@klaustopher1 First, I have never killed whales. There are people who hunt whales, and it is them that kill whales, which is the same thing that people eating at MacDonald do not kill cows themselves.
When did I expect others to be civil, you idiot. Stop making a fuck up, you just fuck yourself.
@drkuroneko You just fuck yourself freak. If you are for whale killing than you are no better. McDonalds? Gimme a break fuckwad idiot. The Sea is no one's fucking McDonalds, you scumbag piece of shit.
@drkuroneko You have endlessly compared eating whale to people eating cow. There is no comparison and yes you stupid fuck, you act like the Sea is the whalers fucking McDonald's. Of course you misspelled it ,due to your massive incompetence, and uneducated stupidity.
@klaustopher1 I do not go to McDonalds, and do not care how they spell it. Tell me, why is there "no comparison?" Because you think you are god, you can decide which animals can be eaten, and which not? Guess what. You are just an idiot. You are also a racist. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Oh, of course, you know no shame.
@drkuroneko No shame from despising the rapist of the Sea. Everything on this planet depends on the balance and health of the Sea. You are just to fucking stupid to see that. As for who can eat what, when you start raising domesticated whales on the back 40, you can eat all you want. As for those wild ones in the Sea, they have been off limits for decades. That's why the lying scumbags paint "research" on the side of commercial whaling vessels. Boy you whale eaters are scumbags.
@klaustopher1 and what makes you think that Japanese whaling breaks the balance? When you domesticate whales, you can eat them? You're sick. That means you can eat your own kids.
People eat wild animals all around the world. What do you think of the fact, you idiot?
@drkuroneko I've eaten wild game myself, but I think you scumbags are sick for killing and eating an intelligent mammal that is integral to our oceans health, and has already been hunted to nearly extinction. 99% of the people on this planet woke up. Only the slimy scumbags with no honor, integrity, or intelligence hunt them now.

Problem... Man doesn't learn from history. Climate changes combined with man's overhunting is what made the mammoth extinct. Large animals just don't populate quickly enough to compensate. The Whales are facing the same situation, but with an added bane. Our world's oceans are being polluted. Mercury is becoming a big issue. So all this added up almost guarantees extinction of the Whales!
All life began in the oceans. All life on Earth will die if key sea creatures become extinct.
It makes me want to give up on humanity, and i would if the Whales weren't the ones in danger of being lost.
You people just WANT to have a dead ocean, and to see a species of intelligent animals be extinct. All just so the japanese, who are ruining the economies of other countries, can become richer!
@info145 What is "key sea creatures." This ugly old man decided whales are "key"? Who is trying to make "key sea creatures" extinct, and how? Go ahead and give up on humanity, you idiot, the world wouldn't care about assholes like you. Intelligent animals? Guess what! You racisits are not intelligent.

