Re: Sea Shepherd update 13.09.08 at end of thread. 09/06/2008 Loyola, We’ll Miss Ya B’ye Commentary by Captain Paul Watson Founder and President of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Lord t’undering Jeesus, b’eye what cha’ doing callin ' it quits? There still be swiles out d’ere needin’ killin’ me son.”* Canadian Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Loyola Hearn has announced he is not going to be running again for re-election in October. He’s stepping down, calling it quits. He’s got his time in to collect his government pension so it’s on the dole for Loyola. Bad news for seals, I’m afraid. Loyola Hearn could always be counted on to open his mouth wide and to jam his smelly big foot firmly down his throat. His shoot media releases from the hip without thinking approach made him look like a total outport goofball half the time. Oh well, I’m sure we’ll get another troglodyte apologist for whacking baby seals over the head and skinning them alive. It’s also amusing that Loyola Hearn is now feuding with Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams. This is the same clown who maintains that he was responsible for breaking up Paul and Heather McCartney. Yes sir Dano; you’re the man, a legend in your own mind, a master of self delusion. The last time I spoke with Heather she thought you were simply amusing and a little full of yourself. Paul just dismissed you as another politico whore. In a recent interview in St. John’s, Williams said, "The one thing that my cabinet ministers have done throughout is stood up for their constituents, for the electorate and the people they were elected to represent and they have done that. And it's unfortunate in the last few years that Loyola hasn't done the same thing," Williams was reacting to comments Hearn made on a public call-in show after his Thursday announcement that he would not be running again where he called the premier a dictator and accused him of being "as gutless as a capelin." "As well, if anyone would recognize a dictator he certainly worked for one, so he'd know a dictator I can guarantee ya," Williams said. So Williams thinks that Loyola did not go far enough in his over the top defense of the seal hunt. Danny is proud of the fact that his Newfie boys love to skin baby seals alive. He thought Loyola was getting a touch too faggoty in trying to justify the slaughter as humane. Apparently Loyola does not share Danny’s sadistic extremism. Loyola likes to see baby seals killed but Danny likes to see ‘em killed slowly. From what I can see that’s the only difference between the two Newfie butchers. I love that Hearn called Williams “as gutless as a capelin.” How can this guy be the Minister of Fisheries and be ignorant of the fact that capelin have internal organs and a digestive system? And it is great that a Canadian Premier has actually called the Prime Minister of Canada – a Dictator! That gives credibility to the voice of many Canadians who whole heartedly agree. Fuhrer Harper must be quaking in his boots in fear that he loses the support of Newfoundlanders. I hope he does lose their support, and then if re-elected he won’t be so inclined to kiss the salty asses of Newfoundland sealers. But it will be our bad luck that the Liberals will win and if the Newfoundland seats are a factor they will simply replace Conservative Party lips on the posteriors of the barbarians. Meanwhile our ship Farley Mowat continues to be a guest of the Port of Sydney with the government spending about $4,000 a day to guard it so we can’t slink into port and steal her back. Perhaps we’ll see Loyola next year at the trial when we subpoena him to explain his blatant act of high seas piracy in attacking a Dutch ship in international waters. Ohh, I can’t wait to see the veins bulging from his redneck again as he justifies the defense of the largest butchery of marine mammals on the planet. We are so looking forward to that – clowns like Loyola are rare and his act is unique. Meanwhile we’ll sit back with some popcorn and watch the mud-slinging between Hearn and Williams as the Canadian Federal election gears up with the usual suspects promising the usual drivel that they have no intention of delivering. We saw it with Kevin Rudd whose promises in Australia dissipated after the election and we are seeing the same nonsense as the Republicrats and the Demopublicans battle it out with false promises firing like shotguns into the gullible minds of the electorate. Anyhow, we won’t have Loyola Hearn around to laugh at any more! Gee, that's too bad. With luck they'll put another goofy Newfie Fisheries bureaucrat into the office to carry on the tradition of barbarism and idiocy every spring on the cruel ice floes where they slaughter the innocent without remorse or pity. But hopefully the ban on seal pelts in Europe will bring mercy to the ice. (*apologies for the Newfie dialect, being a Maritimer I don’t gets ta use it that often.)

Operation Musashi has thus far been incredibly successful in opposing illegal whaling activities and has saved the lives of many whales. We estimate we will arrive in Hobart, Tasmania, on January 17th, rough seas permitting. We will refuel and reprovision so that we can return to the killing zone as quickly as possible and attempt to shut down the illegal slaughter once and for all. Japanese Whalers Sacrifice Honour in Attempt to Demonize Sea Shepherd Hajime Shirasaki, a 30 year old oiler from the Japanese whale spotting vessel Kyoshin Maru No. 2 disappeared on January 5th and was presumed lost. The Steve Irwin notified the Japanese fleet by marine VHF radio in English and in Japanese that they were there to provide assistance and especially to provide a helicopter search of the area, after contacting New Zealand Search and Rescue. The Yushin Maru No. 3 replied in Japanese that they did not want any help from an "eco-terrorist" organization. Captain Watson specifically relayed the message that the Steve Irwin was not there to harass but to assist in the search and had no intention of continuing to oppose illegal Japanese whaling activities until the search was called off.

