Sea Shepherd Society discuss Whale Wars on Larry King 6/4/09 p. 2

[tetuwata823]

SS is just creating enmity between nations and people

I hope they chang the way to show there method

what they doing now is like terrorists and racists

[info145]

A lot of japanese are against whaling too!!!

[eweykidd13d]

Your video is a favorite on Lilongwe

[AnimalGirl2011]

@TheAkimor your fourth statement about Paul is incorrect. He is not the one risking anyones lives, the people are volunteers. Therefore they are risking their own lives. If you don't believe be watch this again.. And who cares about his past it's what he's doing now that matters...;)

[TheRagManSmiles]

the Only scientific fact that whaling companies can produce on whale populations is that for everyone they kill for commerce there's one less left in the ocean.

[NKWIA12]

Does the U.S. love wars ? Yes.

Is killing people popular in the U.S. ? Yes.

Do they kill animals for food ? Yes.

Is the U.S. whaling country ? Yes.

So, why they don't change their country first ?

Because they don't want to see their ugly hypocritical faces in the mirror.

[framexyourxface]

@NKWIA12 Actually if you knew anything about the organization then you'd know that this isn't an American based unit and they do more than protect whales. They help all marine wildlife everywhere. & Paul Watson is Canadian, not American, where he's been trying to stop the killing of baby seals for years. So please, next time you try to be cool and get the most likes on youtube research what you're insulting.

[NKWIA12]

@framexyourxface S.S has the headquarters in Washington, the U.S, and has a tax exempt status in the U.S. My telling the truth insults you ? Then that's your problem.

[09hereweare]

@NKWIA12

Agree

Somewhat agree

Agree

Only a small group of natives in Alaska kill whales.

The majority of Sea Shepherd, at least those on the boats, are not from the US. Paul is Canadian and only about five of the people on the boat are from the US.

[NKWIA12]

@09hereweare And S.S. has a headquarters in Washington, the U.S. , and has a tax exempt status in the U.S.. Isn't that cool ?

[halbsowilddieband]

@NKWIA12 only a few native tribes in alaska are whaling and the most of the crew are not from the U.S., even the captain paul watson is not. And they eat no meat on their ships, they live vegan. so why are you not informing yourself before saying things that are wrong?

[NKWIA12]

@halbsowilddieband Then how come they have a headquarters in the U.S., and a tax exempt status in the U.S. ?

[halbsowilddieband]

@NKWIA12 maybe the HQ is in the US because they are afraid that the government could close it if it would be in Canada. The canadians would have a reason for that, because Sea Shepherd is trying to save the baby seals every winter from slaughtering. And by the way, why is it important where they come from? They try to shut down whaling not only from japan, also from norway and iceland. And they had crew members from this countrys too.

[NKWIA12]

@halbsowilddieband How come the U.S. govt doesn't close it ?

[halbsowilddieband]

@NKWIA12 because they have NO REASON!!! what the hell, dont get annoying and inform yourself

[NKWIA12]

@halbsowilddieband Yeah, they both love violence, don't they ? That's their very way to a solution, and I'm sure you love it.

[halbsowilddieband]

@NKWIA12 come on, why should I? Because I´m german? XD no just kidding, we germans are peaceful now. But sea shepherd is just violent against things, not against people. the japanese are the one who are beating them with pipes or threw anchors on them. right, the usa`s choice to solve a problem is to invade the state where it comes from. usa´s external policy is bullshit, but they have nothing against sea shepherd, because they do nothing against the national economy, not like in canada

[NKWIA12]

@halbsowilddieband  You're a fucking nazi liar.

[NKWIA12]

[lobo9er]

these guys are weekend warrior morons. They throw stuff at them and try to wreck their prop and then they wonder why they get aggressive response. A bunch of college drop outs following Paul a coward that stays on board. they are lucky none of them have gotten seriously hurt.

[paintpro785]

[RJPBurtonBoards]

8M is nothing to japan

[captinseperoth]

stupid bunch of folks,

lets say they all die in an acident,and then whalers still continue whale...

...well folks,they just wasted their,young prime lives!

[drkuroneko]

bunch of idiots just saying whatever they want to say. There is no discussion here.

[GranFury440]

The Japanese sure "researched" the Chinese and others in Unit 731 and the Rape Of Nanking didn't they? The Japanese would "research" the whole world if they had actually been succesful when trying to take it over with Hitler. Hell Hitler got his idea to "research" on the Jewish from what the Japanese did BEFORE WWII. looks like the process of trying to stop the Japanese from killing everyone and everything is still going on.

