I was about to write some lengthy diatribe about these two but I'm already over it. If you've seen the show Whale Wars on television than you can come up with your own opinion. As for me well, "I'm not preaching but this is my opinion. Everyones got a right to free speech..."
You know what sickens and pisses me off? Misogyny, and the act of female genital mutilation to name something specific. Should we go to war with everyone who practices some cultural activity that we don't agree with?
I would bet these sea shepherd assholes wouldn't back a war/invasion on regions of the middle east and Africa that practice these far greater evils (and if you think a dolphin getting offed is worse than the afore mentioned evils, than you in FACT are a fuck-tard) but inciting war seems to be exactly what they are doing with the Japanese fishermen who carry out their historically established ways of fishing whales and dolphins. .
The way I see it, things breaks down to this - Arrogance and cultural relativism. Do I back the slaughter of dolphins? Fuck no. Am I arrogant enough to violently impede the actions of those that practice their cultural beliefs...shit you best check yourself if you had to think about it. Sorry folks but at the end of the day a dolphin is just another fucking fish. Have fun getting killed over it. Watch this video...

Pick your current, trendy cause-of-the-day. Instead of buying Quiksilver's shorts for $50, give the cash to the charity. But only if you think it's better to drive around the ocean burning fossil fuels, pissing off the japanese who have the international rights to kill their whales, and wasting everybody's time. I'd still like to nail Hayden Panatierre, so I hope this doesn't hut my chances.

Nearly fell out of the chair after i read that. I wanted to work a hayden reference in there somewhere but i flailed. Thanks el hefe
cultural relativism might be understandable if the offending act is confined to the culture's own borders, however, dolphins in the open ocean are an ecological, aesthetic, and spiritual resource for the whole world. if people from another country were destroying something that you cared about wouldn't you try to stop it?
I think Japan bombed Oregon in the 40's...
Still hanging on to that up here...
I wrestled a sealion to shore today...
Between go outs...
Lotsa fat, but tasty...
Dolphins tho?
No, I have to draw a line...
What do they tast like?
how are dolphins spiritual
yeah okay, but what are you doing about mutilated vaginas or genocide? If I was an oil man or a red cross worker in the Middle East those topics may be of more concern. If I make my living in the ocean sharing space with intelligent sea mammals, maybe they would become my cause.
you make your living "sharing"? I guess we only eat the dumb animals. We make the smart ones do tricks for us in swimming pools.
bottom line: A human life is more important than animal life.
SAVE THE HUMANS
Don't agree TJ. There are enough humans in this world, too fucking many actually. And most are stupid and lazy.
Animals are cool. Save the animals!
Most of us just sit on our ass. But I agree, if you are going to donate, make it to Red Cross or Amnesty Intl', not PETA.
I don't know - I guess it's the same message - don't kill living things period. I don't know why some people seem to care more about marine mammals than humans. Easier to pick on fishermen than Somali pirates I guess.
PT - not funny. Yes, the world is full of douche's, but those girls are innocent and defenseless - wake up.
Why do some people care more for animals than humans? It's called innocence. Fuck humans. There's way too many of the insects and they are the root of all the world's problems.
There's nothing "traditional" or "cultural" about strip-mining the ocean.
Fuck what the Japanese are doing. This goes far deeper than simply dolphins. They are shredding fish-stocks w/o regard for sustainability.
Sea Shepard = backed. Hard.
only difference is...women deserve getting mutilated and innocent animals dont.
Cultural relavatism is some weak sister bullshit.
Bad stuff is bad stuff regardless of how long it's been going on. Yes, mutilating people is worse but killing dolphins is horrible too. It's like killing the smartest dog you ever knew. Not cool.
You don't have to like the people behind sea sheppard. I don't like that style. So talk all the shit you want about them. But just cause you don't like them, don't confuse that with the issue at hand and say killing dolphins is cool.
Jesus you're a spoilt blog bitch. "Look at me! Look at me!" Would Mike Watt talk shit like you? Be a man and not a kid. Walk the walk motherfucker.
WWMWD
What Would Mike Watt Do?
No one said slaughtering Dolphins is cool, nor do I think that Douche necessarily condones the act of of slaughtering dolphins or any other marine mammal or fish species.
The main issue at hand is the silly and dangerous tactics the Sea Shepherd crew has taken to accomplish their goals. They made a shitty reality show out of it for chrissakes.
Maybe Sea Shepherd could make efforts to educate Japanese students on the environmental impact of these fishing practices and decrease the demand for dolphin meat... rather than storming Japanese ships like wanna be G.I. Joes and putting human lives at risk.