@info145 In 1997, Watson was convicted in absentia[44] and sentenced to serve 120 days in jail by a court in Lofoten, Norway on charges of attempting to sink the small scale Norwegian fishing and whaling vessel.
Let the scumbag whale poachers go up against al Qaeda. Then let's see if they still think what the Sea Shepherds do is "terrorism". The Sea Shepherds prevent the whaling under UN GA RES 37/7: World Charter for Nature which specifically allows persons or associations to take action, so the SSCS may use whichever means they choose and it's LEGAL (or else they would've been shut down and incarcerated years ago!)
@info145 or better yet let see SSCS throw acid or use prop foulers on the US NAVY. or better yet do that to a US NAVY S.W.C.C team. after doing that we would see what the navy would say after the fact their asses would have been blown up an with REAL bullet wounds.
we would see who the real terroris are since the FBI has labled them eco terroris
@ITSGLENN83 Oh course they wouldn't. The US Navy isn't destroying populations of Whales like the japanese are. That's why the Shepherds shut their asses down, and wouldn't attack the Navy. That's a very bad comparison. Surely you can do better than that...
@info145 you did not answer the question i asked if you think paul realy got shot. you said i decline to answer that. now can you tell me if paul is an honest person??? thats the question
but just for your satisfaction. you ask if im an honest person. lets just say im just as honest as paul watson
@ITSGLENN83 The japanese whalers' spin doctors realized that the scariest word these days is the word "terrorist". So they've used that as a label to slap onto the Sea Shepherds as a tactic meant to shift the focus off of what they're doing and onto someone else in the hopes that those foolish enough to believe it will think the japanese are the helpless victims under attack while they're killing Whales. The robot minded drones of the world would then be doing their dirtywork for them
"When we arrive, the killers take notice. This point was made very clear most recently with Operation Ferocious Isles as zero whales were killed during our time in the Faroe Islands. Now two of the Sea Shepherd ships, the Steve Irwin and the Brigitte Bardot, are returning to Great Britain to begin preparations for our next Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. We will be ready to once again intervene against illegal japanese whaling."
the first thing i did, when I found out it was over, was:
I started crying, for like, an hour
Greenpeace did not do a thing worth doing
Paul Watson has lived my friend, he is livin to the last, and I want to do the same, He has shown me that even though things may not go your way all the time (for example, the ramming of the Ady Gil) but you CANNOT, under ANY, ANY circumstances,
@CrystalLeaf0998 Amen to that. Captain Watson is a hero that children should look up to (even japanese). We need that these days.
Greenpeace doesn't deserve to have him. They're a corporation of rich men who sit back and talk a good game and collect money without "directly" doing anything to make a difference. People donate money to the Sea Shepherds so they can continue to cut the profit whalers make out of "needless" death. He's not relaxing in some mansion! He's out over the waters himself.
"Large groups of homeless persons (named: The Suicide Squads) are being hired as workers at the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant and are being paid $400. (US) to brave high radiation levels as experts warn that the race to save the facility has already been lost. The fear that the plant is suddenly leaking more radiation into surrounding sea water at the plant has prompted this new action. The water is found to contain levels 3335 times higher than normal, almost 3 times higher than last week."
thats bad, i've read about what radiation can do to a fish, and its not good.
the Fukushima nuclear plant is down for the count, there is no way to save, so basicly, they're sending those people in there, possibly to die, and harming the oceans while doing it. huh. now i dont know about you, but that doesnt sound like fixing the problem to me
Listen to him very carefully and THINK. The 1986 ban was the result of years of worldwide effort of individuals, including scientists and governments, to save whales AND awareness of the picture of ALL species and the complex network of the environment and how fragile and connected everything is. Everyone knows this now including Japan. Paul Watson says "if the oceans die we die." Well Einstein said years ago "if bees die we die." Its time to stop all the swashbuckling - you're needed elsewhere.
Again you forget, the japanese themselves swear these whale hunts are NOT for food consumption purposes! When will the people see the facts? The japanese betray the japanese! Sometimes some people need to be told what to do, out of fear they'll make the wrong decisions.
Example: After WW2, the japanese were told they can never staff a military again.
They were also told they may never declare war on another nation ever again
@StanKindly Not "white man". But the "smarter man". Those who definitely know better must rank higher in the world. It's the same theory as the 'chain of command' scenario of the army or a corporation. When the time comes for an opening that would mean a promotion to Supervisor, who should get it? The man with four years university and two college degrees or the man who dropped out of seventh grade and can barely spell?
The japanese haven't truly done any research into Whales and their ecology
@info145 Well the "Wiser Man" knows the end doesn't justify the means and you don't need a four year degree to realize that. You have a golden opportunity to do more for the whales and their environment right now through peaceful and legal means. For one why don't you engage with allies you have right in Japan? A huge percentage of the population want all whaling stopped and are working to get their government to quit.
If you keep alienating organizations and governments who HAVE done the most..
(But look at what happened to their own Toru Suzuki).
i don't "have a problem with the japanese". i have a problem with the WHALERS.
i know a lot of japanese are against whaling, but they're too afraid to speak up against their corrupt government for fear of retaliation!.. especially after seeing what happened to Toru
@info145 and Greenpeace members but they still have an office there with support from many Japanese people. Look you've got a strategical advantage here - don't blow it with continuing the same tactics.
Let's just think for a moment about WHY all parties are doing anything they're doing. Even IF the Sea Shepherds would push or bend laws, they're doing everything in their power to help SAVE Whales. The japanese are working for greed of money. Are there NO other food sources for them to harvest?
