Seems to be a popular new series on TV.
So far, the Japanese only retaliate with water cannons and flash-bangs.

Can't wait till they start using real arms.

The whale huggers wanna be pirates, then deal with them like pirates.

I hope that ship is impounded and the skipper permanantly beached for such acts of stupidity at sea.

It's about time something was done about this.
Is the Japanese Navy able to help?

I am not much for tree hugging but the senseless slaughter of whales is a bit ridicules. Research my foot! Good for the hippies its about time they learned violence is effective.

Roger that. Whether or not you agree with whaling, this show just pisses me off. It just glamorizes eco terrorism. Kinda makes me wish the Japanese Navy would grow a pair and takes these guys out. (I like the impounding idea)

Really I can't blame the Japanese for doing this.

Looks to me the protesters got their stealth boat type deal much to close to the larger vessel thus getting it crunched. However, I see the Japanese were using water cannons! Who heck finances these guys to go out harrassing whalers anyway?

Was thinking the same thing when I saw that boat.

It seems logical that a huge craft is rammin' tiny craft.

No way to avoid it.

People like that guy who was banned for insulting people in the other whaling thread. I believe his name was Contact.

And maybe Discovery Channel.

I know Discovery has a whale wars program. It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Until then we will make millions.

I wouldn't be surprised if Discovery gave some/ a lot of money to the Sea Shepherds for creation of their "stealth" boat.

Which looks like something out of Batman in my honest opinion.