Sea Shepherd crew were able to document the extensive measures taken on the Yushin Maru No. 3 on January 7th. "It really is quite amazing," said Captain Watson. "The effort and expense that has gone into preventing us from boarding is ambitious. The ships can literally cover themselves with a net that can be deployed like a shower curtain around the vessel. Large fenders and sharp spikes protrude from the sides of the ship. It looks very formidable and very expensive."

The Yushin Maru No. 2 left the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary on December 20th, 2008. They suffered ice damage to their prop while being pursued by the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin.

Re: Sea Shepherd update 14.01.09 at end of thread. hey GERMS nice to see I'm not all alone on this board. I am vegan, and its not really that hard, I just finished eating a (soy)Cheese pizza w/ tomatoes and black olives, I eat cereal everyday with soymilk, its just habit. But I applaud anyone that is vegetarian, or heck even cares enough to buy free range eggs, meat, etc. I lived in Japan, and it baffles me that a country that has history with vegetarianism through buddhism, knows so little about animal rights. Any vegetarian recipes from Japanese history have been long since forgotten by mainstream Japanese culture. And man do the Japanese women LOVE to wear fur, it also baffles me that it was so taboo in the US, and now its becoming trendy again. Come on, fur in Las Vegas? It's not the freaking artic!! Buy a sweatshirt you hag! edit: As it becomes less marketable it will die, if they really wanna make an impact...they need to do what PETA does in the US...get Japanese "stars" to run campaigns to stop eating whale/dolphin meat.

Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Emergency Update: From the Frontlines of the Whale Wars Dear, Our vessels and crews and have been ATTACKED! Lives have been threatened. A vessel has been destroyed. This day will go down in infamy. We will not give up. We will not retreat. We will not surrender to those who want to do harm. We need your support today now more than ever. Earlier today, our vessel the Ady Gil was severely damaged and almost sunk in a vicious and unprovoked attacked by a Japanese whaling harpoon vessel many times its size. The crew barely escaped with their lives and were rescued by our newest vessel the Bob Barker. There is a battle between "David and Goliath." The illegal Japanese whalers are trying to physically harm and financially destroy your nonprofit whale defenders -- the Sea Shepherds. Show the whalers and the government of Japan that they cannot get away with this. As I write, my valiant crews remain at sea, vigilant in their pursuit to stop the whalers. Our defense of the whales needs to continue in the Southern Oceans. We are their only hope. Sea Shepherd is the only organization in the world directly intervening to save these magnificent and innocent beings but we cannot do it without you.

Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Don't they do everything they can to harrass and stop the fishing ships? Stink bombs, ropes in the propellers, etc, etc... http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/2 ... b=featured
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Video is up on youtube and boy is it a hoot! I like how they continue to hit them with the waterguns even after they just ran them over.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. I'm sorry, but....That show is friggin hilarious. Everything they try fails. Hope this is on next season.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. lol, It's def' a warts n all look at the operation. So many cock ups. Capt Paul Watson definately aint your typical hollywood portrayal of what a Captain should be or do. Often leaving upto other people to decide what to do..strange. But somewhere under all that muddlement is the resolve of a warrior. I dont know if you could say everything the do as a failure either, hell they probably drove that boat under the ship for publicity and its working atleast in the Aussie press. SeaShepherd know that sensation rates in mainstream media. You know how it goes, any publicity is good publicity.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Krudler posted this in another thread about Koji's effort to raise some funds for the SeaShepherd fight. Firstly thanks for the link Krudler, putting light on events is always a good thing. Though I disagree with his comments about the "whinning" and publicity stunts. I just read the article and I like to say that to me it only shows "creative accounting" while it points towards some hard to understand tax issues It doesnt really show anything unsavoury. (my tax knowlege isnt great) I cant help but feel that the dude who wrote it was seriously smarting from being called an idiot by Paul Watson. And in all his weasleyness went out to dig up anything he can about Paul Watson (bwhaha Ill git you!) I mean what i tiraid Some citizens of the U.S. and Canada have contributed to this group. These people, along with the governments of both nations and in particular the government of Newfoundland and Labrador, which has long been the target of the Society’s activities, should be more than interested in getting answers and in requesting that the IRS investigate these matters fully. as you guys say...what a douche. Krudler, I find it hard to believe that a real supporter of SeaShepherds work would quickly dismiss what they do so hastily. As to you asking " Why doesn't SS actually stop whalers" I would say they do. Short of sinking the whaling fleet (which Im sure he would do if he could get away with it) They harass the fleet which stops them killing whales. Better than greenpeace boating around with placards. I think the main issue is a question of all monies going towards the cause. (This is always hard to answer but shouldnt be) One has every reason to be concerned that the money they donate to any cause goes towards the cause. And it looks like the money given to seashepherd is doing more than most organisations.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. In all honesty I don't read anything written by SS Kool Aid drinkers, you guy's are too much like Bushies to have any respect for at all. Even quickly skimming's an effort, might as well be talking to a Moonie/Bushie/random cultist. The fake shooting, followed by lie after lie after lie (caught on camera) tend to let one know they've been subject to misinformation. Try your hand at throwing some Butyric Acid at US Eskimos who are whaling, if you don't you are complete and total hypocrites not to mention cowards of the highest order.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. There was video of the collision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy0VqVcsduk
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Why would a speed boat accelerate into or anywhere near a whaling vessel? If its to prop foul or throw chemicals the speed boat got too close on purpose. Any bonehead knows you don't get close to a big vessel while driving a speed boat because they can't see you, aren't as maneuverable, and can't avoid collision. Speed boats only get "rammed" by much larger vessels if they want to get rammed or the driver's in a coma. Even drunkards usually aren't that foolish. Publicity stunt pure and simple. Anyone in the military other than JFK (connected beyond connected) would have been court martialed for the PT 109 incident for example. He was passed out drunk according to some. Lets see SSCS do something about the US Eskimo's whaling, ignoring it is cowardly, and hypocritical. The whale's suffering is substantially worse in those kills. Why aren't the whale's targeted by US Eskimo's entitled to have the SSCS bumbling about on their behalf?
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Better question, how pissed is Bruce Wayne going to be when they return the speed boat in that condition?
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Supposedly it was invisible to radar, also the speed boat crew was trying to blind the Japanese with lazers. Uhm maybe the Captain was blinded or the radar didn't see the speedboat. SSCS technology working as intended. SSCS PLEASE STOP THE US ESKIMOS FROM TAKING WHALES OR QUIT CLAIMING TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN COWARDS!!!!!!! I hear they feed people in US Federal Prison, so Paul can stay immense, there's a Somalian there he might get along with. Best part is they claimed it sunk but it was actually still afloat, leaking diesel fuel into the pristine ocean for the win. Greenpeace is a real environmentalist group, they have my support.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Doesn't look too stealthy. This is what radar-invisible ships are supposed to look like: http://www.solarnavigator.net/stealth_ship.htm This is not their message board. Have you emailed them? ;p
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. SSCS said it was invisible to radar. I don't believe them but they were making that claim. SSCS ignores anyone who isn't an SSCS cultist. Go to their boards, I defy you to find an anti SSCS poster on there that hasn't been banned or moderated. We have Germs here so was hoping he'd pass on the request. Has he accused me of being paid by the Japanese to post yet? I'll only quickly skim posts by SSCS parrots since all SSCS disinformation is from the same playbook: lies, usually some personal insults, ignore facts, make up facts, accuse anyone who dislikes overuse of fossil fuel or hypocrisy of being paid Japanese agents, then more lies. The Japanese are much too polite with these buffoons. SSCS call themselves "warriors" but real warriors don't exclusively pick fights with those they know won't hit back hard. Nor do warriors cry when their tactics are used against them, SSCS has no stomach for a real fight. The US Navy or Coast Guard will get involved if SSCS starts on US Eskimos and Paul Watson will disappear into the Federal System. SSCS are hypocrites and cowards if they only pick on the Japanese whalers when other whalers are even less humane. Find out if your leader has a real backbone Germs and see if he'll try to disrupt whaling by US Eskimos through hurling acid or prop fouling attempts.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. All this focus on the Japanese whaling fleet is good, but is anything being done about Norway? Aren't they still whaling too?
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. If you drive a boat that small into the path of a boat that big, YOU are the asshat. * I do not eat whales nor endorse the killing of them.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Hey Harmond, SSCS doesn't seem to be very worried about Norwegian Whaling at the moment. Apparently the Norwegians aren't quite as friendly as the Japanese. Germs might be able to explain the SSCS party line as to why these "warriors" decided to focus on a different group of Whalers. I'm not sure what SSCS' excuse for bailing from that front of their "war" is. I think its hypocrisy with a hefty dose of cowardice.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. 'dur dur, take me to your leader' Dude I dont want to take too much time replying because well i dont like typing its mostly why i just cut n paste the seashepherd newsletter/ PROPAGANDA!!!! The other reason is Im really just a passive observer not a fully fledged PARROT and I'll prob forget most of what you said by the time Im done typing so I'll be short. He's not my leader. I get an email from them and I post it here so people can read it. (yeah I do like what they are doing) As far as the eskimo thing, yeah he prob should be chucking buytric acid at them too but like you said if he did the feds would up his arse and what good would he be then, prob cowardly, whatever, anyway, cruel or not the eskimos dont have heaps o big ships do they? If they are "hippocrites and liars" I prefer their form. About the norway whaliing I read somewhere that they got up there too. One of the seashepherds ships was confiscated by the Norweigen government, not sure if they got it back.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Norway just increased its whaling quota by 30%, oh wait that was in 2006. Where's SSCS? News just in: SSCS still gutless, cowardly, liars. So SSCS won't attack US Whaling and Norwegian Whaling's not confronted anymore either? Both because the respective countries took (or will take) real action against these "brave warriors"? Japanese Whalers are the target precisely because they refuse to fight back in any real way.
Re: Sea Shepherd boat attacked 07.01.10 at end of thread. Maybe getting their ship confiscated was a stunt so norway would increase its quota and seashepherd could keep getting more money.