Germany quits whaling in 1939! U.S. quits whaling in 1940! Argentina quits whaling in 1960! U.K. quits whaling in 1963! Holland quits whaling in 1964! New Zealand quits whaling in 1964! Norway withdraws from the Antarctic Ocean in 1972! Canada quits whaling in 1973! South Africa quits whaling in 1975! Australia quits whaling in 1978! Brazil quits whaling in 1980! Chile quits whaling in 1983! Peru quits whaling in 1984! Spain quits whaling in 1985! U.S.S.R quits whaling in 1987!
@info145 That pretty much says it all right there. Even Hitlers Germany had the sense to quit whaling. Says a lot about the scum out there hunting them today.
Look. An organization like Greenpeace gets it. They have changed with the times to effectively take on the issues and make a sustainable difference. No easy task but it is the most important work there is. When i see a many young, dedicated, intelligent and
yes _Passionate_ people that are in Sea Shepherd whose talents are being wasted and lives put on the line for a narrowly focused and ill conceived purpose and strategy it makes me sick. Get Smart and truly organize before someone gets hurt!
I repeat: End of the coal industry in the U.S. - OK? Oil, gas and coal have owned this government and the economy has been at their mercy for over a hundred years! Coal is the largest source of CO2 and 60% of electricity is generated by coal - not to mention factories. So this is a BIG DEAL and HUGE possibility for the Environmental Movement to get back on track! That is where life on this planet *whales included* has the best chance and where everyone should be focused - including Paul Watson.
As you probably already know, the popularly accepted definitions between "arrest" and "prosecute" is a gray area. Also, he was FORCED to cease trying to stop the seal killers in Canada. It's true. Look it up.
@info145 sounds like more lies. just like the time paul watson said he got shot. any one that shoots guns knows that was fake. PAUL WATSON A.K.A "THE PAULRUS" YOUR NOT FOOL ME.
@info145 an you said "There have not been any successful attempts at prosecuting Watson for his activities with Sea Shepherd. Watson himself defends his actions as falling within international law, in particular Sea Shepherd's right to enforce maritime regulations against illegal whalers and sealers."
well???? which 1 is it then??? was he or was he not prosecuted
@info145 Who profits? I believe its Japan's Government which in turn benefits the people. What if the U.S. did that with beef.... we could pay off the national debt.
@StanKindly Benefit the people? Whale meat sells for $64. per pound. So one Minke of 6 tons would make the whalers $768,000...
unless the meat is discovered to have high levels of mercury in it, then the heroes of Japan generously donate those batches to schools, to serve as lunches because they can't sell it. wikipedia. org/wiki/Japanese_whaling
(It's all true. Look under headline: "Commercial Viability")
@info145 Wikipedia? Ya Think?? If that's true does Paul Watson know this? Does he care?? Probably no more than the folks he sends out on his missions...just guessing.
@info145 Come on references are sometimes reliable, sometimes not, sometimes its someone who appears to be an authority but is not, sometimes its someone directly involved but is biased toward a conclusion etc, etc..
Paul Watson is a perfect exampe of someone who appears to be an authority on the environment making subjective remarks - to justify his actions - and people accept it as fact. -Back where we started, here we go round and round again - Kinks
When is Paul Watson going to take up the issue of wholesale raising and slaughtering of cows - in the most inhumane way imaginable? Yes he is saving Whales but he is also making incorrect and misleading statements to "appear" like he is justified in his method and has moral high ground - not to mention putting young idealistic kids in harms way when they might be better served using their energies for a political solution.
Putting kids in harms way? Oh, you mean the VOLUNTEERS?
Yes, he's saving Whales. No, he's not saving cows.
Is any breed of cow in danger of becoming extinct? Is any type of Whale being replenished daily by man after being slaughtered?
Cutting the japanese profits IS the key to the end of whaling. That AND the formal legal actions lodged against Japan in the International Court of Justice (The Hague, Netherlands).
@info145 The issue is multi-facetted and part of the whole worldwide issue of a "sustainable planet" (Big Picture OK). My criticism of Watson is basically:
A: He's _invoking passions_ to action, not only dangerous, but are outdated (70's) and are eventually going to fail in the present political climate.
B. He seems to be singling out Japan as the main offender (highly debatable)
C. Japan has been signatory to the IWC for many years and claims to be complying
C: "While Japan claims the hunt is purely for research purposes, they return to port with hundreds of tons of whale meat PACKAGED and ready for the country's commercial markets. This vividly shows Japan's determination to maintain a "commercial" whaling industry under the guise of science in an internationally protected sanctuary. (Antarctica, established through the efforts of Al Gore). We can not allow them to continue to flout such international agreements." stopwhalingnow. com
@info145 Japan is a fishing nation, don't forget, and much of their economy and health (japanese are the healthiest people in the world). I'm not defending killing whales but they make several valid points and the question of "illegal" is still open for debate. Japan also is a leader in many fields (progressive) and has on of the least carbon footprints per capita then any other industrialized nation.
Respond to this video... Japan may well be doing something illegal or morally wrong but there are better/proper ways to address that. Pirate Paul ( by his own admission) is taking the law into his own hands and its violent! Is he doing any good? Well seasons 2008 - 2010 Japan went home with their quota - despite his actions - and probably thinking the same thing most reasonable people would about Paul Watson...and that is, "wow he's going to get some one killed!"
@StanKindly The Sea Shepherds are there for several goals, the key one is PUBLICITY. To open some eyes and raise awareness on what's happening in the Whale's sanctuary.
Then and only then will laws be changed. People have been blind to all this and that's how the japanese wanted to keep it.
"Pirate" is just for publicity. Pirates are a very "in" thing these days. It's only an "image". Public awareness needs to be raised about the whale hunting. This is a way to do it
@info145 OK and he's getting a lot of it too. But the issue was seriously addressed in 1986 and that was by political means based on scientific research (please no one react to the word "research" here). There is no controversy among scientists and governments about saving whales or any other species - in fact the global warming has officially been recognized as the cause (all nations) they just haven't implemented agreement. Why? The biggest reason and hardest to overcome is Economies.
