[Sancheez93]

After seing this I am even more shameful for being a Norwegian. Wellspoken and to the point, Paul Watson.

Thank God for Paul Watson and his crew. Outstanding interview, shame on the whalers the people who do such things. Well done Paul Watson.

What are they throwing??

[sinkthenisshinmaru]

Hi BrunosDiveShop,

They are throwing labeller bottles of 'Rotten Butter', sometimes marine smoke bombs. All harmless unless you drink them or eat them.

[sinkthenisshinmaru]

Using our ships, helicopter and zodiac/delta craft we are known for disrupting the whaling activities by using marine smoke bombs, firing gallons of surplus dessert pie fillings through water cannon, prop-fouling, stink bombs of rotten butter (AKA butyric acid, an organic mild acid safe for the environment) and has also trialled the deployment of the white powder hydroxy-propyl-methyl cellulose - the non-toxic food grade product that is used to coat pills which becomes very slippery in water.

[sinkthenisshinmaru]

The Japanese use the 'acid' term to convey the rotten butter chemical as a highly corrosive harmful substance which is not true! Butyric (the chemical which naturally form in rotten butter - hence the name) is very mild and is in fact less acidic than many chemicals that you eat in fruit. It is a non toxic organic liquid which is obnoxiously smelly and at worst will cause whalers to feel sick. It breaks down in minutes in seawater and causes no harm to marine life.

[BrunosDiveShop]

Nice! We are hoping to produce and sell some t-shirts, the funds from which we will be donating to the cause... Keep it up!

[dancelovrgrl]

HAHA, I was watching this japanese news casting thing and they were talking about butyric acid and they were saying they are "harmful chemicals" and they can get blind and it is very unhealthy. I looked it up and it says it harmless (like you stated). So it makes my laugh (again) like you said, that the japanese are saying this is so bad. and AWSOME video by the way!

[androclestipster]

Ah, Paul Watson is the best. Without him and the crew of the Sea Shepard, just imagine the whales and sharks would be gone. Excellent video.
