The whaling industry sold their refueling vessel for scrap this year That was bigger than the Nisshan Maru . They could not a fort it any longer. How? sea shepherds intervention and pressure from anti-whaling nations.

"The whaling industry?" You mean the whole industry got together to scrap a single ship. Plus, the Sea Shepherd didn't likely contribute to that in any significant way. International pressure I can believe, but your explanation is just silly.

No whales kill, no meat, no paid,no money, millions of debts,
The Industry have to paid for the workers, paid fuel for their vessels and maintenance that money going away and not getting their quota of whales and bride other nations to continue this slaughter of whales in a whale sanctuary.

Taking ship from a fleet is like taking a piece of a engine that make it work.

That's an awful analogy.

what? You cant bankrupt a whole industry by throwing eggs at their workers.

The rising cost of fuel likely led to this, NOT Sea Shepherd.

And Sea Shepherd has this interesting little tool on a few of their ships that they call a "can opener." It's purpose is to rip open ships' hulls. I see no reason why they wouldn't have used this to target the refueling ship (on its return, after emptied) if losing it would be that huge of a blow to the industry.

I did not say sea shepherd can do this all on their own. The people need to help from all around the world making pressure for it to stop.

and they do not throw eggs .

Yes it cost of SS,
IF SS not be around the Whalers be wasting thier fuel on the whale season to ctach the quota of 900-1000 whales each year, but with SS the whalers have to evade and confront the SS each day, wasting unnecessary fuel and costing time on the 3 months of a whaling season.

That device was damage. it was never use again.

You saw the link video or you read the info?
Either way sometimes.
Sometimes they run and sometimes they fight against the Sea Shepherds.

Personally, I would run their goddamn asses over.

But, I'm not a whaler, so I don't really care.

Yup,

"Clash between whaling ship and opponent

That is the biggest question arising from Wednesday's announcement in Tokyo that this season's whaling programme was being suspended.

The Fisheries Agency (FAJ) hasn't formally declared the season over, but it appears likely that the fleet will soon be on its way out of the Southern Ocean and back to harbour.

FAJ official Tatsuya Nakaoku blamed the suspension on harrassment by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which has made life progressively more difficult for the whaling fleet each year by sending faster and better-equipped boats.

This season, it has regularly managed to park across the back of the Nisshin Maru factory ship, making it impossible to winch whales on board.

Mr Nakaoku said it was a question of Sea Shepherd boats endangering safety.

So has Sea Shepherd won? It has pursued its campaign not only in face of physical opposition from the whaling fleet, but also objections from some anti-whaling observers who believe the annual confrontations handed the FAJ an opportunity to garner support by painting an image of anti-whaling activists as anti-Japanese and akin to terrorists.

The campaigns have certainly reduced the number of whales caught. The official target this season was 850 minke whales and 50 fin whales, although the fleet left port later than usual and was apparently aiming for a far smaller quota - perhaps as low as 200.

No official pronouncement has been made on the actual catch - Sea Shepherd estimates it at 30.

But the ocean skirmishes are just one part of a much bigger picture, with a number of factors combining to squeeze the Japanese whaling programme in a financial and political vice."- BBC news

That "Whaa" meant I didn't understand a damn thing. Make your sentences readable-r.

Whao, Whao whao! Before this goes to the bottom andnever to be seen again, there a big announcement.

"Whale Wars: The Next Chapter


(New York, New York, July 25, 2011) – Animal Planet today announced a new television project that will be a companion and “spin-off” series to the much talked about WHALE WARS, this time following the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s campaign to stop the annual pilot whale kill known as “The Grind” in the Danish Protectorate of the Faroe Islands. The project tentatively titled THE FAROE ISLANDS PROJECT began filming July 15 and will continue through the end of the Sea Shepherd’s “Operation Ferocious Isles” campaign. No airdate or episode number has been determined yet.

THE FAROE ISLANDS PROJECT will follow the Sea Shepherds and their larger operatives team and new technology as the conservationists try to stop the hunting of an estimated 1,000 long-finned pilot whales that are corralled by many men and boys living in the Faroes into shallow coves and killed. Whaling in the Faroe Islands has been practiced since about the time of the first Norse settlements on the islands. It is regulated by Faroese authorities on a community level.

“Operation Ferocious Isles” is the first time in 10 years the direct-action environmental brigade actively has intervened in the Danish territory. Many members of the crew will be familiar to WHALE WARS fans, including Captain Paul Watson, Peter Hammarstedt, Chris Aultman and Chad Halstead, and the land-sea-air campaign also will feature the vessels Steve Irwin and Brigitte Bardot (the trimaran formerly called the Gojira). Already, the Sea Shepherds have run into an unforeseen hurdle: the Steve Irwin has been detained as the vessel has been seized by a British court en route in the nearby Shetland Islands over a conflict with Maltese Bluefin tuna fisherman while the crew from the Brigitte Bardot continues their operations in the Faroe Islands.

