The SSCS's trimaran Ady Gil has been sunk. Whoohooooo!

Too bad the eco-fascists list a $1.5 million asset, their prized black racing trimaran. One more Jolly Roger in the bottom of the Southern Ocean.

"I think the Japanese deliberately took that vessel out; they saw it as a threat and they were under orders to take it out.

The video shows it was clearly the fault of the Ady Gil, 100%.

I don't care if this gets me banned. Those whalers are scum. They are the scum of the earth. And for FReepers who think they are God Almighty I implore you to go to Alaska during the Summer and take a boat ride to look at the humpback whales.

I am 99.9% against PETA and so forth but the Japanese are as barbaric as their ancestors in World War II.

The Ady Gil wasn’t attacked - she committed suicide.

“I think the Japanese deliberately took that vessel out;”

Come on, the security boat was a big slower moving ship and the Ady Gil a raceboat. We all know who got in whose way.

I honk at cows and moo at them, but I still eat beef.

I saw the video, the Ady Gil clearly rammed the Japanese ship. Any admiralty court in any jurisdiction will throw them out on their ear.

A whale is no different to a cow, just bigger. A lot bigger :)

Yup. The general rule is that he who is faster and more manoeuverable has an obligation to get out of the way.

Whalers are producing a product for which there is a demand for. Eco terrorists are piles of excrement.

"I can tell you now that if the oceans die, civilisations collapse and we all die.

Good grief. A few dead Minke whales aren't going to cause the sun to implode. There's plenty of them.

Cows aren't endangered species. These Japanese are complete barbarians and are breaking the law. They put up huge signs saying they are "doing research" when they are really just slaughtering whales for profit.

I pray that each and everyone of you watches "The Pacific" when it airs in March so you get a real taste of how barbaric the Japanese are. I don't know the exact date but there is a story of tourists going to a remote island 30 years after WW2 and they get gutted by Japanese who still are fightining for the empire.

You are dealing with maniacs. These whales are endangered, the ones who should be punished are the huns of our time, the Japanese.

I’m torn on this one. One the one hand, I think the Japanese ought to stop killing whales. There’s no “scientific” reason for the hunts. They’re just keeping whalers employed and the whaling companies afloat. Continuing the hunts is an economic decision and the US government, as a matter of public policy, should punish Japan economically as long as they keep this up. (We won’t. O’s too much of a wimp.)

But on the other hand, I really don’t mind seeing a bunch of greenie trustafarians lose their expensive toy; especially when they lost said toy by ramming it into the side of something solid.

They weren’t harvesting humpback whales, they were harvesting Minke whales, which aren’t even close to being a threatened species.

They got plenty of whales off the Oregon coast to the point of becoming a pest. Just ocean going buffalo that are a great food source. What other fisherman are barbaric in your book and should be unemployed?

Pray for America’s Freedom
