use deadly force? I think such authority would be called a letter of Marque. These people going after the whalers are nothing but pirates.
I wonder if this going be episode Japanese sink Godzilla or Steve Irvin ship
I be fan of Japanese for rest of the my life if they do that hey I like Japan they brought my fav monster to Life
GODZILLA LOL!
This thread is for the sole purpose of mocking the hippies. And I think prop fouling themselves is the funniest thing I've seen in the history of this show. What total retards!!! I guess a Vegan diet affects your brain. Wait nevermind, read my tagline and it explains everything!
A couple of years ago when they got more than one ship he dubbed himself an admiral, so I started calling him Admiral Coco Puffs.
