If you want to attempt to refute anything stated above, why not quote what you dispute and counter with intellectual arguments?
The video shows these idiots rammed the Japanese ship.
These are not, repeat, not Eco-terrorists. These are brave souls fighting the cause that Ronald Reagan took up years ago.
Bull Crap. This has nothing to do with endangered whales. These are pilot whales that are not endangered and whose population numbers in the millions. The Japanese are following the law and only allowed to take about a hundred of these a year.
Running your gay little ship into other craft, or fouling their propellers, or dropping explosives in front of them is piracy.
These are, repeat are eco-terrorists.
Seesh, there are hundreds of thousands of whales, maybe millions, and they 'build' their own replacements.
This guy is mad.
Why tempt us to respond? This bunch are EcoFrauds & Liars. Just another wing of the Climate/Gaia Socialist!
Hey, bay.
First you post a lengthy screed, and then insult and demonize those who might be at odds with its content, before the first comment is even received.
Hardly the way to start intelligent discourse.
These Japanese ships must be made to pay for their actions!!!
I’d say a $25 fine is just about right.
Paul Watson is a terrorist and should be treated as such.
I notice that the “captain” is a little more judicious in his use of the word “war” in this missive.
Previous communications have him declaring his effort a “war” giving Japan, under international law, a bit more leeway in how they address these high-seas pirates.
And, I’ll repeat agere_contra, these ARE eco-terrorists.
They are pirates interfering with legitimate commerce on the open seas. If you don’t like it get the treaty changed. When they kill a Japanese whaler they will be sued out of existence - if that is not before the JDF blasts their a$$es out of the sea.
Hahaha, what a tool.
Arguing with someone like you is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even when I win, I’m still retarded.
Let’s completely set aside the bold face lies as backed up by video evidence that these “brave souls” are deliberately ramming into the whaling vessels. I won’t even begin to state the numerous maritime laws that are being broken by these “brave souls”. Which is evident by your pal that recently tried to “arrest” the Captain of the whaling vessel by boarding it in the middle of night. Who is now is custody and is lucky the Captain of the boat he illegally boarded is a decent man and does not toss his sorry ass overboard. Which he is entitled to do.
You people are a laughing stock throughout the world and your narcoleptic, incompetent, self-aggrandizing, liar of Captain will get someone killed.
You people are incompetent at best and dangerous at worst.
As a young boy I sang Waltzing Matilda every day before school. As I recall the Jolly Swagman comes to a bad end.
Ahoy Mateys! Tis a fine day fer sailin yer dinghy! Gar!
These ARE eco-terrorists, in the same vein as Earth First and their tree spiking, dozer burning, HOUSE burning mind numbed vandalism.
Boring article.
When you have a picture of Watson hanging by the feet ready for gutting, post it.
The article goes on to describe how cruel whale-killing is as a set-up to justify vigilantism. I personally have no sympathy for whale-killing and find it to be unnecessary. I think as fellow mammals, we should give them deference in the seas.
That being said, opposition to whaling should be done legally. This is akin to being opposed to cattle ranching and launching attacks upon the people herding them or perhaps being opposed to deer hunting and doing similar things.
In the mood for some hippie flavored cat toys?
Nuke the whales!!!
Don’t these Sea Shepherds have any respect for Bob Barker’s money?
