I was surprised they kept spraying them with their hose after you hit them. That really does just add insult to injury.

That was AWESOME! I can't wait for the new season! So much for the new James Bond Boat. I wonder if Paul Watson was on it or if like usual he had some of his devout ship mates out doing the dirty work. Oh, man am I stoked for the new season. I heard the VS network is doing reallity show too, from the Japanese point of view. It will be hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.

this has been going on for the last 4 years. it was just a matter of time before a boat got sunk.
sea shepherd is not exactly blameless in antartic waters either. paul watson has rammed several ships with his "can opener" in attempts to rip holes in them. surprised he never succeded.
guess that shows that high tech doesn't mean high strength. glad no one got hurt. the second video made it look a lot worse. looked like the andy gil wasn't even really moving that much.
wonder what kind of insurance you have to have.But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

As much as I disagree with the Japanese continuing to hunt whales, those guys in the Andy Gil got what they deserved (I think).

But are they really poaching? They sure don't think they are.

It's like walking out into traffic on a crosswalk, not waiting for a gap in the cars.
You've got the right of way, but that doesn't mean you won't end up in the hospital. As the driver had to pay a ticket, you lay there for 6 months with your legs broken saying "I sure showed him not to mess with me."

These protestors put the sailors aboard the Japanese vessals at risk when harassing the fishing boats.
So, I applaud the actions of the Japanese!!bruce from bryce
