The anti-whaling Sea Shepherd Conservation Society said at 12.09pm today the Yushin Maru 3 intentionally rammed the Bob Barker penetrating its hull and endangering the lives of its crew.

No-one was injured.

The collision follows a collision between the space age carbon fibre trimaran Ady Gil and the Japanese whaling ship Shonan Maru 2 on January 6.

i’m sorry, but if i’m doing my job... out in the middle of the ocean... and you deliberately show up where you have no good reason to be... you are obviously there to cause me problems. i can either allow you to jeopardize my livelihood and risk my family’s income/well-being, or i can act

and as far as i’m concerned, boo-frickin-hoo. go get a real job, stop messing with someone else’s, and just be glad the fisherman don’t address the situation dockside in a back alley

I am against whaling and believe it should be banned. But these are ecoterrorists and should be put in prison. Eventually they are going to get someone killed.

The society said the Bob Barker had been actively blocking the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, the Japanese whaling fleet's factory ship.

Sounds to me like the one issuing fighting words is surprised he got punched in the face.

Did Bob have time to stop screwing his spokesmodels behind the curtain in the stair well to be able to do something else?

IIRC, the Rainbow Warrior was sunk by French commandos. They’re quite a force to be reckoned with, unlike their surrender-monkey counterparts elsewhere in the French military/government.

As Bob Barker says: “Remember to spay and neuter your whaling ships”

Why?

Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
And every British seaman he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
We’ll find the German battleship that’s makin’ such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
Yeah hit the decks a runnin’ boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down

It would appear the Japanese have finally realized that these seafaring terrorists have little support in the real world. They can be beaten down with relative impunity.

probably because whales are not capable of repopulating themselves at the rate at which the Japanese kill them.

God makes whales, Japanese wipe them out = bad thing.

“LOL. And never get between a whaling ship and its target prey!”

You really believe it ‘target prey’ in this case was a whale?

Hopefully, themselves.