[skydude38]

@GranFury440 I got to talk to a Nazi once...America actually attacked them,something to do with telegrams from Great Britain to Mexico diguised as Germany. Besides that, he told me that Japan wasn't with Germany, Japan wanted oil, Germany had oil and so did America. The only reason they didn't attack germany because they KNEW that the Nazis would destroy them. When they found out America had nukes and we were not afraid to use them, thats when they backed off. Btw Hitler didn't want the world.

[GranFury440]

@skydude38. Well of course a NAZI would say shit like that. They're NAZIS!! So you completely ignore Nanking and Unit 731. You ignore what the Nazis did to the Jewish. Hell, I'm not going to ignore that the U.S pardoned the Japanese millitary leader in exchange for Japan's info from their unit 731 research. The U.S is guilty of that! That's for damn sure and I don't like it! I don't exactly defend everything my country's gov does, I don't defend any suffering that ANYONE inflicts.

[Stuntsheep]

They should start to research their own citizens the same way.

[asiarose5]

I love Capt. Paul Watson and the whole crew of the Sea Shepherd.

There are so many people out there that have no idea about what happens on foreign bodies of water and this show is a real eyeopener.

Maybe they will do Shark wars next.

[CAPTSCRU33Y]

If the japanese want to research something, they should try studying the geology of their country instead, since compared to california, they get like the fucking moomba when it comes to earthquakes.

[1giblesp]

Good interview, thanks for posting. For the oceans...

[gombis666]

Laurens is HAWT! Woof. Sexy boy!

[chmarr]

Blue whales were abundant in nearly all the oceans until the beginning of the twentieth century. For over 40 years, they were hunted almost to extinction by whalers until protected by the international community in 1966. A 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 blue whales worldwide

[skydude38]

@chmarr If I recall, I remember a DISNEY Mickey Mouse episode where, Mickey,Donald, and Goofy all went Whaling. And yes, the episode was called WHALING. They shot anchors at the whales and they showed the whales to be large demonic-looking creatures. So right there is the proof that it came in around the 1900s.

[donjuandonjuan]

Uh what fuck ?.  Oh good job save the whales but kill the sailor's on board other ships by having boat collision's..... Good Job.

[Archer720]

@donjuandonjuan I'd throw hand grenades if I was there. Less Japs in the world the better.

[wtfisthismess808]

@Archer720 And less technology for you.

[MsAujo]

Brilliant! Thanks for enforcing the law and protecting the whales where our governments fail.

[aggiescatz]

I can't believe there are people on here actually defending the whalers and claiming whales are not endangered through our (human) activities - what a fucked-up generally ignorant waste of a species we are.

[aggiescatz]

I can't believe there are people on here actually defending the whalers and claiming whales are not endangered through our (human) activities - what a fucked-up generally ignorant waste of a species we are.

[ssteinbeckbb]

Some researchs at the Institute Cetacean Research have said that Fin whales are no longer endangered in the Antarctic Ocean. In fact, their nunmbers are growing as well as those of the Hampback Whales. However, Blue Whales are still considered to be endangered. The Japanese researchers have been discovering new information about whales's ecosystems through the fatality and from living whales.What the Sea sheperd does is interrupting a scientific endeavor.

[chmarr]

@ssteinbeckbb

the fin whale was heavily hunted during the twentieth century and is an endangered species. Almost 750,000 fin whales were taken from the Southern Hemisphere alone between 1904 and 1979[5] and less than 3,000 currently remain in that region

get your facts right before saying anything :)

[ssteinbeckbb]

@chmarr How did you provide your numbers? What is your source? Because when I researched about it in both English and Japanses, some researchers say they are still endangered, however, some researchers say, their numbers are growing and recovering. I do not belive your research unless you are a great scientist. Moreover, I do have an open-minded attitude on this issue.

[rawmouseius]

god damn that south park episode, they where showing that the japanese are a bunch of over aggresive jack-asses

[billybobs123]

you people suck, I WANT WHALE BURGER!

[Liynkx]

The only thing that makes me support these people is the fact that the whales are endangered. Nothing is worth destroying a species.

[drkuroneko]

and the kind of whales that Japan hunts mostly, minke whales, are not endangered. Congratulations. You are no longer supporting these idiots.

[Left33Hand]

I HATE THESE FUCKERS. They are so high of them selfs, egocentric useless people.

[whalingo]

Sea shepherd is people polluting the sea

[whalingo]

Go to hell　SSCS!

[Sammydepammy]

welcome to the real world. sometimes you really need an asshole to stop assholes

There is a UN-law that says Japan can catch whales.butt with no control afterwards.