Be a man and quit posting anonymously! I don't know about Mike Watt, but Henry Rollins sure as fuck would!
wow man. just read the title. it's entirely about talking shit on sea shepherd. THAT'S THE POINT. these guys are kooks and their getting a bunch of brain dead surfers to follow and support them like sheep.
the whole part where i say i don't back killing dolphins...yea well I already said it fucking once, so if you couldn't get your brain around it then, i wouldn't expect it now. put the bong down and pick some glasses up.
i'm happy, you're unhappy though. i'm patting my back right now
I might add now that I'm at my computer and not my phone.
Knuckles danimal, your rebuttal in my defense was dead on.
To you anonymous,
You should get some sort of pretty colored ribbon for the "Missing The Point Completely" award. The question remains...
Should we go to war with everyone who upsets us?
(or to appeal to your train of thought)
Should we go to war with everyone who does something we think is "not cool"?
If the entire world supported your beliefs and the accompanying violent actions in support of those beliefs, then we would essentially have a world that acts like a jock whose emotions got the best of them. "You know, arrhggg I'm so pissed about dolphins, Im gonna throw acid bombs at you"
you might respond by arguing "pick and choose your battles", and my response might be that there are more important battles and more intelligent way s of fighting them.
I'm going to go out on a limb and bet these shepherd dudes are green peace liberals. You know, the kind that tends to denounce wars.
What can I say, hypocrites grind my gears. I'm not even sure why I took the time to explain this to you. After all, I said killing dolphins is cool! right?
*I'm not liberal, I'm not conservative. I just think for myself, and feel passionately about those who lead groups (in this case SURFERS) down the path of increased stupidity. Surfers are dumb enough jocks as it is. I'm done so you can go strangle someone now.
For the record a dolphin is a mammal, warm blooded, suckles it's young, makes love, has a complex social system and is a thinking being. Like you. No argument with a lot of what you have to say as it is basically about the perils of cultural imperialism, but there comes a moment when you have to say think about what you're doing. We don't burn witches, most countries don't stone adulterers to death, though some do, we don't kill whales, but we used to. Societies evolve and sometimes it doesn't hurt to give a nudge.
Great blog by the way.
I always said that if I could be any animal, that I would be a dolphin. Surfing and fucking!?!?! Count me in.
People always say, "Wouldn't you want to be a bird and fly?"
Fuck flying, I'm all about sex and tuberides.
i would love it if all the hindu followers started attacking cattle farmers
Your A Pack Of Dumb CUNTS, Sea Shepherd Suck But Id Sooner See You Tortured Than A whale You Gay Cock sucking Cowboys
Screw these losers! "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar" might help these clueless misfits out a bit. The crew is less sea-worthy than anything ive ever seen. Really, I hope that none of these hippies die. I just hope they see the downhill course and become jaded because of this attentionwhore and his idiocy. Paul Watson is a danger to everyone he comes into contact with. Save for "Perlous Pete" the rest of the whales can adapt like the rest of us do. Instead, we spend millions every year on a dying species. Duh.
I know many here are likely not very religious, but the ancient saying "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" idiom is truly the way to be.
Behave toward others as you would like to have them behave toward you.
This so-called golden rule is stated in just about every ancient writing about behavioral precepts (including the New Testament, Talmud, Koran, and the Analects of Confucius). Among the earliest appearances in English is Earl Rivers' translation of a saying of Socrates (Dictes and Sayenges of the Philosophirs, 1477): “Do to other as thou wouldst they should do to thee, and do to none other but as thou wouldst be done to.”
It transcends religion, and is more than just a nice catch-phrase.
The Sea Sh1t-tard crew should learn and practice this teaching.
GJA (not anon, just too many IDs all love the place)
This Sea Shepherd fanatic assholes are nothing else than a bunch terrorists. And they should be treated like that.
I´m sure donations are spent 1 week harassing a Japanese vessel and 2 weeks spending the money in the Caribbean.
Dolphins rape something every year. If we could stop just that one rape it would be worth every dolphin cock floating in the ocean. Kill the whales too, because they are mammals, in cahoots with the dolphins, and watch the dolphins rape things while filtering plankton. The real good part is the victim's squeals, which are magnified by the water. Sometimes dolphins rape each other for fun.
FUCK YOU WHARE & FUCK YOU DORPHIN!!!

Whales and dolphins are spiritual? They're also magical! Rainbows and fairies and dolphins and whales!
Screw the SEASHEPARD CONSERVATION SOCIETY tell them and that terrorist scum PAUL WATSON to GO SWIM WITH THE ORCAS or maybe troll for sharks when their smelling blood, Watson is a radical that the leftists rag TIME has named as a HERO OF THE PLANET nothing new for a left-wing news rag like TIME
It always seems really complicated in this mess, but it really isn't.