“For the last four years, WHALE WARS has been riveting television because of the passion of the Sea Shepherds, the risks they take to save the lives of whales, and the magnificent and dangerous beauty of the Southern Ocean,” notes Marjorie Kaplan, president and general manager of Animal Planet Media. “Now they are once again preparing to put their lives on the line, this time in a lush and unfamiliar corner of northern Europe, where the customs are different and the killing of whales continues. And we plan be there to document every moment.”

THE FAROE ISLANDS PROJECT is produced by The Lizard Trading Company for Animal Planet. Liz Bronstein is the executive producer at The Lizard Trading Company, and Lisa Lucas is the executive producer with Animal Planet. Marc Etkind is the vice president of development for Animal Planet."

More terrorism, eh?

esalaka, on 16 August 2011 - 08:06 PM, said:

Went you say terrorism to SS, i say defending the oceans.

Terrorism is using terror as a means of causing something. Here that something is the end of whaling.

They've tossed gas grenades on top of boats. That, for me, counts as terrorism.

esalaka, on 16 August 2011 - 08:43 PM, said:

You see police throwing gas grenade at out of control people and they are not terrorism.

Raxki, on 16 August 2011 - 09:26 PM, said:

The people out of control were causing terror/panic, whether or not for any valid reason, and thus the point of the gas grenades was to subdue them and stop any terror/panic they might be causing.
The point of throwing gas grenades on a whaling ship was to cause terror in the pursuit of stopping whaling.

terror yes, not terrorism, they two different words, read a dictionary.

What they do is considered high seas piracy by many countries though.

Ok, a nation put a law to protect a marine specie in a zone of that nation but fisher mans kill the protected specie, so the people violated their own law and the government do nothing, so Sea Shepherd enforce the own law. So, who really doing something illegal?

A nation "put a law" to stop whaling in international waters?

Supah, on 17 August 2011 - 06:25 AM, said:

No, that law belong and was made by the international whaling commission, to BAN of killing whales worldwide in 1986. But they do nothing to stop it after the year 1987.

Also the place were japan hunt and kill whales are in Australia/New Zealand territory and it is a whale sanctuary a protected area for in danger species.

The Japanese are jumping through a loophole in Australian law (as far as i know). Allowing them to gather whales for scientific purposes. Therefore its up to Australia to fix the loopholes Instead of just making statements of being Disappointed with Japanese whaling.

IMPORTEN NOTE

"This will be the season that defines the future for the whales of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Japan’s Asahi News has confirmed that the Japanese whaling fleet will return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

It makes little political or economic sense for the Japanese fleet to return to the coast of Antarctica, but their motivation has now shifted from hunting whales to refusing to surrender to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

The Japanese government has said that it is not in the national interest of Japan to give in to pressure from Sea Shepherd. To this end, the Japanese government has allocated 27 million Australian dollars to enhance security for the Japanese whaling fleet. Already some 200 million dollars in debt, the whaling fleet continues to be an economic burden on the Japanese people.

“It is an insult to all the anti-whaling nations that so generously contributed to the relief of the tsunami and earthquake victims,” said Captain Paul Watson. “They have accepted foreign aid to help the victims of that tragedy, and are now shifting funds to perpetuate this illegal and obscene massacre of defenseless whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. It now seems they are simply obsessed with killing whales not for need, and not for profit, but because they believe they have the right to do what they wish and kill whatever they wish in an established international whale sanctuary, just for the sake of defending their misplaced “honor.” It’s a disgrace and a smack in the face to everyone who stepped forward to help in their time of need.”

Sea Shepherd will return to the remote waters for their 8th Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign with a stronger anti-whaling fleet in early December 2011 to protect the great whales.

“They will have to kill us to prevent us from intervening once again,” said Captain Watson. “Are the Japanese people ready to take human lives in defense of this horrifically cruel and illegal slaughter of endangered and protected species of whales? Do we have to die to appease Japanese honor? If so, my answer to the Japanese government is “hoka hey” (Lakota for ‘it’s a good day to die’), and we will undertake whatever risks to our lives will be required to stop this invasion of arrogant greed into what is an established sanctuary for the whales.”

Operation Divine Wind will send over 100 volunteers to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to defend the whales.

“If we don’t stop them, who will?” said Peter Hammarstedt of Sweden, First Officer on the Bob Barker. “We intend to stop them and we will stop them – that’s a promise.”

Operation Divine Wind will be the eighth year that Sea Shepherd has sent ships to the coast of Antarctica to frustrate the profits of the Japanese whaling fleet. Each year Sea Shepherd has gotten stronger and more effective, saving over 800 whales during last year’s Operation No Compromise."
