It looks really really cool, then you watch it...The volunteers always screw up, and the cpt. wants to strangle them. Its frustrating.

OHHH I know. You would think they might practice launching their skiffs on the way........NAWWWW who needs practice.
Have you noticed how much Paul sleeps. He never gets outta bed till they find a whaling vessel. Most of the time he looks like a homeless person at the helm.
I went to the Sea Shepard site and it costs $100 usd just to put in an application to be a crew member.
Imagine how much money this scammer has made since the show came out. You could buy alot of granola with that kinda cash
I don't know how these people think that throwing stink bombs at Japanese whalers are going to make them stop. It's ridiculous.
Go to the sea shepard site and look at the "crewing at sea" portion
Then show a picture of the friends you can make
I think Paul Watson might not have to bad of an idea.
Welcome to the Sea Shepards girls.
I'd save a whale with that girl holding the blue basket anyday

Yeah, i agree with what they are trying to do but the way there doing it is so stupid,and makes themselves look stupid too. It kind of funny. I saw one episode where they were trying to damage the harpoon gun by throwing bottles of that acid stuff at it, but all it is is like a stink bomb. Not only did the acid not hurt the harpoon but the guy throwing the bottles couldnt even reach the boat and the acid was going into the ocean. haha. Also when they try to get the whalers propellars tangeled with a rope they throw off their boat the whalers just put a hook in the water and pick it up out of the water. I think that shows a joke.
Wow, so many things to correct about things people have said in this thread. First off, I HIGHLY suggest watching the documentary Sharkwater as another poster mentioned. Look it up on youtube, the entire documentary is there in 9 parts. I first saw it a couple years ago when some of the producers of the documentary came and did a screening at my college.
The butyric acid that is tossed on the deck is not harmful to humans, just smells like s*** and causes discomfort to the whalers reducing the effectiveness of their whaling and therefore can not make as much money. The butyric acid also has the possibility of tainting the meat and making it unmarketable therefore reducing the money that the whalers make.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society approaches ships that are illegally fishing or whaling in sanctuaries. According to Webster Dictionary, the definition of "Sanctuary" is as follows: "2 a (1): a place of refuge and protection (2): a refuge for wildlife where predators are controlled and hunting is illegal"
The governments of countries do not do anything about illegal fishing and whaling, as illustrated in Sharkwater, because of the amount of money that it brings to those countries. The fishers pay large amounts of money to the governments to overlook their illegal activities and unfortunately the politicians are too easily consumed by greed to see what they are actually doing by overlooking the population-decimating slaughter of whales and sharks.
The poster that stated that the Steve Irwin talks to the Japanese in english and that the Japanese only speak japanese: The Steve Irwin has a Japanese citizen ship that speaks in japanese to the whalers. ALSO, I wonder how the Japanese respond to the Steve Irwin in english and be able to write these "research" posters if they only speak japanese.
I do agree that the crew should be better prepared. Some of the accidents that occur could be prevented with practice and better communication.
Next year I will be applying to volunteer to work with the Sea Shepherd. I hope to work with people or are actually out there doing something about illegal fishing.

I didnt say write a letter, print it out and mail it......you imbecile. I meant document the facts, and present it to the governments of all the countries involved.
Seems alot more effective than ECO-Terrorism
