Pete Bethune arrives home

[Stopthegreed]

Pete just loves the media and has a book he wants to sell. Thats all there is to this guy. No magic just a media Whore with a back pack

[andysamba]

@Stopthegreed would you go to jail for 3 months just to get famous? i wouldn't, pete is a true here, not a cameralover

[Stopthegreed]

@andysamba There was a chance he wouldnt have even gone back to Japan. Really... you dont think the whole boarding was for the camera? Pete didnt even own the Boat. He had no interest in the boat anymore. You think he boarded the Shonan for what? to hand a bill to its Captain? Everyone knows that was a joke and the skipper would never pay or return with Pete to the Steve Irwin. It was a complete media stunt. And Paul Watson assured Pete if he was taken back Sea Shepherd would get him out ASAP

[Stopthegreed]

Respond to this video... I completely believe Pete did it for the attention. He was writing a book at the time and after the ramming had only a short story. He wasnt interested in saving Whales. He treated the whole experience as a game. Thats why the Ady got cut in two. Who sits on the outriggers of a small glass boat and laughs and takes pictures of a harpoon ship bearing down on them?? The Japanese dont think its a game. Paul told Pete to go back to NZ and do media. Pete didnt want 2

[motorcyclevlogger]

@Stopthegreed no shit, he admits that himself. the more attention he gets the more funding he gets

[Stopthegreed]

Respond to this video... How was his book going to read..... The Bob Barker found the fleet, we arrived and spent 5 hours with the fleet then i put my boat in front of an on coming harpoon ship and got run over. THE END. In Petes blackmail letter to Sea Shepherd he demanded his own Zodiac with his own crew and his own film crew. And the rights to write and sell another book. The really funny thing is in NZ Pete became famous but a negative famous. When ever he spoke he got bad feedback

[irishveganboy]

Well done PETE from your friends at Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN) in Ireland.

[ayoria92]

A REAL HERO!

[ayoria92]

great man. un gran hombre me dio pena lo de la embarcacion porque se ve que el era muy eficiente. y verlo llorar. ufff

[presto2388]

I hope he goes back 2 whale wars he is bad

[fcguy7]

One hell of a great New Zealander ... I want more American's to be like Pete!

[ModellMeister]

The Sea Shepherd is breaking human rights laws, attacking whalers/research vessels which are LEGAL. All those scumbags want is money. They are going onto OTHER's land and harrassing local fishermen. What if the Japanese did that to American farms, which as we ALL know torture their chicken, cows, pigs, etc. Is it ok to torture and kill those animals by the millions and not ok to hunt a CONTROLLED amount of whales per year where ALL the whale is used?

[TheNycndn]

Hero? Gimme a break. This is bullying at it's best.. What about Norway, St Vincent, The Grenadines, the US, Russia? They think it's OK b/c they think the Japanese are passive. Why don't you try that shit with the Russians?

Native Americans have had to fight tooth and nail to be able to continue our traditional way of life ,which in some tribes includes whale hunting, like it or not.

And calling Japanese people the J-word on this site? Burn any crosses lately at your local KKK rally?

[albinogoatman]

i hate how people think that japan is evil only for whaling they r not evil

[hellorak23]

So easy to sit back and be a critic. What are you doing to make this world a better place. I know what i do. There should be more People like Pete in this world.

[drkuroneko]

someone's hero is a criminal, who actually didn't accomplish anything, besides collecting donation money. I think that this country suffers from some sort of disorder.

[GAYTALLICA]

To bad he didn't get sucked under the Jap ship when they rammed his boat. I love watching him and his treehugging buddy's act all cool as the ship comes then boom hahahhahahah

[Doog01]

@GAYTALLICA whalehuggers not tree huggers : )

[hellorak23]

@drkuroneko..... Please find out all facts before you post. The man did die but it was a accident. The victims had no lights on there boat. It was too late to stop. They all felt terrible. Once again, the fisherman had NO lights of any kind on in the dead of night.

[Lisatjuuh12]

Pete you Rock!!!

[jaxx4nc]

Pete Bethune is a legend !!!

[Qadhahey]

@jaxx4nc

>Pete Bethune is a legend !!!

what kind of legend is he ?

Pete Bethune is legend of ramming !!

On the night of March 19, 2007, while around 22 kilometres (14 mi) offshore from

Guatemala, Earthrace collided with a local fishing boat.

search "Pete Bethune: serial idiot" "Earthrace chief in court over tragedy"

[jessanimal123]

I love you Pete!!!!

[MyMichele007]

WELCOME HOME PETE!! YOU ARE A HERO.. We need more people like him to stand up against the Japs and their whaling.

[lucnic99]

I WONDER IF WHEN HE GOT IN HIS VEHICLE 1:54 IF HE COULD OF GOT OUT OF THE MEDIA CUZ THEY WERE SURRONDING HIS CAR LOL

[drkuroneko]

Once a hero for idiots like sorryimsoidiot2, SSCS supporters are doing everything to discredits Bethune. Such a typical cult behaviour.

[KUROZUKA0083]

[狩猟(hunting)]で検索した事がありますか？

Is there a case that you searched by [hunting]?

肉(命)を主食にしていませんか？

Don't you eat meat (the life) as the staple food?

