These guys need a bigger boat if they want to do any real damage to a whaling ship.

My sympathies lie with the whales. The issue is one apparently not addressed adequately by international maritime laws. It is hard to understand why japan needs whales.

And if we had a dispute and I felt that my side was not adequately addressed by the law of the land, would you support my effort to get justice even if it means breaking into your house and taking what I felt was mine?

Thanks for the laugh Joe!




IMO the show based off this is cheezy, and they really need to change their tactics.

(mentioned in the OP's link)Photo: The Sea Shepherd Bob Barker

Filed under: animals, campaigns — Michael d'Estries @ 4:39 pm
January 5th 2010

Here he is folks — the latest addition to the Sea Shepherd fleet, the MV Bob Barker.
TMZ.com did a bit more digging and found out that Mr. Price is Right donated over $5 million dollars to the anti-whaling org to retrofit this icebreaker. The new (and very secret) ship was the first of the Sea Shepherd fleet to discover the location of the Japanese whaling fleet. Word is, Barker kicked some ass and made the Japanese relocate, thwarting plans for any kills.
You don’t mess with Barker, Japan. You just don’t.
