Bob Barker Moves In on the Japanese Whaling Fleet in French Antarctic Waters

At 04.00 am (AEAT) on Wednesday January 4th, the Bob Barker moved in amongst the Japanese whaling fleet 190 miles North of the French Antarctic base of Dumont D'Urville.

While on the look out for the Japanese factory ship the Nisshin Maru, the Bob Barker ran into one of the three harpoon vessels, the Yushin Maru 3. It appears that the Yushin Maru 3 has not begun whaling activities as its harpoon is still covered.

The whaling fleet has been desperately trying to avoid being caught by Sea Shepherd detection and has fled over 1500 miles to the Southeast of where they were first detected by a drone reconnaissance deployed by the Steve Irwin.

The Bob Barker continues to travel East in pursuit of the Japanese factory ship, now followed at close range by the Yushin Maru 3. The whaling fleet has left the French EEZ and are now in Australian Antarctic waters. Sea Shepherd can confirm that the Japanese whaling fleet is now in Australian Antarctic Territorial waters.

The Steve Irwin and the Brigitte Bardot continue to make progress towards Fremantle with the Shonan Maru #2 tailing both vessels. The Shonan Maru #2 is now 65 miles inside the Australian continental Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ).

Because the Nisshin Maru and the harpoon vessels have been moving continuously since first located by Sea Shepherd, they do not appear to have had any time to kill whales. They know that if they slow down or stop the Bob Barker will close the gap and will be on them.

The Steve Irwin will quickly refuel in Fremantle and will return to the Southern Ocean to assist the Bob Barker in intervening against the illegal activities of the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary inside Australian Antarctic Territorial waters.

  • @BBallinManiac PS .. No one is asking you pricks to be the worlds Police Force. You do it because you are THUGS and want to push other races around ... Ya threating to attack Iran over their NUKE program yet you support the jewish pigs with NUKES .. the jews are a bigger threat to world peace!

    And I spend 7 years of my life in the Australian Military .. so do not tell me about military life.

  • @BBallinManiac Learn to READ, I am an AUSTRALIAN living in Japan. ALSO shit for brains, the US provoked Japan in to attacking it, so Germany would declare war on the US & the US could enter the war in Europe, because the US public at the time did NOT want to be part of the Europe War. How about you learn the fucken truth, before you open ya fat trap.

    SS Australian, Greens MP Bob Brown & the Australian PM get nice Emails from me & videos of my WHALES MEAT cooking, so they do get bashed!

  • @TatsushigeJapan There's also Sea Shepherd Australia, Sea Shepherd UK, and ORCA Force. Plus the Netherlands is also a huge supporter of Sea Shepherd. I don't see you bashing those countries as much as I see you bashing us. You have no idea what it's like to be in the US military, the global police force. What has your good for nothing military done besides bomb pearl harbor?

    I am Japanese Write me easy sentence, so I can understand better.

    Anyway I hope we should not hate each other because of this .

    We should respect each other and be friend.

    I think Watson has the most responsibility.

    Why Mr Watson is hiding? He should not hide because he is the leader of SS.

    He must come out and speak his ideas in front of people all over the world.

    If he think he is doing the right thing.
