john_gacy Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 1st off, I'm all for preservation of endangered species, but I find this kind of amusing. The story is in dispute, but it seems that one of these Greenpeace type of organizations that fights whaling have been getting in the face of Japanese "researchers" to disrupt their efforts, prompting the Japanese to ram their boat and knock the end right off of it. For some reason,, I'm also amused that other boats were named the Bob Barker and Steve Irwin. The boat was supposedly pretty advanced, included kevlar in its construction, and supposedly could stop a harpoon. Arrr!

watson Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 fuck those whale war faggots we've only explored 5% of the ocean covering earth.. plenty of fish/whales for all they should care about shark fishing, something like 70 million are killed every year for their fins not to mention contests that only kill the biggest of the sharks they can capture http://www.livescience.com/animals/070329_shark_decline.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SystemFailure Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 YEA! Let's fight for the ecosystem by parading around in a boat which I'm sure gives off wicked amounts of emissions/uses nitro fuel from the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Greenpeace is right up there with PETA in the wack department. They care more about stunts, publicity and getting celebrities to cosign their agenda than keeping their volunteers safe. It's one thing if you want to put your own ass on the line for whatever you believe in, but the last thing I'd do if I were in that boat would be putting it directly in the path of a whaling ship. I'm quite sure there were one or two people on that boat who didn't want to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortFuse Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 They need to all get shot one day while trying to get aboard a boat with nothing but papers and a mic. I can understand that the world is killing off whales etc but youre messing with some elses income. Like trying to just waltz into a drug deal and make a civilians arrest. Whaling has been going on for a long time...I hate to be pessimistic but its not going to stop. Its a double edged sword ina way because most of those Japanese on the boats are doing it to feed their families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 this is front page news down here! anti whaling and anti anti whaling hippies but goddamn aren't there any whales left in the northern hemisphere the japanese can hunt? why do they have to do it in our waters? (I'm sure they weren't directly in australian waters but the accusations have flown) get your own whales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Bill Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Watson is right- the issue is sharks. If only they were a little bit cuter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Von Counterculture Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Time for a crossfire-esque fact check... Sea Shepherd (http://www.seashepherd.org) also do sharks. /nofishlove The batmoboat used to be this: was called 'Earthrace' fastest powerboat to circumnavigate the globe and was donated by the owner and painted black. Runs on biodiesel. also Bob Barker gave them the bucks for that other ex-harpoon boat, hence the name and the other one was named after Steve died in tribute. The Japanese aren't whaling to feed anybody, at least officially, it's all for scientific research. This is probably bigger news in Australia and New Zealand though because it's right on, and allegedly in, our front door. Now back to the comedy....

Mercer Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The whole part about scientific research is mostly bullshit, last time I was in Japan I ate whale. Either they are lying or they're really researching the fuck out of thousands of whales a year. The old people there love whale meat, understandably so since they've been eating whale for centuries. BTW, whale meat tastes like shit, mad gamey like a moose or buffalo meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
