Bob Barker Rammed by Illegal Whaler
At 1209 PM Fremantle, Australia time, the Yushin Maru 3 intentionally rammed the Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker, penetrating it's hull and endangering the lives of it¹s crew. The collision occurred at 65 degrees 21 South, 67 degrees 58 East, about 180 miles off Cape Darnley in the Australian Antarctic Territory.

The Bob Barker had been actively blocking the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, the Japanese whaling fleets factory ship when the collision occurred. Four harpoon ships, the Yushin Maru 1, 2, and 3 and Shonan Maru 2, were circling and making near passes to the stern and bow of the Sea Shepherd vessel. The Bob Barker did not move from its position. At which point, the Yushin Maru 3 intentionally rammed the Bob Barker, creating a 3-foot long 4-inch deep gash in the mid starboard side of the Sea Shepherd vessel above the waterline.

No crew was injured during the collision. The Bob Barker continues to block the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, preventing the transfer of slaughtered whales and effectively shutting down illegal whaling operations.

The incident demonstrates a continued escalation of violence by the illegal whalers in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

Said Captain Paul Watson from the bridge of the Steve Irwin, currently en route to join the action, Because the whalers got away basically scot-free with the outrageous sinking of the Ady Gil, they now apparently think they can do whatever they want and they appear to have no qualms about endangering Sea Shepherd crew. What we really need is for the governments of Australia and New Zealand to step up and start enforcing maritime laws in these waters, or who know what the whalers will do next. Australian and New Zealand lives are at risk every day in these waters."

Losers everywhere today lol

Well I'm not sure on this one. What is the Sea Shepard doing?

It looks to me like they are closing on the Research ship in which case they are in the wrong.

The only other reason is that the research vessel made it look like the sea shepherd was closing on them but really it's the other way round. It's a bit hard to tell, There is a video that show the sea shepherd purposely cross the bow of the research ship from portside which is not done.

Research Ship!!!! hahahahha love your choice of Words

Idiot Wake Up !!!

Its a Japanese Whaling ship "

[gleegirloz]

Researching the McWhale burgers? This is utterly contemptious and I'm sick of the Japanese piracy in our waters!Wake up people and governments get some balls!

[kaycorey1]

@WeLoveAlexJones ya. if they really are doing research on the whales, they should of stoped there hunts years ago. all they really need is about 50 whales. if they are doing reserch, that is. its pretty obvious that there not doing research

[JewishRomanCatholic]

The Sea Shepherds are deliberately ramming their boats into the Japenese ships and the Sea Shepherds are committing terroristic acts. The Sea Shepherds are mainly doing this for publicity and it is clear that the Sea Shepherds are frauds.

@rshurack Very true, I wouldn't of noticed.

@WeLoveAlexJones

It doesn't matter WHAT type of boat it is, the rules of the sea still apply

@WeLoveAlexJones

I LOVE WHALE MEAT!!!! TASTE FUCKING GREAT!!! Especially on wheat bread with some mayonaise. XD

[brncarlisle713]

They could at least be honest about it. But instead they print RESEARCH on their ships. Whale meat is in fact a multimillion dollar industry.

[CRAZYASSCRACKERWOOD]

Sea shepards are liars and scam artist and need to be put on the terrorist list for the acts of violence and interruption of commerce to a industry

[bigmeezo]

i say harpoon the whaling ship and drag it on board, dismantle it and throw away the scraps. Irony at it's finest.

[rshurack]

Let me say that i am not pro-whaling but the Sea Shepherds constantly make fools of themselves. It is amazing how people will believe words over their own eyes. If you look at the Japanese ship in the background, you can obviously tell as it disappears that the Sea Shepherd is turning to the right (starboard). If they were staying their course, the boat would not have disappeared to the left. They obviously were not trying to avoid or the boat in the background would become more visible.

I think the yushim maru ought to throw whale meat at the pussies throwing butter!
