Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct action against whalers

in

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ships Farley Mowat and the Robert Hunter have been engaged in militant confrontation with the Japanese whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru since 0530 Hours this morning.

During the confrontation which happened in fog one of the Sea Shepherd's inflatable Zodiac boats and the two crew members onboard were lost at sea. However the boat was recovered after seven hours with the crew members safe and sound.

The pirates of the Sea Shepherd, during the confrontation with Japanese whaling vessel the Nisshin Maru, "successfully delivered six liters of butyric acid onto the flensing deck of the Nisshin Maru. This "butter acid" is a nontoxic obnoxious smelling substance. The foul smell has cleared the flensing deck and stopped all work of cutting up whales." Sea Shepherd crew members also used nail guns to secure metal plates over the drain outlets that let off the whale blood that accumulates on the whalers deecks. The confrontation allowed a pod of whales in the area to escape.

Great stuff Sea Shepherd - the eyes of the World are upon you.

Japan be well and truly warned - if your dirty tricks include foul play with Sea Shepherd many people will rise in anger. If I have to I will use my retirement years to initiate a response which Japan cannot ignore. The Internet can galvanise World opinion very very quickly!

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

This is GREAT news

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

Another positive result for animal rights.

Good shit!

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

Nice work! I can't believe you managed to get close enough to nail their drain outlets. Wow what a rad crew you have there.

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

A friend of mine, who lives in Japan, has tasted whalemeat, which is freely available at many Japanese restaurants - killing for 'research' my arse! You have my 100% support Sea Shepherd! Does anyone know when they are next going out, as I'd like to join them?

Re: Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct

Mmmmm...whale the other white meat. Yummy - NOT!!!

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

As someone who has worked in the buliding industry before and used nail guns, just a quick question - How on earth did you get a nail gun to secure metal plates to the drain outlets?

They didn't use regular air nail guns for wood, they used Hilti 22 caliber nail gun used for concrete or steel. They basically use a 22 caliber rifle cartridge with a nail/stud instead of the bullet. They work great.

Re: Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct

Ahh yeah, those things are wicked :)

Truly a organic ecological victory for the worlds southern ocean whale sanctuary. Sea Shepard wins the anti-fascist fight for a true collective agree as democracy. They've got the illegal criminals on the run. Too bad the Anzac navy doesn't put a total stop to the real pirates the Japanese illegal whalers.

Re: Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct

Hi, I'm really curious about what you mean by "Sea Shepard wins the anti-fascist fight for a true collective agree as democracy".
I have no idea what you're talking about! Sea Shepherd haven't 'won' anything, much less an 'anti-fascist fight' or anything to do with democracy.
If you could shine a little light on this one I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. jo

Re: Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct

DUDE you need to put more information on all of this stuff man.You know what you need to do? MORE INFORMATION ON THE SOUTHERN OCEAN .

A school of 180 kids. 14:2:7 by S Trontium.

A school of 180 kids.
What happened at school today.

We see every kid…
- America very busy.
All making money off each other.
Such a busy day.
America very busy…

To act it out, give to 180 actors, 180 kids, it would be great!
The kid who volunteers/pays/deserves to play America, is told;
“Right, you got to, in this 8hrs of school day, beat up Afghan and Iraq, threaten axis evil kids,
beat-up and steal jewellery etc from (those beautiful places of lands being stolen)
“Find West Papua.., he will have 100 copper coins in his pocket… ( his, for these 180 are he’s)
“You must grab him and physically shake him, and attempt to push him to the ground.”
(West Papua will give no resistance, thus surprising America, (who gets beat up when doing it to Iraq)
America sees shakes and beats up Iraq, (Iraq secretly padded, or a boy who can handle a beating,
so America can really lay into him, then steal oil off him and leave, not knowing Iraq is instructed / screen-played to get up and give one good punch and trip then run away.

“You have a certain amount of time to interact with each country when you find them.
You must run around and see and complete as many interactions as you can.”
Running around a playground, finding a person and completing specific screenplay instructions.
(Came, Saw, Conquered.)

Japan. You must run around the playground dragging a bloodied whale, stopping every (How many did they kill today?) so many times to pull out your American butchers knife and attack your whale.
A ship will chase you, and at some time will attack you..,
When it does you must cry, do a soccer-Hollywood act, then get up and find one of those little kids to stand over, intimidating, taller and taller, till they give you something.

A card, a screenplay, of allies and underlings, of one rung atop another.
Those above, those below.
Those above to trade with, and try to rob.
Those below to rob, with unfair trade and aggression.

“If you see this this this or this country, you must…..,”
- Interaction with some countries given more priority…

And NZ, what would NZ do.., run around doing lots of talking, lots of bragging,
about how good we are, and how we have to save the world, then do deals with the bullies,
get from them the riches they have stolen, from the poor we profess to care about.

The poor we profess to care about.
Run around after Japan going, “No you can’t do that..”
No you can’t do that..,
- admittedly we can stand against First-World countries and say “No Nukes.’
- but would we say it to the others? Israel, India, Pakistan and China.
We would have to chase the little kids fishing Patagonian Toothfish, tell them off, give them a ticket.
Then Japan attacks again the whale, and NZ says from far away, across the field (Japan can not even hear) – but NZ says; “Oh, you should not be doing that….,”
and then glances to see if anyone’s watching, then walk away,
from the scene of the crime,
to other prey….

If you are keen to do some small thing to help the whales then sign the petition. http://www.cgeorgemuller.com/antiwhalingpetition.htm

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

What would happen if the whaling boats were themselves harponed and then towed out of this sacred area to a ship grave yard then promptly sunk?, maybe the japs might get the message through their thick sculls that this is not right

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

good stick it to the japs

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

The whalers finally got what was coming to them ... better still it didn't take any action on anyone's part. The engine room caught fire ..... poetic justice I'd say....

Re: Pirates of the Southern Ocean: Sea Shepherd uses direct acti

Congratulations,
Captain Paul Watson and crew
SELVA-Vida Sin Fronteras is totally behind you. Thank you for stopping the Japanese whaling vessels in the Antartic, similar actions are required in Galapagos. Mariana
