A new (well, newly acquired 2 months ago) anti-whaling ship of the Sea Shepherd organization got rammed and cut in half by a Japanese whaling ship. Apparently the ship cannot be salvaged due to the ramming. All the crew was rescued though (although how a nimble and speedy looking ship like this gets rammed by a fishing boat I have no idea).
Looks like fun times! Good guy pirates in bad ass boats! (boat looks like the batmobile in the water)

The japanese did a good thing.
a boat as kickass as that in the hands of those people is like a titan in the hands of a highsec mission runner.

The reverse actually.
The anti-whalers are going in to low sec to pew pew with the whalers (guess they didn't read the patch notes where bumping mechanics were changed so ramming your inty into an Orca [see what I did there] doesn't turn out as well as it once did).

They actually should put Stan from Southpark in command of the 'operation'.
It'd be much better.

lol, that's awesome.
The ecomentalist morons are clearly in a far more agile vessel, doing at least equal speed and are cutting across the bow of the Japanese vessel when the collision happens.
If anyone could have taken action to stop the collision, it was person at the helm the ecomentalist's vessel. To me from that video it actually looks as if the Sea Shepard is the one doing the ramming, to be honest.
The Japanese need to start shooting at these morons with harpoons. They'll soon stop being morons when they're busy dodging stainless steel arrows.

Maybe they were trying to board the whaling ship to start a drum circle or something and miscalculated the approach. Either way, I LOL'd. _ |

Was it the new ship, The Steve Irwin?
Cause, well, that would be messed up on so many levels.
The whaling ship wasn't named sting ray or something was it?

Ahahaha that was awesome. Bonus points to the japanese fishermen for blasting them with a high pressure hose as they slid past. \o/
Tbh these econuts are lucky that little fiberglass batboat didn't go under the ship or they would all have been turned into fish food by the propellers.

Ecohippies, that's what you get for trying to ram a clearly marked and harmless research boat.
Also lol'd at the hippie batmobile boat. Were they really expecting to come out of that crash in one piece, or even damage Glorious Nippon's peaceful research vessel Shonen Maru no.2?

IIRC the eco-vessel in the vid has a potential top speed of 50 knots. So, could be lots faster than the Japanese ship. Certainly more nimble.
It may be they wanted to get rammed so they can sue the whalers. I think ships on the starboard side have the right-of-way (been ages since I had to know that so may be remembering wrong). So, technically, the Japanese ship should have given way.
Stupid? Maybe but I'm at a loss for any other explanation. Batboat captain had to know his ship would lose and lose badly in any collision with that factory ship.

They operate in international waters so there is no lawsuit motivation. They would want international attention though. It also isn't the first time they've tried to make it look like the Japanese do more than their best to just ignore them. _ |

Personally im on the side of the sea shepherd, i mean it gets the hippies out of the way.. thats got to count for something right?
Also it would be nice if teh "research" they do on whales was more than just finding out how they taste.

Yeah, you know, with those hundreds of pirates ships seized from the Japanese whalers and lots of Japanese whalers for hostages demanding Tokyo to stop whaling.
Seriously? "Nothing short of pirates"? I think the Somalis would like a word with you!
Nothing short of pirates, but actually pirating. *facepalms*.

I've seen that show more than a few times, the captain/helmsman of the Sea Shepherd should have known better.
Perhaps they'll stop being so aggressive now.

and you would rather I didn't eat meat just so some mass bred cow could live?or perhaps you would rather I refused to use medicine as at some point it was probably tested on animals.
Animal rights activists annoy me as they put the life of an animal higher than that of a human which is flawed on SO many levels. To further my point on medicine if it wasn't tested on animals first it would need to be tested on humans which with could result in a human life being lost which could have been avoided (not saying all testing catches things that kill but a lot).
PS Please don't use short hand on fourms you have plenty of time to type and edit your posts take care and love them.
[EDIT] I have no love for whaling but greenpeace would have us eating like rabbits so i detest them [EDIT]

But just on that logic, What gives us the right to place ourselves as a higher priority than that over animals?
Just because we deem ourselves smarter?
When you have a close look at human behavior, we're nothing more than feral animals who've learnt how to dress nicely and act polite to save face. (look at the world we live in in detail, its quite disgusting how we will walk all over eachother, sell children into slave labor, kill people for their organs, and generaly be nasty, foul, evil people just for the $$) At least animals kill out of necessity to stay alive (eat)
I'm not a greenpeace supporter, and i love my Meat, im just saying :P
On another note.... This will realy, realy, REALY mess with the Vegetarians/Vegans/Greenpeace.
They can GROW meat.
http://www.sphere.com/article/scientists-create-lab-grown-pork-bacon-industry-unmoved/19262314
They're doing it with Bacon, needs alot of fine tuning, but it can be done... how long till we will have Vatt grown meat? Since it will not be coming from an animal, and no anmials will be harmed to make it in any way shape or form.. will the Vegan's/Vego's eat it? or will the cry foul and team up with those religious pricks that think that Abortion is wrong even if the person that wants it is 16 and was ****d and has a mental condition which would not allow them to cope with the child.

I trol u.
Seriously though... what makes a whale so special in comparison to any other mammal, fish, reptile, bird or insect? It's far more humane to hunt, kill and eat an animal which has lived it's life in the wild and not known the levels of sustained pain and suffering which some intensively farmed species endure. As long as it is done in a sustainable way then what's the issue?

what are you saying, we do have a way higher priority than those dumb animals (and don't give me that dolphins are smart crap, lets see them make their own tools and do the underwater equivalent of fire) because we are smarter. survival of the fittest, sure we are not the biggest or strongest but we made up for it with tools and our intellect. i love meat, and would watch a cow get raised from birth and get killed then eat it without a second thought, but the first thought would be "damn this is fresh". oh, and i have never been hunting, but i would go hunting for sport.

I agree we aren't perfect but even a feral species value their own above another I'm just being honest here
also I don't agree with abortion (not in all cases, EG the one you described, but most) and am religious please find that comment very offensive tarring a whole ideology with the same brush because of people who have a warped sense of reality.
