NYC protest for Sea Shepherd activist hostages - 1-16-08 pt1

Activists braved the cold of New York City today to protest yesterday's kidnapping of Giles Lane and Benjamin Potts by an illegal Japanese whaling ship.

The duo are currently being held hostage on the ship, and demonstrations and protests at Japanese embassies and consulates across the globe are being held in solidarity with the Sea Shepherd crew.

Japan, we demand you stop the bloody slaughter of innocent whales and dolphins and return the kidnapped activists IMMEDIATELY without harm!

Did you see this video?

You can see the activists enjoying a chat with Japanese whalers. They requested some TEMPURA, Japanese delicacy, for their supper. Actually, these activists had some spare clothes in their backpack too. They obviously wanted to stay on the Japanese ship!

What does them eating tempura have to do with anything?

I order veggie tempura from the place down the street all the time - so what?

1994: Sea Shepherd loses observer status at the International Whaling Commission. IWC

Secretary, Ray Gambell, declares that the IWC and all its member states ardently condemn Sea

Shepherd's acts of terrorism.

[kaizokutarou]

Under Article 8 of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, signatories are allowed to conduct scientific whaling and are obligated to process killed whales to the fullest extent possible.

under the international law Antarctic Ocean is not Australia territory

@heroesandcons09

wow, the only fucking jackasses i know are people who thinks that chucking buytric acid (rotten butter) at japanese whalers is going to make a difference and stop them from whaling.....and just about anyone who actually took the time responding to a fucking comment i made two years ago!

[heroesandcons09]

@hellofaname in essence butyric acid is rotten butter seriously you fucking jackass compared to the japanese whalers who came at them with water canons air riffles some form of pepper spray (japanese whalers neither conformed nor denied what chemical they used)

[LeLionNoire]

Shepherds are a bunch of clowns

[sorryimsogreat2]

Sea Shepherd has never harmed a single Japanese individual. Japans gov. is showing complete and utter disrespect to the rest of the world because it has no respect for the rest of the world.

These protesters are supporting terrorism.

I thought Americans above all would be against terrorism, but i guess it's now okay to bomb America because I am opposed to their harvesting of cows~ amirite? lets take radical logic and bend it

and for you dumb people, i mean that the SSCS are assaulting Japanese whalers because they are opposed to their culture, Which justifies cultural bombings on USA because if it is acceptable for America to attack Japan over culture, i challenge US Imperialism

@axe863 Hey Axe to bloody right mate, re thier lies about threats etc, the funny thing is if the chows wanted to throw the druggos in the piss, then thats where they would be.

[Kerbinpro]

Sort of funny really, think about it, if the japs tried to throw them into the piss, what chance have 2 druggo dole bludgers have against a stack of chow sailors who have worked most of thier lives. Still its a pity the 2 Mull heads were not thrown back in. Its a pity to that the Sea Psychco captain does not try to protect the Candian Fur Seal slaughter in his own patch

[drkuroneko1]

These two idiots in the photographs illegally boarded a Japanese ship. Japan could have shot them, but instead, fed/treated them well. And this video shows what SSCS is all about. Shame on you, all the SSCS supporting idiots.

[littlefred811]

I agree with the protesters. Release them immediately, right back into the water that they were taken in, and let them swim home.
