The Sea Shepherd group, which any of you who have watched Whale Wars, if familiar with blames it on the Japanese. Then again anyone who has watched Whale Wars should know Sea Shepherd claims should always be viewed with skepticism.

It was the ship named after him?
Drat! If they'd gone after him-he'd have ripped the bow of their ship off-and sunk 'em right there!

Nisshin Maru, Come on down!

"The anti-whaling craft had been actively blocking the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, the Japanese whaling fleet's factory ship, when the collision occurred."

Eh, it's really hard to feel bad for them when they're engaged in stupid stuff like this.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of whaling, but if are stupid enough to engage a ship bigger than your boat and you sink, fuck you. Darwin wins again.

"Darwin wins again."

Yep. Reminds me of a bunch of anti-nuke protestors that managed to get around the Coast Guard line in Vancouver (Expo '86?) to try to block a US cruiser from entering port.

They pulled up in front, dropped sails, and while they were unrolling their banner got run over by said cruiser. Duh.

Now THAT was funny! USS Horne, I think it was.

The SS Bob Barker got spayed and neutered?

Meh, hard to tell who to cheer for in these stories.

The Sea Shepherd guys are dangerous, albeit well-intentioned, fools and the Japanese Whalers are simply a bunch of immoral asswipes.

Be Well.

Meh, hard to tell who to cheer for in these stories.

As an ex-Sailor and a worker on GoM, it's not very easy to cheer for soneome who deliberately and illegally creates a hazard on the high seas. Mother Ocean is very unforgiving.

"Mother Ocean is very unforgiving."

The whales have seen worse.

The whales have seen worse.

Probably so

Damn marine terrorists! Maybe this'll teach 'em a lesson!
