Greenpeace shot video of the first haul of fin whales in Iceland under that country's quota allowing up to 150 such whales to be killed this year, along with 100 minke whales. The group is pressing the new government there to cancel the hunt, which was sanctioned by the government that collapsed in January.

  • @Nonamesleft3000 Shut fuck up RETARDED PEDOPHILE YOU'RE NOT ENDANGERED SO I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.

  • @wiccanmoonman Sea Sheperds = Morons. None of the whales wich is beeing hunted by japaneese, norwegian or icelandish vessels is under any threat of extermination. There are strict qoutas and policys preventing any such scenario. Why dont they try helping some species in need of help, or is it perhaps roaming the sea while acting like fucking cowboys that is their cause? Why so many pepole think its wrong to eat whale, i'll never understand. Theese mammals has been hunted for centuries.

  • why dont they just ask for some pictures, this isn't a secret.

  • fdps inutius mataram um animal desses retardas

  • @girls6boys1 I hate both of them. Greenpeace just wants the government to regulate everything like hunting for food. Soon or later, greenpeace will bitch and moan about hunting everything and saying it is illegal to hunt whales. Sea Shepherd is just a money whore. Fishing is probably the most labor intense job out there. Fishermen work harder than any of us do, so please give them courtesy and don't piss them off. They have no time for stupid shit greenpeace and sea shepherd say.

  • @girls6boys1...There isn't much random about my "readings". I despise Sea Shepherd, but not for all the reasons you might think AND I am in favor of sustainable whaling. If disagreeing with me makes you feel like "a big bully", that's okay with me. I am completely in different opinions but I am secure in my own because I didn't just arrive at it yesterday and without any consideration.

  • @The6sicksikhs Yes, because what you all had to say was just so idiotic, even I, a person who would rather stand to the side line and just frown for a moment as I am forced to face man's reality of intellect, to comment. Blow off some steam, per-say.

    Your argument is as useful as a drunken hic's, supported by nothing but random readings with NO backings of any study "you'd" ever bother to read.

    So, because anything I write will process in your brain as "he's a big bully!"

    Stfu

  • @girls6boys1...Okay, sleep tight, you grim-faced bastard. You seem to look down on EVERYONE engaged in this dumb argument and I like that. It's nice to have ideals, but ideals don't taste nearly as good as a piece of meat slathered in ketchup. That's life in the food chain. The world would survive without whales. 90% of ALL species to ever grace the planet are extinct. And yet here the rest of us are. This shit happens. Pollution is a bigger threat to whales than hunting.

  • @WhiteGangster400 Just using you.

    To all who read this, I ask to you now, as I see a majority support this 'sea shepherd' crap, and spit on Greenpeace... Why? Greenpeace plays the political game ALL over the world, they win MORE change through their actions, than Sea Shepherd ever has/will. Yet some men in shiny boats come charging in on the toes of generation old Greenpeace who protects ALL of nature and claim better when all sea shepherd can do is piss some people off

    Why?

  • @The6sicksikhs @The6sicksihks @The vast majority of you

    Before I sleep, I look grimly upon these comments, grimly upon my fellow man, and sicken at the thought I share specie to this. I gag on the stupidity that is man, to sh.t on the one home we are given, the one. Even a f.cking dog will crap in a corner before it does around its home, a DOG. Who EATS sh.t. Forget your own petty, useless, MEANINGLESS fights, that if went unattended, NOTHING would happen. THIS sh.t, HAPPENS.