Now the Dutch goverment wants the take back sailling under Dutch flagg because they dont want to piss of the political relationship.(yes our PM is a soft egg)

And they have started to speed up that new law before the new season dec-feb 2010.

Ps;Holland has signed every animal protection law there is in the world...

[crhood2166]

Amazing that people idolize and give their money to a liar, hypocrite and convicted felon like Paul Watson. And those aren't idle claims, they are provable (check out the site at SeaShepherdLies). The guy has no regard for the truth and admits in his book that lying can be a "tactic". He lies at least three times in the Larry King interview.

[oskitarrodriguez]

So what if they sink fishing boats. It's a war against those fuckers. Fuck the people who are cruel to animals. It's a war, so we're going to fuck you up !!!

[crhood2166]

We love you guys. You pro-S.S. people manage to make the argument against yourselves better than we can.

[jootai]

they should be raped ineffecient fuckers!

what else is new another jap saying Sea Shepherd is a terriost. Stupid Gooks

[RecentlySeen]

WHALERS HELP POISON THEIR OWN PEOPLE & CHILDREN:

"A Norsk Scientific panel has ruled that meat from minke whales contained dangerous levels of chemicals & PCBs 10-1000 x higher than even fish, Monday."

"Our advice is not to eat whale meat," due to the impact on child's brains, said Janneche Utne Skaare, deputy director of the Nordic Natl Institute.

"Japan, Norway, & Denmark have issued advisories against eating whale meat because of brain damage due to toxic mercury."

Yeah... but not the kind of terrorists who pull down the twin towers... SADLY :(

I hope that more of this kind appers soon.

TERRORISTS KICK ASS!!!

GO SEA SHEPHERD!

[michajcw]

little Bastard @xbox360master360

[xbox360master360]

Anybody who respects the sea shepherd terrorists are just as stupid as the eco hippies who lie and distort the truth more than anyone. And whoever says the japanese whaling fleet is only out there for profit take a good look at where the bailout money for wallstreet ended up you hippie whale lovers. HELP PEOPLE FIRST you vegetarian eco terrorist loving idiots

[venturafor2012]

here in the United States, we already have a law which makes any meat taken from a whale illegal -- it's just never enforced, if we enforce this law Japan will lose a lot more money a lot faster!!! :-)

[pass558]

so i want to know if it is ok for this people to kill wale (yes or no ?)

[SlipKnot7480]

larry is such a dumb ass, what a relic, he needs to go away

[xbox360master360]

if any whale lover watched this video they should have paid attention to when Larry King asked Paul Watson "how many whales are there " and and the dumbass couldnt come up with a number but still claimed they are endangered, WHAT A DUMB SHIT

[shelbymj17]

bottom line......the japenese are whaling illegally.....may-be someone should harpoon them & see how it feels! Everyone knows that the whales are endangered, who cares if Paul knows how many whales there actually are!! These people are endangering their own lives to save that of others....just say thank-you

[xbox360master360]

whoever thinks these eco terrorists are doing good for this world are stupid. They lie all the time and and break laws all the time themselves. These hippies are retards and deserve to sink to the bottom of the ocean

[poiuytrew2]

Well aren't you the kind one. You want these people who are resisting factory whalers -- who do INDEED lie-- to all die a horrible death? Sir or Madam, go fuck yourself.

[bassplayerguy120]

agreed

[crayola77777]

The Japanese lie. There is no research. Those who defend them are either stupid, paid to post this bullshit, or suck Japanese cock.

[saltwaterebel]

ocontin,,, youre correct. these vile fucks are hated by all but the fringe fitlthy neo- hippie douche bags

[poiuytrew2]

How are they vile fucks? They adhere to a philosophy of Utilitarian values, and they want to show practice compassion towards the whale. Those lying whalers are making a significant amount of money selling whale meat. They are a factory industrial whaling group, and anyone wishing ill upon the Sea Shepherd and an anthropocentric sack of shit.

[saltwaterebel]

poiuytrew,,, you have real trouble trying to convey a thought dont you? . if you cant see how this fuckhead watson is a vile opportunist then you are an idiot. do you really think this asshole isnt getting paid, big? go hug a tree moron.

[crayola77777]

Go Sea Shepherd!!!!

[viewman5]

Sea Shepherd should buy torpedoes, and blow the japs out of the water =D

[coreliandude76]

You know very well they can't do that. However, they could use some sort of launcher for the stink grenades. The way they are doing it now (just throwing them to the whalers) has a very restricted range (limited by the force of the crewmembers arms) and also they are not very accurate. I wonder if they have thought of having some sort of modified grenade launchers installed on the ship and the helicopter. Ive seen that such guns are aviable in many non lethal weapon manufacturers.