The IWC (the big group of countries that set the whaling restrictions that Japan and Australia are members of) put a hault to commercial whaling. They did so so the whale populations could be studied and possibly open restricted commercial whaling again.
The IWC every year gives Japan's whalers a quota of species of whales. Hence why the ships are 'research' ships. Now part of this is, the regulations the IWC made was that all whale meat caught for research (the quota'd amount) must be sold.
The other argument seems to be some sanctuary placed by Australia...well, not only is it not recognized by more than three countries world wide, but such a claim would violate the treaty they signed decades ago with other countries to not stake claims in the antarctic. So that's gone
Captain Skippy (Watson) is in this for the publicity and money, his inept, greenhorn crews are unfortunately being used by him. Watson is a manipulator, he knows how to do it (too bad video evidence tends to falsify his 'facts'). Just recently he's abandoned Pete Bethune, the capt of the Ady Gil that boarded a Jap ship and was arrested.
With every year that passes he gets more insane, not because of his "love for whales" but because he knows how to manipulate his funders.
One moment that always stood out to me on the type of guy he was is where he brags about how awesome his seamanship is vs that of the Japanese that he can take his ship through ice flows. Only he can do it because he's the master. Then once they're in the ice flow being beaten by chunks of ice, he retires from the bridge to go to his cabin. Any sensible seaman from the greenest greenhorn to the most veteran captain knows two things, don't go through ice, and when the situation is dangerous, the captain remains in charge and in control, not leave the bridge to go do a pr stint
i am tried of these self righteous ass clowns. i will show my support to the pro-whaling nations (norway and iceland) by going to japan and eat me a big, juicy whale burger with dolphin bacon.
holy shit dont get me started on these fucking goobers who think they are doing the just thing and helping whales. they drive around the ocean and follow the whaling ships in a boat that is too slow to keep up, in the first season they sat there and watched three whales get killed and loaded onto the processing ship and did shit about it. they threw about three bottles of that acid and none of their hippie limp wrists could reach the dirty japs boat. i was more pissed at the fucking sea Shepherd people than the whalers, they just drive around and waste gas and put on a sad pout face when they see whales get killed in front of them, sack the fuck up and do something of value with your life dont waste resources time and money just because some fucking stupid Hollywood actors will donate to your bullshit program that gets nothing done. FUCK that felt good, thank you for making this blog.
Bloody Sea shepherd... just because you have nothing better to do and don't have to earn a living with a real job, you had to ruin other people's job? Imaging a Japanese labour on the whaling boat, enduring those harsh environment and with you making it worse by throwing stink bombs at them, couldn't earn his salary (or got sacked) because you rich folks with a stipend stopped him from doing his job. So now his wife and kids back home have to be hungry and cold for another season. Feel better now you idiots!
Do you pirates thinks it is right to continuously hassle the Japanese whalers with stink bombs and other crap, then comment the Japanese were crying babies when some of them actually got hurt because of you?! Remember Paul, you shot yourself to cry wolf as well! Bloody flip-flops! Now that America has got their huge share of the earth's resources to build their nation to the state it is in now, you have the audacity to stop other people doing the same? You whaled, you fished, you mined, and you drilled, took all the money from it and you pretend to be goodie hippies and save the world from other nations? WTF?
The was one episode where they saw a seal being taunted, played, hunted and killed by Killer whales. Why did you try to stop the whales with you little delta boat and throw some stink bombs at them? Aren't seals worth saving? Let me tell you why, because you sissy know those whales will kill you in a heart beat! The only reason why you can stand up to the Japanese is because they didn't bother and are too civilised to fight back. Just a few rocket launchers and bom! All gone, including the cameras and the stupid show. No one knows, no one cares, they got lost and sunk and never heard of again! Did you even retaliate? No, those water cannons are just to defend themselves, have they even gone on offensive, no. As to arresting the dumb asses that got onboard, well, would you try to stop someone intruding you home with bottles of acids on their hands? Would you call the police and have them arrested? Yes! It doesn't matter what their intentions are even if they are "friendly" with the offensive weapons... The sea shepherd claims that the Japaneses are keeping them hostages, what hostages walk in to be captured? Dumb ones, I know... I rather think of them being robber, terrorist, intruders, law breakers!
These guys (and gals) are totally lost. With all of the bad things happening in the world today to HUMANS you would think that they (Sea Sheperd crew) could find a cause that saves HUMAN lives. What a waste. I wish that the Japanese would go on the offensive.