@info145 The good news is just now (this summer even) the market is moving rapidly towards renewable energies i.e. Michael Bloomberg just donated 50M to Sierra Club's "ending coal" which stands to be a success and final death blow to the coal industry in this country. Paul Watson says that a "few people can affect change" well that change would be better served if he entered into the political arena (now that he's got his publicity) like Sierra Club or Green-peace, no? I say sooner the better..
C: "Research" is a transparent cover story which allows them to exploit the anti-whaling law loophole. Collecting the meat to sell is the prime goal.
Note: What kind of research has a "quota"? The japanese themselves said "The Sea Shepherds are interfering with our PROCESSING of a whale on our FACTORY ship." (not "research of a whale on their science vessel"). Fact: In April of 2010, what was the foremost charge Captain Bethune was arrested for? "Obstruction of business".
B: November 1986: "SSCS activists return to Iceland and take action against illegal Icelandic whaling operations. Sea Shepherd members Rod Coronado and David Howitt engineer the sinking of two of Iceland's four whaling ships in Reykjavik harbor.
They also destroy the whale processing station at Hvalfjodur. This mission shuts down Icelandic commercial whaling activities for the next 16 years. The attack becomes a headline story worldwide."
B: Why do the Sea Shepherds attack japanese vessels? Because they're the only country in the world who refuses to accept the Whale's Sanctuary. Can't you see what i'm trying to say? It was voted upon. And in a vote, Majority Rules. Let the Whales have one peaceful and safe place to go, dammit. Is that too much to ask?
A: The problem is everyone's problem, and that of all FUTURE generations. They say "It's ok, Minkes aren't endangered".
The japanese set out to kill Minke Whales, Humpback Whales, Fin Whales, Sei Whales, Byrdes Whales, and Beaked Whales every year... with a quota of over a thousand in total. Look up the subsistence of ALL of these.
Overplundering will damage the ecosystem beyond repair.
@info145 I'm not going to argue the endangered species because I believe all species are endangered BUT by carbon emissions - that is the main source of the problem (oceans, arable land, species, climate change etc etc...) Which brings me back to the point of IWC. That is one of the few times governments actually listened to scientists and came together to really do something and make a difference. This cannot be stressed enough because it goes beyond and pass the "passions" for real change.
A: The Sea Shepherds are acting in proxy of government action, as according to the stated law. The Sea Shepherds prevent whaling under UN GA RES 37/7: World Charter for Nature which specifically allows persons or associations to take action. A current (not 70s) law.
@info145 I'll have to research that one but oddly I have never heard him cite that particular rule - hmmmm....
I suppose that justification is linked to your whale sanctuary rule which I'm assuming was voted on by IWC...??
Why doesn't he bring a law suit? I do know that SSCS has other actions against other countries but still not satisfied that Japan is not being targeted.
@StanKindly BOTH is even better! Whales are very susceptible to toxins. Well, when the japanese kill a Whale, the Shepherds throw the legally harmless stinkbombs of butter to taint the meat so the whalers can't profit from it. So now they've spent the costs of fuel, salaries for their men, food & supplies, whatever licenses, and bribes... and have nothing to show for it but bankruptcy.
This plus the legal battles they have initiated in World Court of Justice (Hague) will eventually pay off
Children?? every person working in Sea Shepherd are adults.... please reframe from using statements to appear justified in your ideals against Sea Shepherd.
Also Sea Shepherd is what it says on the title.... SEA shepherd... not LAND shepherd
And just because there are other evils out there doesn't make any less important... why should Sea Shepherd abandon their good work just because you can't be bothered to read the name correctly.
@revron77 So you don't bother to address any of my points? The main one being Paul Watson is misleading people when he says things like Japan is "illegally" whaling - "for commercial purposes"? Just because he says so? Why doesn't he file a law suit? Do you know who the IWC is? Do you know they did infinitely more to save whales than Paul Watson will or ever do?? Why doesn't Green-peace want anything to do with him? I could go on but you need to do some research at this point - in my opinion :)
The fact is we have studied all this time and time agian........ we are getting sick of having to repeat things over and over because people like you cannot do their own research.
Japans illegally killing whales because their "Research program" isn't research.. its already been disclaimed by the scientific community.. and classed as commercial..... even the people that support it admit its about profits.
@revron77 Quit it. The only "governing body" that is even close to being officia - regarding whaling - is the IWC, and that's volunteer! Now if you can show me where in that agreement that Antarctica waters are prohibited and Japan (who is signatory) is not complying then I stand corrected. In the meantime keep you veiled pejoratives to yourself please.
Here we go statu quo.......... ahhhh I suppose you would argue the Nazis would have the right to invade Poland if this was 1939... because the only "governing body" that is even close to being official and right on international policy..... because though the invasion is bad... a bureaucratic signs the papers that now decides morality, justice, and science....
Maybe you should look for alternative sources.... governments don't have good track records...
I have nothig but the highest admiration for Paul Watson his life's work in conservation is to be admired...someday I will shake that man's hand and say... 'thank you'
They're not scientists. They're poachers, plain and simple. They paint "research" on their ships like anyone with a brain would believe them. Within 5 minutes after they kill a whale and tow it on board the Nisshin Maru, it's being cut up and packed in freezer crates to be sold for food. There's no research, there isn't even TIME to do research, it's all a mechanized butchery operation. You don't need to kill whales to get DNA for research, you can just use tissue extraction darts for that!
Why don't the Sea Shepherds just commandeer a Japanese whaler and use it against the japanese fleet. Sorry just a little to much of Edward Teach aka "Captain Blackbeard" in me I'm related.
I'm ex-US Navy and related to Captain Blackbeard the real one my aunt had my family tree done. I want to join I think I could really help. I've never gotten sea sick.

