Australian authorities crack down on Sea Shepherd

For years, the radical animal rights group Sea Shepherd has been able to freely use Australian ports in between its violent missions against Japanese whaling vessels. However, the situation seems to have changed:

Australian Federal Police searched the antiwhaling ship of the U.S.-based conservation group Sea Shepherd and seized videos and other documents from the vessel, officials and the ship’s captain said Saturday.

Australian Federal Police said the search, conducted at the request of Japanese government authorities, was carried out shortly after the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s flagship returned to the southern Australian port of Hobart on Friday.

Some of the videos seized may contain information about the alleged ramming of a Japanese whaling vessel last month.

Or both, since they say they plan to have another one soon.

Excellent !

Apparently this performance was prearranged between Aussie gov and Sea shepherd to appeal to the world, “Aussie government never help terrorist!!!”.
But needless to say, Sea shepherd is fully backed by Aussie government. In other words, it is one of government bodies of Aussie.
Bitch

The Overthinker

No, Sea Shepard is actually controlled by the Illuminati, operating out of Area 51 in league with the Rotschhilds and the Bushes. You see, Japanese whalers are perilously close to the real location of Atlantis, and must be stopped before they find the secret to free energy.

Overover thinker

Overthinker i think you are right. Sea shepherd will find the artifact and will safely deliver it to area 51.

Jack Elliot

It’s a government body? Oh really, what’s the official the name? The Ministry of Japanese Humiliation? You’re thinking of the CIA, retard.
Bruce Smith

You are incorrect. Sea Shepherd is not Australian. And Sea Shepherd is not a government body of any country.

TJ

It’s about time someone did something about these tree huggers. You know it’s ok to be pro something but when you start using violence into the equation, you become a terrorist.It’s time to send in the troops and shut these eco-terrorists down. When I hear that there is like 10 of a species of whale left then I think it is time to worry about them. I think they are hypocrites since they aren’t crying over the sharks they kill every day. What? It’s ok to kill sharks for food BUT oh no not whales are out of the question. After the whales they will try to stop all fisherman from catching fish and then eventually we will be forced to eat granola and twigs for the rest of our lives because “all life is precious”.

Rustyblade

You are correct, my family owns a ranch somewhere here in the good ol US of A and we always have tree hugging freaks telling us that beef is murder and all other kinds of stuff.

I watched the sea sheperd attack the Japanese Whaling ship on the discovery channel. I cannot believe discovery backs that crap. I for one would have used extreme force should they have boarded my ship or tried to inflict damage on just as I would if one of those tree huggers entered my house without permission or tried to disable my house or ranch in any way.

They have no right at all to push their beliefs down the throats of others. I for one am very tired of this left wing push to remove more rights from the people of the earth.

About time! Still, i’m a bit sad the Sea Shepherd wasn’t sunk. Preferably by ramming.
By a whale.
Whales Not Television Ratings!

In the past 31 years at the cost of millions and millions of dollars spent SS is still trying to stop the slaughter of whales, seals, and now sharks (the new give-us-money animal).

31 years of abject failure. Think about that.

31 years creating videos of whales being killed (seen that).

31 years of sea pirate story lines (done that).

31 years of guest appearances with B list Hollywood celebs (seen that).

31 years of ineffective, useless, and wasteful media output (done that).

And still whales are being killed, right now, as I write this. SS has a failed plan. They KNOW this.

It’s a great plan to harpoon millions from well meaning donors, but what about the last 31 years of dead whales, seals and now sharks?

This is the main thrust of our ongoing expose of these guys. We used to donate to them, then we looked beyond the Green Curtain and saw a Fat, sweaty man from Canada, frantically pulling the levers of media for…what,exactly?

Look, if you want to treat these miscreants with a god like status they do not deserve and worship at the False Golden Eco Idol of Sea Shepherd – that is yours to do.

For us we DEMAND results. 31 years of the same recycled eco news is long enough. It is high time for this three ring circus to end. Surely if your plan does not work you try something, anything, to change tactics?

Love this blog – hate your SS politics;)

PS: Agreed that the Aussies have something going. If they have all the production notes and off camera stuff from Animal Planet – god help SS. The relationship with with this film crew may well do serious and lasting harm to Discovery Networks IF it is discovered that much of the filming being done is being directed by or in any way suggested by that film crew. With Peter Brown on board this is a very likely scenario. Brown is the media loon behind the abortive “Mind of a Demon” eco mockumentary that put a broken shark sub into a newly minted Bio Sphere and proceeded to make the entire story up from there. This film disaster was then sold to CBS for a prime time tale of sharks and…

Wagging the Conservation Dog is a lynching offense in the world community especially done in such a high profile manner with such a high media value animal. The next few months will serve as a tale of how not to get caught with your eco pants down around your ankles.

Thus endth this rant;)

The Overthinker

James is seldom positive about SS, so I am not sure why you say you hate his SS politics. You seem to have no love for them either.

Helpers of light

wrong, illuminati want the whales and dolphins dead because the are Cetaceans – and are being incarnated by sirian souls – this helps humans ascend – and killing them prevents them from helping us ascend. illuminati are allowing them to be killed.

kenji

Finally these loonies are put in their place. I hope the Aussie gov’t puts a stop to these eco-terrorists.

I also never understood why only Japan gets the heat for whaling when Norway does it just as much.

Matt

Japan “gets the heat” because their Government tries to hide behind the label of “scientific research”. Australians as a culture admire bluntness and honesty. There would not have been half as much of an outcry if the Japanese Government had not gone the sneaky underhanded way. Most people forget that of the 20 something million population of Australia almost 80% live on the coast, this forms a cultural connection to the ocean. Whales and dolphins are symbols of that culture. Just as the Japanese claim a cultural tradition cannot the Australain people also claim that right?
Damn

@ kenji:

If you would’ve done some research you would’ve found that Sea Shepherd HAS bothered Norway. Matter affect they have gotten into conflict with the navy there. They also are responsible for sinking ships from Spain and Iceland.

Sea Shepherd is not a large organization like GreenPeace and cant be everywhere at the same time.

ダビ

“blaming each other” hah. It’s ridiculously obvious from that video that it’s the sea shepherd ship that’s ramming the whaling ship.

Bruce Smith

Exactly. And in any case the Sea Shepherd ship should not have been so close. They are a menace to navigation. If they kept a safe distance from the Japanese ships then there would never be any risk of collision.

Level3

But if they　kept a safe distance, how can they ram the whaling ship?

Send the Japanese Navy and sink these pirates.

Oh, and fill the water cannons with whale blood.

helical

But that will attract hundreds of sharks with the thick scent of blood in the water!
What if those people get knocked overboar… oh.

Never mind. Do carry on.

mye saito

the sea sheperd dis not correct but the japanese gov is wrong as well
Roger

I am just wondering how much whale meat would have been sold if there was no anti whaling hysteria? I would think SS is the best advertisement for whale meat.

The Overthinker

I wonder too. Perhaps we should tell Paul Watson that?
helical

I’ve tried dog … it wasn’t bad.
Now I feel the need to try whale, before the eco-loons get their way.
