Would they even know the difference between a green laser and a red laser.

Not to mention - Why the heck are they shooting lasers at whales in the FIRST place?


They are not shooting them at the whales. They are shooting them at the Japanese crew. The green lasers are designed to fry out the human eye. Our eyes process green light better than any other color. Hence the reason that the green lasers in question are illegal to possess in Australia where the Andy Gil sailed from.

SCREW RESEARCH! WTF is wrong with fishing for whales and not wrong for fishing for catfish? Some of you people need a life and the realization the ‘Humpy the Whale’ isn’t going to bring your a goodie in your dreams tonight.

It’s like the contention that we’re ‘using up’ all the water; where the hell do you think it’s going?

Ady Gil has been sunk! Yeah! Bastards. They were nothing but pirates of a different kind and assaulted the Japenese sailors.

What is your point? Must we all be Vegans? And then there will be the same freaks and other socialists demanding that we neither kill nor consume anything that can be defined by someone as living or formerly living. Save The Whales is not different from Save The Deer or Save The Cockroaches.

I think the laser is specifically to blind the helmsman. Use should bring Japanese Self Defense Force aircraft out to destroy the pirate vessel. And yes, the whaling ships should be armed, at least with mounted RPG weapons or the like.

They are vigilantes standing up against illegal whaling and protecting the whales. They actually PREVENT whales from being killed as well as reducing the profits of the whaling industry. Just because these people are liberal loons, doesn't mean that what they are trying to do isn't justified.

Do you guys support the Somali pirates as entrepreneurs?

Would you care more if they were killing (cute) Polar Bears?

I support these liberals. They are not trying to harm anyone. They are trying and succeeding to some extent in saving helpless endangered animals from being slaughtered under the false pretense of “research”.

Do any of you critics ever watch their TV show? It is a wonder that these idiots survive each episode, but they believe in what they are doing. I respect them for that, and agree with their goal of stopping the illegal Japanese whaling operation

Actually, about a year ago we had a spate of this. Probably the last fishing season.
What was shown was an expose on whale meat in Japanese markets and the lack of published science.

If you care enough, really, you can research it.

Illegal according to the UN. Having the UNophiles aboard proves FR’s diversity credentials, I guess.

So all international law is bad?
So it is OK for Japanese trawlers to rape the fishing grounds off the US coast?
Just checking.

My point is clear.
If you don't like it, that's your problem.
The Japanese are lying. They are commercial whaling.
The eco freaks are pirates and do more damage than good.

The Vegan thing is your straw man. So is the rest of your post.

Look, it is simple. Manage the resources. Overfishing/underfishing/overregulation/underregulation whether it is forrest land, tuna stocks, crab, ranching, etc. causes problems.

Perhaps you want unregulated fishing of American waters by third world countries. Perhaps you don't care if whale populations crash. Perhaps you don't care about tuna or fresh water fish either. If so, well, what can I say?

The post said a pox on both their houses. How you twist it from there, is your choice.

I watch the show all the time. What a cluster of dumbasses.

I also do not care if the Japanese want to eat whales & club baby seals.

“According to eyewitness Captain Chuck Swift on the Bob Barker, the attack happened while the vessels were dead in the water. The Shonan Maru No. 2 suddenly started up and deliberately rammed the Ady Gil ripping eight feet of the bow of the vessel completely off. According to Captain Swift, the vessel does not look like it will be saved.”

So much for the little boat ramming the big boat

We’re seeing the creepy legacy of the families of globalist, UN-hugging free traitors: the harassments, overpopulation of deer (wasting disease), overpopulation of predators, fields of small farms and ranches left to go sterile, and other problems. May the defaults come more swiftly. It’s the only way that we’ll be rid of the families of marching morons and their bipartisan control over the media and politicians.

Stop making any unnecessary purchases, friends, and become more self-sufficient.

Have you seen the video? It clearly shows the little boat throttling up to cut off the whaler about 15 seconds before the collision.
