Note to person on helm of the little boat: Big boat vs. little boat. Big boat always wins.

Don't agree with the Whaling myself but I don't think I'd put myself in that position :woot:

That water cannon is immense.

b4pete 07-01-2010 01:19 PM

LOL! Does the bloke with the cannon on the aft end of the big boat blast them with another cannon after the impact just to piss them off even more lol?

These anti-whaling guys don't look to be short of money with that sort of boat do they? Not bad for a bunch of hippies!!

It's like the bat boat or something! Is it me or with the second water cannon blast does he blow one of the guys off the boat? Something goes flying into the sea....

Apparently the whalers also have a sonic weapon that incapacitates anyone that hears it. Sounds like a Peter Andre record!:thumbsup:

Whilst I dont agree with commercial whaling, I dont agree with methods Greenpeace etc use. If i was the whalers id have given them 3 chances to move, then shot the harpoon straight through the bow.
Utter Idiots.

Who remembers this
July, 1985. The Greenpeace flagship the Rainbow Warrior was in Auckland, New Zealand, having just completed a journey in the Pacific where it moved a whole population from their home, radioactive since the US tests at Bikini atoll in the 1950's. Greenpeace was again preparing a voyage into Moruroa to protest the continued French nuclear testing programme there as part of an expanded campaign against underground weapons testing by the US, UK, and the Soviet Union.

The Mitterrand government, exasperated, sent in scuba divers who planted two limpet mines on the hull of the Warrior. The subsequent blasts sank the Warrior, and took the life of a young photographer, Fernando Pereira.

Think they sealed the holes with gaffer tape:lol:

Obviously I hate whaling, but sea shepard's tactics are pretty appaling too, so both sides seem like idiots to me.

Though I like the wikipedia entry about the sea shepard guys going to harass the Russian whalers and getting chased off by Russian helicopter gunships. :thumbsup:
