No they are quoting WAtson saying that. But he's been using that line since 1984 accusing the Faroes poilice of using tear gas, and last season using a photo of the Japanese whalers testing onboard fire extinguishers as proof that they were using "tear gas guns", you can rest assured it's Watson's typical total nonsense. Tear gas can't be used on ships at sea unless you want to tear gas yourself in the process.

""Two of the deployed ropes had iron weights attached to both ends. The SS activists threw ropes with hooks attached to their ends several times," said the Institute, adding the anti-whaling protesters also hurled 30 bottles of paint".

Cletus The ICR also states unequivocably that they are conducting Research Whaling. Do you accept that?

No it;s manned by civilian seaman. They have JCG officers onboard for arrest defense purposes. So when it had RESEARCH painted on the side it was doing RESEARCH right?
Not when these clowns keep openly displaying their sheer stupidty and incompetence to the entire world.

Because she didn't say it at the same time and it doesn't make any reference to stock numbers, which is the point, not who said it.

No they aren't tools for research. They are tools for ripping protective netting and creating access to a ship physically higher than you. Many of the "pro-whaling crew" are simply "pro law and order crew". The issue isn't about whaling as it is about eco-terrorism and acts of viloence at sea.

Interstingly, there is no need for any "grappling hooks" onboard a ship the size of of the YM, or most any other ships for that matter. The sheer size and weight of ships can not he held with such hooks. It seems that those grappling hooks came from the Sea Shepherd Dinghy from there they were thrown with ropes at the YM's protective deck netting. The Sea Shepherd helicopter took a photo of a Japanese crewman who removed a grappling hook that was thrown at the YM by the Sea Shepherd Dinghy. So it appears that the eco-terrorists were hurt by their own toys being thrown back at them.

You're dead wrong there. Japan has asked the Australian government to stop the SSCI activity by not allowing them Aiustraklian port entry. This season Japan asked them to provide am Customs opr AMSA ship to be present to stop the eco-terrorist violence,. In both cases Australia refused. Japan has an actioin filed in the US Federal Court for the Southern District in Washington seeking ceasse and disist order to stop the eco-terrorist activity before someone gets hurt. Japan is completely covered legally and it will only be Watson screaming lies when one of his silly followers gets killed.

No it's not. The idiots ignore the loudspeaker warnings to stay away and continue to cross the vessels path and continue their harassment activities and get close enough for a bamboo pole to reach. And they do this while moving at sea with their rubber boat going up and down. It;s called "outright stuipidy".

First, because it emanates from Sea Shepherd we don't know to what extentthis iscredible. But even then, I don't see any problem. The Maltese tuna fishermen did something similiar to the SSCS eco-terrorists as well. Besides, SSCS themselves have declared that someone was going to get hurt and the odds are extremely high that it will be one of their members so really this isn't even newsworthy. The Research Whaling ships ships are the ones being unilaterally approached and harassed by smaller faster moving zodiacs. They warn the SSCS boats to get away with loudspeakers to avoid collision. SSCS ignores this and run their dinghie across the larger vessel's path. They approach to close proximity to throw objects and possibly to board. That the Research whalers would use bamboo poles to push them away is not uinexpected at all. One simply has to consider how closely the SSCS zodiacs are comming to them to even be able to use ":poles". If you havevevr been on moving vessels alongside you;d know the both move up and down with the waves, so if any idiot gets nailed by a pole that's not surprising at all. All crying about it displays is the lack of common sense and seamanship on the part of these eco-torrorists who are obviously unwilling to stop until one of their own is dead from incompetence.

So the numbers are what bothers you? Plese tell us exactly how may killed would be sufficient to qualify as "research" in your mind. The U.S. representatie to the IWC Monica Medina has stated that "if Japan killed 4000 minkes per year for the next 10 years it wouldn't affect the stocks".

Sure, when you can prove it's a spade. "Oh look they're eating the whles" isn't an argument either way as long as IWC Article VIII REQUIRES that the whales taken under Scientific permits are CONSUMED. AS long as Japan subits it;s reserch data to the IWC SCientrific Committee AS REQUIRED by Article VIII and the Committee does not reject that data as "invalid" or "false" their ios no argument there either. So on what actual FACT do you base this interstingly one sided ratio?

Cleo, we all know that Watson/Sea Shepherd put these 3 FRA fools onboard the SM2 in he first place so let's not play with words. And obivously the Australian government acted in the most prudent, legally and diplomatically correct way possible. And they certainly aren't foolish enough to seek the assistance of the very same people or ship that put them on the SM2 in the first place and created this unnecessary headache for them.

Japan is conducting research whaling under IWC Article VIII and they are submitting their data to the IWC Scientific Committee. Said committee has never rejected Japan's data as false or invalid. I can't think of any higher authority to determine whether "Research Whaling" is actually being conducted or not.

When the eco-terrorists start throwing Coca Cola, Sake and Yoghurt then your point will undoubtedly be taken. If it's not a strong argument why are the eco-terrorits wearing eye protetion when tossing these allegedly "harmless" substances?

Your interpretation of Australian law doesn't agreee with the Australian Attoney General. And she has infnitely more authority than you do on the matter. Please feel free to send her a strong email. Not that it matters since you;re going on and on about past history now.

The SM2 used to be a harpoon ship. It isn't now. And it wasn't last season either.
