BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Ady Gil is hit and starting to sink. The Japanese sailors should then feel free to massacre the Sea Shepherd ecoterrorist crew so then do not disrupt their whaling. /sarc
The damaged trimaran powerboat.

The whale killers ship veered on purpose to hit the smaller boat. I call it attempted human murder by known whale murderers. Just falling into the ice cold water can be a death sentence.
There is no need to hunt whales today. The phony research loophole should be closed.
Awesome. This just made my day.
A boat capable of making 50 kts couldn't get out of the way of a whaling vessel with a top speed of ~20kts.
Yeah, right.
I just watched the youtube video. I think its the Green’s who’s crying crocodile tears here. Whats their mission by being there? You think its to tail thw Whaling boats from a distance? No, their mission is there to disrupt and from the youtube video it looks like their steer towards the Whaling boat and crashed into it head first. It wasn’t split in half. It was just the nose that was badly damaged
good
The Ecoterrorists are lying, they ran in front of the ship and bot hit. The whale populations are growing dramatically thanks to good Japanese management. How much oil they wasting?

I watched the video this morning and it was obvious they wanted this to happen and did it on purpose. The video was taken from the Japanese ship, it was clear they put the bow of their boat directly in front of the whaling ship.
Their first claim was their engine died and the Japanese ship ran them down, but the instant the boat was hit they threw it in reverse and backed up. I hate to say it but I could care less if the crew pulled through or not.
Activists described the attack as unprovoked and said it was captured on film.

Video from the Shonan Maru No. 2

Reminds me of the 98-pound weakling who teases the big dumb galoot on the playground, counting on the latter’s forebearance to keep from getting his scrawny heinie kicked, then running crying to the teacher when the big guy finally has had enough nd swats him like a gnat.
Liberals are bottomless pits of money - they’ll just buy a bunch of new boats... or figure out a way to tax us for their hobby...
Pity that.
Good.
Also, for what it is worth, some Tokyoites consider a "Shonan" license plate to be a desirable one (Shonan is the name of a nice beach area close to Tokyo, home to Kamakura and Enoshima.)
Banzai!
Whatever the background between the dog eating japs and the envirowhackos, the video clearly shows attempted murder.
The japs made a bad move and their whaling days are over.
What was that line from “Risky Business”:
“In a sluggish economy, never ever f-— with another man’s livelihood.”
All six crew, who earlier hurled stink bombs at the whalers to disrupt their annual hunt, were rescued unharmed by Sea Shepherd's Bob Barker ship. Activists described the attack as unprovoked and said it was captured on film.
So they deliberately harass the whalers, throw stink bombs at them and do other unspecified things with which to interfere with the whalers doing their job but still claim the attack was unprovoked.
Libs, no brain required to be one.