[IcedPlasma5213]

Good plan I'll buy them =D

[hart444]

Sink the poachers.

[marsh723]

ocontin40 your a douchebag.

[ocontin40]

Dumbass bastards, can't wait to see them drown and turn into popsicles.

[kevkevinkev]

That's disgusting. Don't they know how smart whales are? This show is way better than Deadliest Catch.

[OreoK11]

@ 1:20

The Sea Shepards are for a good cause but they show "Pirating" techniques to stop these whaling fleets.

If you happened to be riding on a boat wouldnt you be scared if you got into close contact such at the battle around 0:40?

So all Im saying is, those whaling fleets are probably just attacking back for their own self-defense.

[isanatori]

@ 6:32

Larry King: "Do you have any idea how many whales there are out there?"

Paul Watson: "Err... No."

It says it all, besides the fact he avoids mentioning minke whales populations, the main target species of Japanese research programme in the Southern Ocean.

[yankee19050]

日本人の考え方は馬鹿な！それは研究じゃない。

What research are they doing? Discovering cures for cancer? impotency? alzheimer's?

NO- they are packaging the meat and selling it. That is NOT science- it's the food industry.

[KnightBoi84]

These eco-terrorists are dumbfucks I wish they die in the open waters.

[VirtualCandidate]

They sell the whale meat. That makes it commercial. That makes it always illegal. Otherwise, all any commercial operation would have to do is take a couple of tissue samples and they can call it science!

And where exactly is all this scientific research being published?

[NKWIA12]

@VirtualCandidate The U.S. is a whaling country, and they sell byproducts of whales at gift shops. THAT'S COMMERCIAL.

[isanatori]

Recognizing that continuous collection and analysis of biological data in connection with the operations of factory ships and land stations are indispensable to sound and constructive management of the whale fisheries, the Contracting Governments will take all practicable measures to obtain such data.

[doncorleon818]

100 nukes should have been dropped on Japan. Fucking worthless country....breed like rats, overpopulate, eat anything that moves.

Whales are more valuable than Japan.

[VirtualCandidate]

What bull. What is so essential about this research? How many whales has it saved?

[b4igetu]

well the Minke whale population is rising.

[xMFALx]

And I caught you. You have an ulterior motive. Why do you spend so much time attacking the Sea Shepherd videos that are on Youtube. Connected to the whaling industry, hmm?

[ocontin40]

How about Paul Watson is a fuckbag? Many people despise him, and I watch only because I want to see the floating tub of morons sink.

[1giblesp]

@isanatori Pure BULLSHIT. The Japanese eat them. If they are endangered, they fetch more money. The Japanese could at least be honest in their evil.

Stop hiding behind nonsensical statistics, nobody believes that the Japanese are conducting any form of sound, ethical research.

[isanatori]

Each Contracting Government shall transmit to such body as may be designated by the Commission, in so far as practicable, and at intervals of not more than one year, scientific information available to that Government with respect to whales and whaling, including the results of research conducted pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article and to Article IV.

[VirtualCandidate]

Tissue samples can be taken from whales without killing them. Where are all of these annual scientific reports? And how could making a report be impracticable? We have the internet now. I can't imagine it being so tough to report frequently.

[b4igetu]

use this thing called google, it is very helpful in finding the anual reports, which MUST be done as required by the IWC. Under IWC regulations they also must use the meat, they cannot put it to waste. Remember IWC is a international board so these are decisions coming from every country.

[yankee19050]

The only reports I've read published by the Japanese are about how delicious whale meat is.

[b4igetu]

Lol they have discovered many things that we didn't previously know about whales, such as DNA differences between what was thought similar species. Migration routes, and purposes of being near antarctica the same time each year.

I really don't think you fucking ecomentalist can read because you don't know much about this do you

[isanatori]

Any whales taken under these special permits shall so far as practicable be processed and the proceeds shall be dealt with in accordance with directions issued by the Government by which the permit was granted.

[isanatori]

Each Contracting Government shall report at once to the Commission all such authorizations which it has granted. Each Contracting Government may at any time revoke any such special permit which it has granted.

[isanatori]

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Convention any Contracting Government may grant to any of its nationals a special permit authorizing that national to kill, take and treat whales for purposes of scientific research subject to such restrictions as to number and subject to such other conditions as the Contracting Government thinks fit, and the killing, taking, and treating of whales in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall be exempt from the operation of this Convention.