Let the scumbag whale poachers go up against al Qaeda. Then let's see if they still think what the Sea Shepherds do is "terrorism". The Sea Shepherds prevent the whaling under UN GA RES 37/7: World Charter for Nature which specifically allows persons or associations to take action, so the SSCS may use whichever means they choose and it's LEGAL (or else they would've been shut down and incarcerated years ago!)

@info145 or better yet let see SSCS throw acid or use prop foulers on the US NAVY. or better yet do that to a US NAVY S.W.C.C team. after doing that we would see what the navy would say after the fact their asses would have been blown up an with REAL bullet wounds.

@ITSGLENN83 The japanese whalers' spin doctors realized that the scariest word these days is the word "terrorist". So they've used that as a label to slap onto the Sea Shepherds as a tactic meant to shift the focus off of what they're doing and onto someone else in the hopes that those foolish enough to believe it will think the japanese are the helpless victims under attack while they're killing Whales. The robot minded drones of the world would then be doing their dirtywork for them

Listen to him very carefully and THINK.

Everyone knows this now including Japan. Paul Watson says "if the oceans die we die." Well Einstein said years ago "if bees die we die."

@StanKindly The Sea Shepherds are there for several goals, the key one is PUBLICITY. To open some eyes and raise awareness on what's happening in the Whale's sanctuary.
Then and only then will laws be changed. People have been blind to all this and that's how the japanese wanted to keep it.
"Pirate" is just for publicity. Pirates are a very "in" thing these days. It's only an "image". Public awareness needs to be raised about the whale hunting. This is a way to do it

@info145 OK and he's getting a lot of it too. But the issue was seriously addressed in 1986 and that was by political means based on scientific research (please no one react to the word "research" here). There is no controversy among scientists and governments about saving whales or any other species - in fact the global warming has officially been recognized as the cause (all nations) they just haven't implemented agreement. Why? The biggest reason and hardest to overcome is Economies.

@StanKindly BOTH is even better! Whales are very susceptible to toxins. Well, when the japanese kill a Whale, the Shepherds throw the legally harmless stinkbombs of butter to taint the meat so the whalers can't profit from it. So now they've spent the costs of fuel, salaries for their men, food & supplies, whatever licenses, and bribes... and have nothing to show for it but bankruptcy.
This plus the legal battles they have initiated in World Court of Justice (Hague) will eventually pay off

They're not scientists. They're poachers, plain and simple. They paint "research" on their ships like anyone with a brain would believe them. Within 5 minutes after they kill a whale and tow it on board the Nisshin Maru, it's being cut up and packed in freezer crates to be sold for food. There's no research, there isn't even TIME to do research, it's all a mechanized butchery operation. You don't need to kill whales to get DNA for research, you can just use tissue extraction darts for that!
