What You Can Do To Help

The whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru has been crippled by an accidental fire and is currently without engine power in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Oil and fuel aboard the ship presents an unacceptable risk to the pristine Antarctic environment, and the ice and weather are closing in.

The Greenpeace ship, Esperanza, has offered to tow the Nisshin Maru to safety. The Esperanza was constructed as a fire-fighting vessel and has towing capabilities. Her captain has ten years experience on a salvage tug.

Bureaucrats in Tokyo have rejected Greenpeace's offers of assistance, despite pressure from the New Zealand government and Japan's obligations under the Antarctic Treaty to accept help.

Please ask the Japanese Environment Minister to do the right thing for the crew of the Nisshin Maru and the Antarctic environment: don't wait for the situation to worsen. Accept Greenpeace's offer to tow the ship.

Do the right thing; drain the ship of its fuel, sink the ship, and kill the crew.

[EyesOnlyWorld]

but the ship its self would be harmful to the environment with all the chemicals and materials on board so sinking it wouldn't be a good idea i think a better idea would be drain the ship of the fuel then leave the crew on the ship when there cold n hungry enough they will want a tow.

Japan refuses to stop the whale hunt. We have written several letters throughout the years urging them to stop the whale hunt. The Japanese government wrote back to us with excuses. I am very worried. There are so many threats including noise pollution and high intensity active sonar.

Well all we can do is keep trying they will have to listen eventually

We need to take Paul Watsons example and get out there and physically stop these bastards from doing what they are doing. Personally, I'm up for some Metal Gear Solid type shit, boarding the whaling vessels and shooting the captain, then taking control of the ship and sailing it back to Japan, sinking it in one of their harbours... Anyone else interested? We need guns, boats and people with balls...

When a whalers boat is in distress Greenpeace offer to help...when a Greenpeace boat is in distress the whalers try and sink it (okay okay it isnt always the case and while I believe whaling is wrong, especially the way Japan does it it doesnt justify either party trying to cripple and damage each others ships and endager livers and the environment)