日本は欧米の文化を非難するつもりはありません。

Japan isn't going to blame European and American culture.

冷静に自身と自国を見て、考えて下さい。

Please see and think an own country with yourself calmly.

[tarafuku10]

Pete Bethune left Sea Sheperd, condemning it and the leader Paul Watson as dishonest and morally bankrupt. According to Pete, SS senior members routinely lie and conspire over the serious matters. Well done, Pete. Welcome back to the real world.

[EarthandNature]

The media like attacked him lol

[drkuroneko]

This kiwi idiot didn't mention in the court of justice the UN World Charter for Nature that the asshole's merrily friends are claiming to uphold. Oh, I see, he didn't want to be laughed at.

It just amazes me that stupid people below call this asshole a hero. As a matter of fact, he failed to grow up past five years old, abandoned his family, killed a fisherman, etc.

[piskekvist]

@drkuroneko Killed a fisherman? Please, do explain. Seems to me you are a bitter supporter of the extinction of whales and life in the sea in general. Pete Bethune is a real man, standing up against someone who does evil, and destroyed his ship on purpose. We have way to few of that type in the world.

[drkuroneko]

@piskekvist In 3/19/2007, EarthRace crashed into a fisherman's boat in Guatemala. One fisherman was killed and another seriously injured.

Nobody is supporting "the extinction of whales."

Bethune is a complete idiot in debt, who never cares about his family, and is a proven liar.

[cstar0701]

go pete

[IslandLifePete]

kiwi hero ! i was there to cheer him on and welcome him home

[skatersfriend]

I love this man he really haas gut...... No homo lmao ...... i really would have done the same thing.... i hope i get rich one day and i am able to say.... i was a part of Sea Shepherd and Pete Bethune was my hero.... i really wish i could help Pete and donate money to him :(

[Whales718]

Pete bethune rules you know i were him i would sue that captin

and they almost murdered him and his crew and rammed his

boat he has every right to board that ship and now they're crying

cause he stands up for himself, it's stupid whalers drive me nuts

[grcppc34]

2010 man of the year

[DontClickOurURL]

the Shonan Maru 2 is such an amazing ship used for such mean things.

[Sandra872971]

I wish more people would get informed, the biodiversity of the world is fading. If we lose the sea life it will eventually cause our own species to go extinct.

Using science as an excuse is not right, science does not destroy nature it embraces it.

There needs to be more people with the guts of Pete to stand up for the defenseless creatures of the world.

THANK YOU PETE, THANK YOU SEA SHEPHERD!

[MrHippogus]

dude ur the best so you didnt get aressted but did the japeneese whaling ships captain get in trouble?????

[blockscar]

[851995STARGATE]

[851995STARGATE]

[brasteen1]

@ILoveAnimals718 um didnt pete get kicked out of sea shepard im not sure

[viper8red]

@ILoveAnimals718 He just spent 4 months in prison you jaggoff! He's tired, wants to see his family, emotional, and happy to be home. Give the man a break you ineffectual arm-chair critique.

[ILoveAnimals718]

@viper8red uuuuum i'm on his side so um i dont know what your talking about

[lanks22]

He seems broken :'( stupid Japanese

[The88camaro]

Pete Bethune is a great man and should be treated as a hero. I'm glad that there are people in this world who will stand up to evil.

[xTeenSpirit93x]

@The88camaro Yes very evil indeed. Let's condemn a tradition a country has carried on for over a thousand years as evil. Even though our country and almost all other countries throughout the world also participated in this "evil" up into the last century as well. People like you make me laugh. I plan on eating whale when I take my vacation to Japan, have a nice day fuckstick. :D

[ednakano2010]

NZ ungraceful criminal guy lied in Japan and get suspended sentence and brame owen countires gorverment not waste tax to bribe Japanese court.

What a special hero.

[drkuroneko]

a liar.

[BeastlyGerman]

Fuck Sea Shephard for totally leaving this guy when he was arrested, Pete is a hero, not Paul.

[lukelemermania]

@BeastlyGerman hey FYI the shonan maru number two has more men than sea shepherd does total and people with rifles protecting it so what do u expect sea shepherd to do?

[legomaniac1346]

@BeastlyGerman he asked him not to

[nathanhegg]

that's good he's home, It appears the Japanese have broken his spirit though. NO more Ady Gil means the SeaShephards go back to old tactics that aren't as effective as the ady gil was for that short time.

[Haderlein]

147 views? This is an important story!!!!!!!! Thanks for filiming it nzheraldtv!!! Who was the one with the furry microphone in front of pete's face the whole interview? Blocked a lot of his face.

[headlessrd]

Absolutely a National Hero.

I fully support Keith's comments.

[orangeorange1314]

national hero to nz, international terrorist to japan.

[sorryimsogreat2]

National hero man. Damn good day.

[MATUSOWNED]

@sorryimsogreat2 Cheers ! I agree COMPLETELY ;D

[smurah17]

@sorryimsogreat2 VERY TRUE....WORLD HERO EVEN AND YES, GOOD DAY AND WELL DONE!!

[bj4rt1]

@sorryimsogreat2 national hero my ass! these idiots from the Sea shepherd are a couple of assholes.!!

[sorryimsogreat2]

@bj4rt1

Is that why they have a four star charity organization rating. 4/4 sounds pretty good to me.
