Sea Shepherd Will Oppose Japanese Whalers Alone
Greenpeace Surrenders To The Japanese Whaling Fleet
Greenpeace has officially announced in a media release from Tokyo that they will not be sending a ship to the Southern Oceans to oppose whaling by the Japanese Whaling fleet. This means that the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society will be alone in its high seas opposition to illegal Japanese whaling operations when the whaling season opens in a month.

"As a Greenpeace co-founder, I am deeply offended that Greenpeace has been raising millions of dollars in the name of defending whales all year and now two weeks before the Japanese whaling fleet is scheduled to depart, they announce they will not be going," said Captain Paul Watson, President and Founder of Sea Shepherd. "In my opinion they collected funds under false pretenses and now they have abandoned the whales. Shame on them."

The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin is scheduled to depart from Australia at the end of November on Sea Shepherd's fifth voyage to obstruct and intervene against outlaw pirate whaling activities in the Antarctic Southern Oceans Whale Sanctuary. Due to Sea Shepherd's interventions in its past campaigns, hundreds of whales have been saved in Antarctica.

Sea Shepherd's Executive Director Kim McCoy said, "Sea Shepherd will never retreat and we will never surrender until the outlaw whalers are driven out of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary for good."

Last week, Greenpeace Australia spokesperson Steve Shallhorn announced that Greenpeace would be sending a ship to Antarctic waters. The same day Japan announced that they would be sending a Japanese Coast Guard gunboat to defend the whaling fleet. It appears that the Japanese government has successfully frightened Greenpeace away this year.

"They can send the entire Japanese Navy down to the Southern Ocean if they like, but Sea Shepherd and the crew of the Steve Irwin will not be intimidated by this kind of brutal military thuggery. When we say we put our lives on the line to defend the whales, we mean it. It's not just a slogan for us," said Captain Watson. "I have not seen a whale die since I left Greenpeace in 1977 and I have no intention of seeing a whale die this year. They don't kill whales when we show up and they won't kill whales when we arrive again this year. They will have to sink us first."

Hey come on my friend. Japanese people are good people. I have tons of friends like them and they do no harm to me. Yes, I know! I disagree with what they are doing. But that is just those stupid japanese whalers. Not japanese people in general. KILL THOSE WHALERS!!

[what77777]

@NRPBrute Uh my question is why don't the Norwegians and Icelanders get any hate, not why the Japanese get hate for it. Go back to school and learn to read bud!

[NRPBrute]

@what77777 Racism. That's it. Racism. That is why the Japanese catch shit for killing whales.

[NRPBrute]

@babysgottheblues Riiiight. Tough words from a youtuber.

[NRPBrute]

@mastaJedi420 I assume you mean that "god" will punish the Japanese with a tsunami. Well, how will "God" punish the US for it's imperialism and unjust wars?

[NRPBrute]

Shame that these chumps will never save as many whales as Rockefeller did.

@mastaJedi420 >whales are so peaceful....God will punish them with another tsunami ←　Then Tsunami Must Assault Also ALASKA Canada Korea Phil Indonesia Norway Iceland Faroe Greenland Russia Grenada St.Vincent and St.Lucia.

Why Huge Earthquake Assaulted Non-Whaling Haiti, NZ, China, Italy, California, Thai etc etc？

Peaceful？　Then Why GreenPees, Aussie Kevin Red and USA CAN Support Whaling by Alaskan Eskimo WHILE Opposing Non-Alaskan 3 EskimoS' Whaling？　Only Alaskan Whales are Barbaric？:))

[mastaJedi420]

whales are so peaceful....God will punish them with another tsunami

[NWA90s]

sea shepards are a bunch of fags, if they really love whales they should go to japan and sabotage their whaling deck

[babysgottheblues]

Well if someone fired a bullet at me on my ship, or intentionally aimed their large ship directly at my small ship I wouldn't hesitate to put an RPG directly into the bridge.

Wonder what whale tastes like? I'll bet its pretty good.
